Scott McGrory

Scott McGrory (born 22 December 1969) in the Victorian country town of Walwa is an Australian former professional racing cyclist. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder. McGrory was most successful in track cycling, winning the gold medal in the Madison at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, a silver in the Madison at the 1996 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Manchester and a bronze medal at the 1988 Summer Olympics in the team pursuit.

Scott started cycling at the Lavington School Boys Cycling Clinic in Albury/Wodonga. His family moved from Wodonga to the Gold Coast in Queensland when McGrory was 10 and his first State representation was for Queensland. He also represented South Australia and finally his state of birth Victoria, where he now lives. McGrory won his bronze medal in the team pursuit at the 1988 Summer Olympics at the age of 18.

McGrory turned Professional in 1994 for the Jayco Team, and won the Australian Professional Road Race Championship that year. In 1996 he signed a contract with the German Die Continentale team, and spent three seasons with them. It was during this period that he started riding the European Winter 'Six-Day' circuit and won the silver medal in the Madison at the World Championships. In 1999/2000 he rode for Team Gerolsteiner and cemented himself as one of the top Six Day riders in the world, and also continued competing as a Road Professional.

After winning the Gold Medal at the Sydney Olympics, Scott joined the number 1 ranked team in the world
