Filippo Ganna (born 25 July 1996) is an Italian track and road cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers.
He is a record-breaking six-time world champion in the individual pursuit, winning a total of nine medals at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, and part of the Olympic gold medal-winning team in the team pursuit at the 2020 Summer Olympics. He also won the men's individual time trial at the 2020 and 2021 UCI Road World Championships, and four stages in the 2020 Giro d'Italia and two stages in the 2021 Giro d'Italia, setting the record for most consecutive time trials won at the Giro with five. He was the previous world record holder in individual pursuit and he is the current record holder of the hour record, which he unified with the best human effort since the distinction was first made in 1997.
Career
The son of former Italian Olympic sprint canoer Marco Ganna, Ganna emerged into the scene at the 2016 World Indoor Championships with an uncommon negative splits pursuit style of starting very slowly and falling behind, then winding up the speed in the second half to win. Ganna rode for Italian amateur team Team Colpack, before turning professional with UAE Abu Dhabi in 2017. After two years with the team, he joined Team Sky ahead of the 2019 season.
Between November 2019 and February 2020, Ganna set a world record for the individual pursuit on three occasions, lowering the mark from over 4 minutes, 5 seconds to a time of 4 minutes, 1.934 seconds at the 2020 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin.
At the 2020 Summer Olympics held at Tokyo in 2021, together with Simone Consonni, Francesco Lamon and Jonathan Milan, he won the gold medal in the team pursuit. The team set a new world record two times, both in the 3rd battery round against New Zealand and in the final against Denmark, at 3:42.02. Italy had set the new Olympic record in the qualifications, which Denmark had beat in the next race.
On 8 October 2022, Ganna set a new hour record of 56.792 kilometres (35.289 mi) at the Tissot Velodrome in Grenchen, Switzerland, beating the previous record of 55.548 kilometres (34.516 mi) set by Daniel Bigham on 19 August.
