He is the former World Champion in the Individual Pursuit. Edmondson was born above a Chinese coffee shop in Borneo. He lived in both Holland and the Sultanate of Oman before returning to Australia at the end of 1998. At the age of 18, Edmondson became the 2nd youngest cyclist ever to be selected for an Australian Olympic Team.〔 With his sister Annette they became the first brother and sister combination to be selected to represent Australia at the same Olympics. For recognition of his achievements Edmondson was awarded a scholarship with the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sport Australia Hall of Fame – Scholarship profile – Alexander Edmondson )〕 In 2013 he won the South Australian Sports Star of the Year award. Previous winners have included Lleyton Hewitt, Sir Donald Bradman and Malcolm Blight. In March 2014 Edmondson competed in the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Cali, Colombia winning two World Titles in the individual pursuit and team pursuit. A few months later Edmondson won the Gold Medal in the team pursuit at the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Glasgow. In January 2015 it was reported in the Adelaide Advertiser that Alex had signed his first UCI World Tour contract with Australian road cycling team Orica-GreenEdge for seasons 2016 & 2017 He is also a dual Junior World Champion where his records still stand today. Edmondson believes it's critical that he is a champion both on and off the bike, and has become increasingly involved in community events since he returned from the Olympics. Edmondson volunteers his time at local high schools mentoring and speaking with students encouraging them to get the best out of themselves. He talks about goal setting, pain is a short term hindrance and how important challenging yourself is.
