Ethan Mitchell (born 19 February 1991) is a New Zealand track cyclist. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the men's team sprint for the national team.[1]
Mitchell has had a successful career in track sprinting after specialising in the 'standing lap' role of first position in the team sprint. Mitchell burst on the scene as a starter at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and has consistently risen the ranks to be one of the world's fastest from the gate.[citation needed] He has received Gold, Silver and Bronze medals at World Cup events and Silver and Bronze at the World Championship level in the team sprint. As Junior World Champion in 2009, an elite men's world title has eluded him and the New Zealand team. At the 2016 Rio Olympics, he won a silver medal alongside Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins in the team sprint.[2]
