Biography
Joel Fearon (born 11 October 1988) is an English 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, whom he shares with 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, second at the Bobsleigh European Championship in January 2014 and fifth in the Sochi Winter Olympics.
