Joel Fearon


Joel Fearon is a British sprinter and bobsledder. He represents the Birchfield Harriers and he is recognisable in the National Trials for wearing a black vest and lycra shorts. His coach is Michael Khmel, who also coached British Sprinter Craig Pickering. His personal best for the 100m, 9.96 seconds, places him 3rd on the UK all time list behind Linford Christie and James Dasaolu.
In addition to pursuing a sprinting career, Fearon has also competed in bobsleigh since November 2011, and was part of the Great Britain crews that finished fifth in the four man event at the FIBT World Championships in February 2013, and second at the Bobsleigh European Championship in January 2014. His team originally finished fifth in the Sochi Winter Olympics, but were subsequently upgraded to bronze medal position after two Russian crews were disqualified for doping violations.
In October 2019, it was reported that Fearon would compete for Switzerland during the 2019-2020 bobsled season on a year long "loan".
