Gunnar Holmgren (born June 23, 1999) is a Canadian cross-country mountain biker and cyclo-cross cyclist. He won the cross-country race at the 2023 Pan American Games.
Early and family life
Holmgren grew up in a sporting, outdoors environment, with his parents Robert and Lisa both being keen mountain bike racers and his family living on the Hardwood Ski and Bike facility. Despite this, Gunnar's first sport was figure skating, which he competed in at a high level until the age of 14, when he switched to cycling. He is the older brother of fellow racing cyclists Ava and Isabella Holmgren.
Career
At the 2024 Mountain Bike World Cup round in Nové MÃÂsto na Moravàin May, Holmgren scored a personal best of eighth, the day after his sister Isabella won on her Under-23 World Cup debut at the same venue. That same year, Gunnar and Isabella were named to Canada's 2024 Olympic team.
