Brent Emery

Brent Emery (born September 15, 1957) was a cyclist for the United States at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California, where he won a silver medal in the team pursuit.

He married Julie Emery (Fluet) on August 3, 1985 after meeting her at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics where she came to watch her brother, Steve Hegg win a gold and silver medal, also in cycling.

He placed 6th in three events (750m TT, Points Race and Team Sprint) at the 2007 World Masters Cycling Track Championships in Sydney, Australia.

The last pro level bicycle race that he place in the prize money was in the Giro De Grafton in 2013 at the age of 56.

He is still quite active in the bicycle, triathlon and running community, but cannot push efforts to get his heart rate to a high level.

In 1984 it was confirmed that Brent along with 7 other teammates of the 1984 US Olympic Cycling Team participated in blood doping - a practice banned by the IOC/USOC.

In 1981, he designed the first of what would later be called the funny bikes that propelled the USA to a record medal haul at the 1984 Olympics.
