Athletic career

Cameron Meyer became the 2006 junior world champion on the track in the single pursuit , the team pursuit and in the Madison with his brother Travis Meyer . In 2007, he finished second in the Australian U23 road championship. A short time later, he won the points race at the Track Cycling World Cup in Los Angeles .

In 2009 and 2010 Cameron Meyer was world champion in the points race and with Leigh Howard in the Madison and in the team pursuit, together with Jack Bobridge , Rohan Dennis and Michael Hepburn . With three gold medals, he was the most successful athlete at these world championships. Also in 2010 Meyer won the gold medal in the points race and in the scratch at the Commonwealth Games . At the UCI Track World Championships 2011 in Apeldoorn , Meyer was again world champion in two-man team driving together with Howard and vice-world champion in points driving. In 2012, he and his team Orica GreenEdge won the bronze medal in the team time trial at the road world championships .

Meyer left his then Dimension Data team in June 2016 . For personal reasons, he was unable to train and perform as necessary and did not want to be a “burden” for the team. After a four-month break, he returned as a cyclist in October, where he took part in the London Six-Day Race. A little later he won the gold medal in the points race at the first round of the Track Cycling World Cup in Glasgow . In April 2017, he became world champion in the team pursuit for a second time after 2010 in Hong Kong together with Sam Welsford , Alexander Porter , Nicholas Yallouris , Kelland O'Brien and Rohan Wight . In the single pursuit, he won the fourth world title.

Meyer announced in August 2017 that he had signed a three-year contract from 2018 to 2020 with the UCI WorldTeam Orica-Scott. The team management declared to support Meyer's ambitions to win the Madison race of the Olympic Games 2020 . At the UCI Track World Championships in 2018 in Apeldoorn , he was world champion in the points race and won the bronze medal in the two-man team race with Callum Scotson .
