COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – April 29, 2025 – USA Cycling is excited to welcome Paul Manning as the new Women’s Track Endurance Coach. A decorated Olympian and highly respected coach, Manning brings a wealth of experience and a winning mindset that will help elevate the women’s track program following the retirement of former coach Gary Sutton.
Manning won three Olympic medals – one of each color – while racing for Great Britain’s Men’s Team Pursuit squad across three Olympic Games. After retiring in 2008, he joined the British Cycling coaching staff and led the Women’s Team Pursuit squad to gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games, earning ‘High Performance Coach of the Year’ honors at the UK Coaching Awards. Most recently, he coached with Cycling New Zealand, guiding their Women’s Team Pursuit to the gold medal final at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where they finished just 0.6 seconds behind Team USA.
With multiple world and Olympic titles under his belt as both an athlete and a coach, Manning knows what it takes to compete at the highest level. He’ll now lead USA Cycling’s Women’s Track Endurance program with a focus on key international competitions, including the World Championships and the upcoming Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
“We’re thrilled to have Paul on board,” said Craig Griffin, USA Cycling’s Director of Track. “He’s not only a world-class coach but also someone who understands athlete development and how to build a strong, positive team culture. We can’t wait to see the impact he’ll have.”
In his new role, Manning will work closely with athletes and staff to help shape the future of the USA Cycling track program, marking a major step in the organization’s ongoing investment in athlete support and long-term success.
“I’m really looking forward to this new chapter with USA Cycling in Colorado Springs,” said Manning. “The U.S. has incredible talent on the track, and I’m excited to be part of helping these riders achieve their goals.”
