In their Olympic debut, Secret Harbour mates Oliver Bleddyn and Conor Leahy have secured gold medals in the men's team pursuit.
It had been 20 years since Australia had won gold in the event but that all changed in Paris in the early hours of Thursday morning when Sam Welsford, Kelland O’Brien, Leahy and Bleddyn beat Great Britain at the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines National Velodrome.
Australia won by just over two seconds with a time of 3:42.067.
Peel District Cycling Club is where it all began for Leahy, 25, and Bleddyn, 22.
Leahy went to school at Mandurah Catholic College and Bleddyn Frederick Irwin Anglican School.
They now come home Olympic gold medalists.
