Harry Birchill

Harry Birchill’s maiden appearance at a Commonwealth Games saw him finish eighth in the mountain biking cross country at Birmingham 2022.

The 22-year-old was crowned the Under-23 cross country champion at the National Championships in Plymouth, shortly before that, just down the road from where Birchill grew up.

The Devonian’s very first race was a South West cyclocross event when he was seven and he has since taken his talents to the global stage, winning a Youth Olympic Games bronze medal in Buenos Aires four years ago.
