Dan Hunt: The Big Interview

Ben Swift and coach Dan Hunt, London Track World Cup 2012, day two

Dan Hunt, who recently left his role as a Team Sky directeur sportif to work for the Premier League's Elite Player Performance Plan, was one of the masterminds behind Great Britain's success at the Beijing and London Olympics

An expert in Exercise Science and Physiology, Hunt joined British Cycling in 2005 to transform the failing women's endurance squad. This led to Rebecca and Wendy Houvenaghel taking a one-two in the individual pursuit at the 2008 Games. He switched the men's squad in 2009, and helped them win the world and Olympic titles last year. Hunt then became a full-time DS at Sky for 2013, and managed the team at the race including the Giro d'Italia.
