Early years[link]

Pendleton rode her first race, a 400m event on the grass track at Fordham at nine. Pendleton showed her promise at 13 and was spotted three years later by the assistant national track coach, Marshal Thomas. At that time she wanted to concentrate on her education, graduating from Fearnhill School in Letchworth Garden City, and later awarded a degree in Sport and Exercise Science by Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne. She enjoyed some success on the track as a student before graduating and becoming a full-time cyclist.^[2]

Success on the track[link]

Pendleton at the 2008 Track World Championships

Pendleton won one bronze and three silver medals in the British National Track Championships in 2001, while still a student. In 2002, she qualified for the England Commonwealth Games team, finishing fourth in the sprint. She again came fourth in the sprint at the 2003 world championships in Stuttgart and the 2004 World Championships in Melbourne. She ranked 2nd overall in the World Cup for the sprint in 2004, winning the World Cup event in Manchester.

At the 2004 Summer Olympics, she finished sixth in the time trial and ninth in the women's 200m sprint

At the 2005 World Championships, Pendleton won her first major medal with gold in the women's sprint. She became the third British woman to become a cycling world champion in 40 years.^[3]

At the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, she won silver in the 500m time trial and gold in the sprint.

At the 2007 UCI Track World Championships, she won the team sprint with Shanaze Reade, the individual gold in the women's sprint, and a third gold in the women's Keirin.^[4] She crowned the year by being named Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year for 2007, becoming the first cyclist to win the award in its 20-year history.^[5] Pendleton was also voted Sports Journalists' Association of Great Britain's sportswoman of the year for 2007.^[6]

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Pendleton won the gold medal in the Women's Individual Sprint Event.

Pendleton was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours.^[7]

She retained her world sprint title at the 2009 UCI Track World Championships in Pruszków. Each sprint was so closely matched it required several photos, leaving Pendleton emotional but victorious over her Dutch opponent, Willy Kanis.^[8]

At the 2011 World Championships Pendleton won a silver and bronze medal in the team sprint and sprint and finished seventh in the keirin.^[9] Partnering Jess Varnish, Pendleton won the team sprint in her only event at the British Championships.^[10] At the European Championships Pendleton won the team sprint and Keirin titles, but only came eighth in the sprint.^[11][12][13]

In February 2012 Pendleton and Varnish set a new world team sprint record of 32.754 seconds, beating Kaarle McCulloch and Anna Meares of Australia at the Track World Cup in the London Olympic Velodrome.^[14] In the sprint and the keirin Pendleton came 4th and 5th respectively.^[15][16] In Pendleton's final World Championships in Melbourne she won her sixth World Sprint Championship. She fell in the first heat of the semi-final against Meares. In the second heat Meares was relegated for going outside her lane. In the decider Pendleton won in a photo finish before defeating Simona Krupeckaite, winning 2-0 with the second win coming from another relegation.^[17] Pendleton finished medalless in her other two events.^[18][19]

Anna Maree Meares, OAM (born 21 September 1983 in Blackwater Queensland) is an Australian track cyclist.

She has been the 500m TT world champion twice, and a gold medalist at the Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

Biography[link]

Anna Meares started competitive cycling at the age of 11 in 1994, following her older sister Kerrie Meares into the sport. The family were inspired to take up competitive cycling by Kathy Watt winning a cycling gold medal at the 1994 Commonwealth Games. With the family living in the small Queensland coal-mining town of Middlemount, it was more than two hours drive to the nearest cycling track at Mackay for the girls to train.

During the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, she won a gold medal, and set a new world record in the Women's 500 metre time trial of 33.952 seconds. Meares had to beat a new Olympic record set just minutes previously by the reigning World Record holder, Yonghua Jiang of China. (See Cycling at the 2004 Summer Olympics). The event was abolished from the Olympic program so Meares could not defend her title in 2008.

Meares also won a bronze medal in the Women's 200m Sprint event in Athens.

In May 2004 at the Time Trial World Titles in Melbourne Meares claimed the title of Women's World time trial champion, and won a silver for the sprint event. Also claimed first in the 2004 World Cup Time Trial in Sydney.

In 2002 Meares narrowly missed a bronze medal in the inaugural inclusion of the 500 metre time trial at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, while her older sister, Kerrie Meares won the gold medal in the event. She won a bronze medal in the sprint.

In 2001 Meares was awarded the Australian Junior Women's Track Cyclist of the Year.

Meares made an astonishing come back from a very bad cycling accident at the World Cup in January 2008 when she broke her neck. But she fought her way back and qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.^{[1] [2]}

Meares had an eventful semi-final in the sprint at the 2008 Summer Olympics, having lost the first heat to her opponent Guo Shuang, she won the second heat. The third heat saw Guo come down the banking too steeply and her front wheel slipped from beneath her. The heat was re-run and although Guo won by a few millimetres, she was relegated for coming down the track and pushing Meares onto the côte d'azure on the final lap, Meares was lucky to keep her bicycle upright. This put her through to the final ride-off for gold against Victoria Pendleton, Meares was beaten and received the silver medal.

Meares was Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Athlete of the Year in 2007 and 2011 ^[3] and 2011 inducted into the AIS 'Best of the Best' ^[4] .

At the 2012 World Championships which took place in Mears' home country of Australia in Melbourne, Mears was favourite for three gold medals. In the team sprint Mears' won silver as Germany set two world records in the event.^[5] In qualification for the individual sprint Meares broke the World Record for the flying 200 metres. Mears completed her lap in just 10.782 seconds shaving 11 thousands of a second off Simona Krupeckaite's mark.^[6] In the semi final Mears faced her old rival Pendleton. Pendleton clashed with the Australian in their first heat and ended up on the floor before Meares was relegated from the second for going outside of her lane. In the decider Pendleton won in a photo finish, with Mears settling for bronze after defeating Lyubov Shulika.^[7]. In the keirin, Meares won both her qualifying races before reaching the final, where she held off Russian Ekaterina Gnidenko and German Kristina Vogel to win the first of two world championships in Melbourne.^[8] Mears set her second world record of the championships in her final event. Mears recorded 33.010 seconds to break the record by .286 of a second which was previously held by Simona Krupeckaite. With the time Mears won her second title of the championships and equaled Felicia Ballanger's record of ten world titles.^[9]

Frederick "Fred" Seibert (born September 15, 1951, in Manhattan, New York) is a television and film producer and entertainment entrepreneur who owns Frederator Studios, and who has held leading positions with MTV Networks, Hanna-Barbera, and Next New Networks. Working in media innovation for thirty years (his official biography says he's had "five lives,"^[1]) he has directed breakthroughs in cable television,^[2] animation,^[3] and the internet.^[4]

Cable Television[link]

Seibert was MTV's first creative director and guided its original voice and visual identity, creating hundreds of promotions, advertisements, and station IDs for the channel, and responsible for a rethinking of how television channels promoted themselves as "brands." He also commissioned and approved the mutating MTV logo, despite network executives objections to a logo that did not remain constant.^[5][6] He led the team that developed one of the most famous advertising campaigns of the late 20th century, "I Want My MTV!"^[7]

In 1985, with partner Alan Goodman at Fred/Alan Inc., Seibert successfully overhauled the then-floundering children's cable channel Nickelodeon, moving it from worst to first in the ratings in six months;^[8] and conceived and executed the Nick-at-Nite concept.^[9] Fred/Alan became the first branding company in television, working closely with Showtime, The Movie Channel, VH-1, Lifetime, TV Heaven 41, Playboy, and Comedy Central. They are also credited with inventing the television marathon.

Animation & Cartoons[link]

Seibert became president of Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc., in 1992, and turned around the struggling animation studio by revamping its production and development process. He created Cartoon Network's What A Cartoon!, a showcase for new animated shorts which spun off several series including Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, and Courage The Cowardly Dog. He remained at Hanna-Barbera until 1996, when H-B's parent company, Turner Broadcasting, merged with Time Warner.

Seibert founded animation production company Frederator Studios in 1997. Frederator currently has a first look production deal with Nickelodeon, and its productions include The Fairly OddParents, ChalkZone, My Life as a Teenage Robot, Nicktoons Film Festival, Oh Yeah! Cartoons, Random! Cartoons, Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!. In 2009 he launched Frederator's (and Nickelodeon's) first original television CG comedy, Fanboy and Chum Chum to record ratings; and in early 2010 he produced his company's first Cartoon Network's Adventure Time with Finn and Jake, had the highest rated comedy premiere in the network's history.

Internet Television & Video[link]

In addition to his Frederator duties, Seibert returned to MTV Networks in 1999, and was president of MTV Networks Online, president of the MTVi Group, and president of Nickelodeon Online. After the dot-com bubble burst, he returned to Frederator full-time in 2001.

In November 2005 Seibert launched his innovative online network, the world's first cartoon video podcast, which he calls Channel Frederator. Filmmakers submit animated films for weekly exhibition. In quick succession was 'The Wubbcast' for pre-schoolers (with Bolder Media, in January 2006) and 'ReFrederator' with vintage cartoons (April 2006).

Building on this new media success, in 2007 Seibert conceived and founded Next New Networks (with Emil Rensing, Herb Scannell, Tim Shey, and Jed Simmons),^[10] the leading online television company, with over 2 billion all time video views^[11] and over 200 million views every month (as of 2010). Along with their affiliated Indy Mogul, Barely Political (home of Obama Girl), Channel Frederator and several other networks, the company's superdistribution has allowed it to become among the most widely-distributed video in the world, and to become YouTube's top professional content provider. By the end of 2010, Next New Networks had the globe's top two videos viewed on YouTube.^[12] In March 2011, Next New Networks was acquired by YouTube.^[13][14][15]

Movies[link]

In June 2007, Fred Seibert founded Frederator Films to produced animated feature films.^[16] They are currently in pre-production on Genndy Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack with co-producer J.J. Abrams, and have set up their first two animated features in a first look production arrangement for Sony Pictures Animation.^[17]

Early career[link]

Seibert began his media career at Columbia University's WKCR-FM in 1969 as a board engineer and producer/host of world music, jazz and pop shows. He recorded the majority of the station's live jazz broadcasts which led to the formation of his independent blues and jazz label. Roots musician and producer Tom Pomposello and Seibert formed Oblivion Records in 1972 (with third partner Dick Pennington), producing releases by blues musicians Mississippi Fred McDowell (Live in New York), Johnny Woods, and Charles Walker (Blues from the Apple); and jazz musicians Joe Lee Wilson and Marc Cohen (now known as Marc Copland). He was a producer (and/or engineer) of over 30 jazz records (for independent labels like Muse Records and the Jazz Composer's Orchestra) between 1971 and 1978 by artists as diverse as Hank Jones, Cecil Taylor, Dom Salvador and Willis Jackson.

In 1977 and 1978 he was the road manager and sound engineer for tours with pianist/composer Carla Bley, before joining the innovative media executive Dale Pon at New York's WHN radio. Pon introduced Seibert to his WNBC Radio colleague Robert Pittman as Pittman was becoming an early cable television pioneer at the Warner Amex Satellite Company (WASEC), now named MTV Networks Siebert became the first creative director for the channel. Seibert was born in Manhattan, raised in Halesite, New York. He initially studied at Columbia University's College of Pharmaceutical Sciences 1969-1971, then minored in History at Columbia College, Columbia University, 1971-1973.
