Jennie Idell Reed , married Madden , (born April 20, 1978 in Bellevue , Washington ) is a former American cyclist and world champion.

Athletic career

Jennie Reed won her first two titles at the age of 16 at the national junior track championships in 1994. Internationally, she attracted attention at the 2004 World Track Championships in Melbourne when she was third in the Keirin .

In 2005 Jennie Reed was three-time champion in the US championships, in the keirin, in the 500 m time trial and in the sprint ; in the following years she was able to win seven other national titles. She was on the podium 17 times at World Cups . She also took part in the Olympic Games in Athens and Beijing .

In 2007 Jennie Reed was Pan American Keirin Champion , and the following year in Manchester World Champion in the same discipline; in the sprint she reached third place. After participating in the Beijing Olympics, she retired from cycling, but returned in 2011 to qualify in the team pursuit for the London Games. At the UCI Track World Championships 2011 in Apeldoorn , she won silver in the team pursuit with Sarah Hammer and Dotsie Bausch .

In 2012, Reed won the silver medal in the team pursuit at the Olympic Games in London together with Bausch, Hammer and Lauren Tamayo . Since she had only started in the qualification and not in the finals, she was not allowed to climb onto the winners' podium to receive her medal.

Jennie Reed then resigned from competitive cycling. She is the only American track cyclist to have won a World Championship medal in both a short-term and an endurance discipline (as of 2016).

Reed founded the Jennie Reed Foundation to introduce young people to cycling.
