Which British track cyclist has the most Olympic gold medals?

The British track cyclist with the most Olympic gold medals is Jason Kenny.

Kenny won seven Olympic gold medals and two silver medals across four Games, making him Great Britain’s most successful Olympian by gold-medal total. His Olympic career began at Beijing 2008, where he won team sprint gold with Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff and took silver in the individual sprint.

At London 2012 and Rio 2016, Kenny became one of the defining sprinters of his era. He collected golds in the team sprint and individual sprint at both Games, then added the keirin at Rio. At Tokyo 2020, he won another keirin gold, moving to seven Olympic titles overall and surpassing Hoy’s previous British record of six golds.

Laura Kenny, Jason’s wife and a fellow track cyclist, is Britain’s most successful female Olympian, with five Olympic gold medals and one silver. Bradley Wiggins has more total Olympic medals than Kenny had before Tokyo, while Chris Hoy was the earlier British record-holder for golds. The question asks specifically for gold medals, which is why Jason Kenny is the single best answer.
