Jamie Staff muses on missing the cut in the team sprint on Wednesday, which effectively ruled the United States out of the event in London
Staff was a member of the gold-medal winning team sprint squad at the Beijing Olympics. His other accolades on the track include a keirin world title (‘04) and team sprint world titles (’02 and ’05). The 38-year-old got his start in BMX, winning a world title in that discipline in 1996 and attaining world number one status in 2000 and 2001. He will begin his tenure with USA Cycling in July.
