Conor White Reflects on Commonwealths
Conor White said he is proud of his performances after becoming the island’s first track cyclist to compete at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
White, who races for Jakroo Handsling Racing in England, finished sixteeth in the men’s 40km points race final, eighteenth in the 4,000 metres individual pursuit and twelfth in qualifying for the men’s 10km scratch race at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow.
The 26-year-old made his UCI track cycling debut just 11 months ago and said he arrived at the Games without expectations.
“My goal was simple: give it everything I had, perform to the best of my ability, and see where I stacked up,” White said.
White said he hopes his appearance will help raise the profile of track cycling in Bermuda.
“I’m incredibly proud to have represented Bermuda on the track at a major Games for the very first time,” he added.
“I hope this is just the beginning and that it inspires the next generation of Bermudian cyclists to discover what’s possible in track cycling.
“A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey!”
