GUYANA’S two-time Olympian, James ‘Joelyn’ Joseph, will today (Friday) contest the semi-finals of 1000 metre Match Sprint event at the World Masters Cycling Championship in France.
Joseph is the defending World Masters Men’s 65-69 age category Champion.

He has consistently kept the Golden Arrowhead flying at the recent International Cycling Union (UCI) World Masters Track Cycling Championships with several podium finishes.

At the 2023 World Masters Cycling Championship which was staged at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester, England, he won his pet event the Match Sprint, out-sprinting the USA’s Kurt Sato to the finish line, as another USA cyclist Jay Wolkof, came in third.

Joseph won a silver medal on Monday in the 5000 kilometre Scratch Race at the same event, finishing behind Luc Nouwen of Belgium with Graham Barclay of Great Britain placing third. (Joe Chapman)
