ASHLEIGH GENTLE | The Aussie triathlete with the world at her feet

  • Summary

  • In this episode of our Olympic season of the podcast, we’re chatting with Australian triathlete and Rio Olympian, Ashleigh Gentle.

    Gentle grew up in South-East Queensland and spent her life playing sport. Whether it was at the beach or cricket with her brothers, she was always being active.

    Eventually, a career in triathlon fell into place. She started in the sport as a way to improve her running but once the cycling and swimming followed, it was a natural progression.

    She has a gold medal at both the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships to her name. She also has multiple ITU and WTS titles and don’t forget about her incredible stranglehold over the Noosa Triathlon!

    Now Gentle is preparing for her second Olympics in Tokyo in July. It’s a chance for her to improve on her performance in Rio and really make her mark on the world stage and hopefully come home with a medal.

    In this chat, Gentle talks about how her love for the sport started, some of the incredible opportunities she has received as a result of being a triathlete and just what sort of impact the covid-19 pandemic had on her preparation for the Olympic games.
