The Greg Bennett Show Ashleigh Gentle - Australian Olympic Triathlete - Ranked Number 1 in the world for most of 2023
Alright, today's guest is a legend in the world of Triathlon.. An Australian prodigy who made waves early in her career, clinching silver at the Junior World Championships in both 2007 and 2008. And then she struck gold at the junior world champs in Budapest in 2010 and went on to win her first ITU World Cup the following year. For the past decade, she's been a fixture at the pointy end of the sport, taking home titles like the World Triathlon Grand Final in 2018 right on home turf on the Gold Coast. She's a dual Olympian, representing Australia in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021, and she's won the holy grail of Australian Triathlon, The Noosa Multi-sport festival Triathlon 9 times… going for 10 in a couple of weeks.
Two years ago, she pivoted to middle-distance and crushed it. Out of five PTO Championships she’s won 3 and finished 2nd twice. Add to that she’s won or been on the podium nearly every race she’s started the past two years. An incredible transition up in distance. She’s been sitting at world number one for most of the year. Just this week, she slid to the second spot, but let's be honest, when you're at that altitude, it's all the same.
Off the track, she's no less remarkable. Recently married to Josh Amberger, another incredible triathlete who was just on the show a few weeks back, they are the power couple redefining relationship goals in the world of triathlon.
