Andrea Hannos


Andrea Hannos is a former Canadian professional road and track racing cyclist who first entered sport in track and field, specializing in the long and triple jump. She attended high school at Little Flower Academy in Vancouver, BC, and graduated in 1991 after winning the triple jump event at the BC High School Track & Field Championships. She then went on to compete in track and field for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds while earning a Bachelor of Science in Cell Biology. Later, as a collegiate cyclist, she attended Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas, obtaining a Master of Science degree in biology.
Hannos first raced her bike in 1996 and a year later was selected for the 1997 Tour Cycliste Féminin, the women's version of the Tour de France. She represented Canada at the 1998 XVI Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and has several career wins including gold in the criterium at the 2002 Canadian National Road Cycling Championships—one of ten career Canadian national championship medals.
Coached by her father, Sandor Hannos, an accomplished cyclist originally from Hungary, Hannos often trained and raced with her younger sister, Stephanie. Both sisters rode for the American cycling team, Verizon Wireless, in 2001.
Hannos retired from professional cycling at the end of 2004 after racing three seasons for the UCI team Équipe Cycliste RONA from Québec. In 2011, she helped manage the Vancouver-based Trek Red Truck p/b Mosaic Homes Women's Cycling Team alongside mountain bike cross country Olympic silver medalist, Alison Sydor.
