Jan Bos (born 29 March 1975) is a Dutch former speedskater and sprint cyclist. In the late 1990s he was world champion in speed skating and he competed in the 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics.
Speed skater
In 1998 Bos both became the world champion sprint and won the silver medal that year in the 1000 meter sprint during the Winter Olympics in Nagano. He won the silver medal on that same distance in Salt Lake City.
He competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens in the team sprint track cycling event, together with his brother Theo Bos, who won the silver at the individual sprint, and Teun Mulder. The Dutch finished sixth after being knocked out by Japan.
Bos ended his career as a competitive speed skater in 2011.
Cyclist
In 2012 Bos (in cooperation with the Human Power Team from Delft) tried to become the fastest cyclist in the world during the World Human Powered Speed Challenge in Battle Mountain, Nevada. At the time, the International Human Powered Vehicle Association record was 133 km/h, held by the Canadian Sam Whittingham.{{cite web |title=Home IHPVA |url=http://www.ihpva.org/home/ |publisher=International Human Powered Vehicle Association |access-date=26 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120209200511/http://www.ihpva.org/home/ |archive-date=9 February 2012 |url-status=live }} Bos used a recumbent bicycle specially developed for the occasion by students of the Delft University of Technology and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, but only managed a maximum speed of 126.5 km/h. In September 2013, his teammate Sebastiaan Bowier did manage to break the record, reaching a speed of 133.78 kilometres per hour (83.13 mph){{cite web |title=Sebastiaan Bowier sets new human-powered vehicle record in Nevada |date=18 September 2013 |url=http://road.cc/content/news/94198-sebastien-bowier-sets-new-human-powered-vehicle-record-nevada |access-date=2016-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819163829/http://road.cc/content/news/94198-sebastien-bowier-sets-new-human-powered-vehicle-record-nevada |archive-date=2016-08-19 |url-status=live }}
