Perspective
In 2016, Carlin won his first senior international medal when taking silver at the European Track Championships in the team sprint.[2][3]
In 2018 he won silver medals at the World Championships in both the sprint and team sprint. This was followed by silver in the sprint at the Commonwealth Games and bronze at the European Championships in the keirin.
Carlin again achieved a silver medal in the team sprint at the 2020 World Championships. He then went on to become a double Olympic medallist at his debut Games in Tokyo, winning silver and bronze in the team sprint and sprint respectively.[4]
At the 2022 British National Track Championships in Newport, Wales, he won three British titles (to add to his previous five) after winning the sprint, keirin and the team sprint.[5] Later that year, he won silver in the keirin and bronze in the sprint at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[6] The latter was awarded following the relegation of Matthew Glaetzer in the deciding race after he was adjudged to have deviated from his racing line and unduly interfered with Carlin's sprint.[7]
On 24 June 2024, Carlin was named in the Great Britain squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[8][9][10] At the Games in Paris, he won a silver medal with Ed Lowe and Hamish Turnbull in the team sprint, losing out in the final to the Netherlands, who set a new world record.[11][12][13] He won a bronze medal in the sprint, having been beaten by eventual champion Harrie Lavreysen in the semi-finals and defeating Jeffrey Hoogland in the bronze medal final.[14][15] In the keirin, Carlin won his semi-final and advanced to the final, where he was involved in a last lap crash with two other riders.[16][17][18]
