Robert Power (born 3 July 1971) is an Irish former cyclist.[1] He competed in the team time trial at the 1992 Summer Olympics.[2] Power won multiple races as a junior and senior rider in Ireland.[3]
Biography
Power was born in Dungarvan, Ireland, in 1971,[1][4] and was an All-Ireland Schoolboy champion in 1989.[1][3] At the Irish National Cycling Championships, Power won the junior title in 1988, and the senior title in 1993.[1][5] The year after winning his junior title, he was awarded with the Junior Sports Award for cycling by the Cork Examiner.[1]
At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, he was part of the Irish team that finished in 17th place (out of 30 teams) that took part in the men's team trial.[4][6] Power was also scheduled to race in the men's individual road race at the Olympics, but prior to the race he broke his collar bone in a fall while training.[1] He also suffered internal bleeding on his kidneys, spending nearly two months in hospital.[4] The injury led Power to retire from cycling at the age of 24.[4] However, in 2012, Power made a return to racing.[7]
Outside of cycling, Power was a professional photographer and also fished internationally for Ireland.[1][8]
