Kim Cadzow (born 18 December 2001) is a New Zealand professional racing cyclist, who currently rides for the UCI Women's Continental Team EF–Oatly–Cannondale.[2] She is the 2024 New Zealand Time Trial Champion.
Whilst relatively new to cycling, Cadzow has been involved in sport all her life initially as a swimmer and briefly as a professional triathlete competing mainly in 70.3 half ironman races. Kim swam for several years for Greerton Swimming Club in Tauranga, New Zealand specialising in backstroke and Individual Medley races. She was a regular competitor at National Age Group Champs and the New Zealand Open Championships.
Her brief period in Ironman triathlon saw her progress to pro level quickly but COVID travel restrictions from New Zealand made competing at top level impossible. Kim entered local events and decided to concentrate on cycling after her first attempt at 2021 New Zealand Age Group Nationals produced 3rd place in both the time trial[3] and road race.[4]
In 2022 Kim entered the National Championships in New Zealand for the first time and won the Under-23 Time Trial.[5] Shortly afterwards she achieved 2nd in the Oceania Under 23 Time Trial and headed to Europe for her first season with Torelli-Cayman Islands-Scimitar. A standout performance in the Mount Ventoux Denivele Challenge attracted attention from several World Tour Teams, coming 5th amongst major names in the World Tour. A move to Team Jumbo-Visma was secured for 2023.
A 2023 highlight was a 3rd place at the 2nd stage of Tour of Scandinavia where Kim showed her climbing ability on the Norefjell.[6] At the end of 2023 Kim ended her contract with Jumbo-Visma and secured a move to EF Education-Cannondale.[7]
