Peter Homann

Peter David Homann, OAM (born 16 February 1960) is a former Australian Paralympic cyclist. He has won seven medals at three Games from 1996 to 2004.

Personal Homann was born with cerebral palsy on 16 February 1960 in the Victorian town of Yallourn.

He moved to Melbourne to finish high school and university, and later lived in the United Kingdom for four years, where he took up cycling recreationally. He continued cycling when he moved back to Australia, and was interested in the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. At the 1998 world championships, he broke two world records in the 3,000 m individual pursuit and kilometre time trial, and won the road race.

At the 2004 Athens Games in the Men's Team Sprint LC1-4/CP 3/4 event, cycling team captain Christopher Scott relinquished his place in the team in the finals so that Homann could get a chance to win a gold medal at his last Paralympics; the Australian team won the event so he received the gold medal along with Scott and the rest of the team. In a 2008 interview, Scott said of this action: "I already had my gold medal. It's what you do in a team. Peter deserved his chance on the podium." Homann also won two silver medals in the Men's Road Race / Time Trial Bicycle CP Div 4 and Men's Individual Pursuit Bicycle CP Div 4 events at the 2004 Games. He was an Australian Institute of Sport scholarship holder in 1997 and 1999.
