Annette Edmondson (born 12 December 1991) is an Australian cyclist who competes on the track with Cycling Australia's High Performance Unit (HPU) and on the road for the professional women's team Wiggle High5.
Her greatest successes to date are her results at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where she claimed a silver in the Individual Pursuit and a gold in the Scratch Race, which is her first ever gold medal at an international level and her first time being Commonwealth Champion. In addition, she has competed at the National Track Championships with gold medal results at an elite level since 2012 in multiple disciplines. In addition, she also has competed at international events, representing in Australia at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, where she has secured silver medals in the Omnium (2012), Team pursuit (2012 & 2013).
Edmondson has also competed in the London 2012 Olympics, securing a bronze medal for Australia in the women's Omnium and finished in fourth place in the Team pursuit.
Edmondson was born in Adelaide, but due to her parents' careers at Royal Dutch Shell, she spent the early part of her childhood living in Malaysia, Oman and the Netherlands. However, when she was six, the family returned to her father's native land of Australia.
She attended the Victor Harbor Primary School, south of Adelaide, South Australia, later moving to St John's Grammar School in the Adelaide Hills where she took up numerous pursuits, including soccer and athletics.
When she was 13, the South Australian Sports Institute visited her school and she was identified as having the physical attributes to have a potential career in cycling. After a year in the Talent Search Program, her first major win came at the 2006 National Junior Track Championships where she won two bronze medals in the Under 17 500m Time Trial and Sprint. From that point, she began to specialise in sprint cycling and as a junior won sprint events at a National and Oceania level.
