Richard Kilty is a British track and field sprinter who competes in the 60 metres, 100 metres and 200 metres. His personal bests for the events are 6.49 seconds, 10.10 seconds and 20.34 seconds, respectively. Coached for several years by 1992 Olympic 100 m champion Linford Christie, Kilty switched to Rana Reider in late 2013, when the American coach was recruited by UK Athletics. He is the 2014 World Indoor 60m champion. He also holds numerous British national sprint titles, including UK junior 100m champion and two-time English Schools national 100 metres champion. On the British club-level, he represents Gateshead Harriers, which is the major track club in his native northeast England, in the region around the River Tees. During the 2012 Olympic year he had to suspend training twice because of a strained hamstring muscle- first in late February 2012 for a few weeks, and again in late June after the 200 meter Finals of the British National Championships. Nicknamed "The Teesside Tornado" he was ranked first in Great Britain over 200 m in the u23 age group in 2011, with a time of 20.53 seconds.
