Callum Saunders (born 16 October 1995) is a New Zealand track cyclist, who competes in sprinting events. He competed in the team sprint for the 7th/8th place final at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[2][3][4] He is considered to be a pioneer of the shaved head, or "dome" haircut, in pursuit of improved aerodynamics. Studies into the aerodynamic gain of this style are ongoing.[5]
