The World Triathlon Podcast

It's a South American double header as we catch up with the legendary Barbara Riveros and breakthrough star Diego Moya, two Chilean triathletes with Tokyo Olympic ambitions of a different kind.

Life, Death & Triathlon. In a coaching special, we talk to Emma Carney, the Australian legend who in 1994 came from nowhere to become World Champion in her first race, going on to take the sport by storm until cardiac arrest forced her off the start lists for good. Her triathlon journey had plenty still to give, though, and after a stint in the commentary box and a recent auto-biography, she is now coaching her namesake Emma Hogan to help the 20-year-old realise her Olympic dreams.

After an outstanding 2019 saw him top the WTS podium for the first time in Leeds and then again in Hamburg, Jake Birtwhistle had to put racing on hold in 2020. Now he is plotting a course to Tokyo after being the first Australian to receive a discretionary spot, pending quota, on the men's Olympic Triathlon team. World Triathlon podcast now featured here -> blog.feedspot.com/triathlon_podcasts/

This week we are joined by the inspiring former World Triathlon Champion, USAT Hall-of-Famer, coach, author and motivational speaker, Siri Lindley.

After winning 2016 Junior World Championship silver in Cozumel, Germany's Lisa Tertsch left the World Triathlon circuit and headed to Harvard to study Economics and Biology. Incredibly in her first race back in 2019, she won gold at the Antwerp World Cup with a blistering run, and has since set her sights on the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

New Zealand's Ryan Sissons took the difficult decision to retire from triathlon following the postponement of Tokyo 2020, but after two Olympic appearances, two World Cup wins and a never less than eye-catching career, there's plenty of stories and memories for one of the most outspoken of triathletes to chew over with us before he says goodbye.

Three-time Para Triathlon World Champion Lauren Steadman was back to racing in style with gold in Portugal's Alhandra World Cup in October.
