Kye Whyte

Cycling Disciplines

Kye Whyte (born 21 September 1999) is a British male BMX racer who won the silver medal at the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He began riding BMX at three at Brixton BMX Club and later rode for Peckham BMX Club, co-founded by his father Nigel, alongside his brothers Daniel and Tre. A crash soon after he joined the British Cycling talent group put him in an induced coma and kept him off the bike for a year. He took European championship silver behind teammate Kyle Evans in 2018 and won his first UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Manchester in 2019. In Tokyo he lost a close final to the Dutch rider Niek Kimmann. He won the European title in 2022 and took world championship silver the same year.
