Alistair is the 2009 World Triathlon Champion and one of GB’s strongest medal hopes for London 2012.

Alistair used to swim and run as a youngster and was introduced to triathlon by his Uncle.  National, European and World titles were won at Junior level as well as being a straight A student.  He was accepted into Cambridge to study Medicine and completed one term before realising he wanted to be Olympic Champion, and that he could follow in his Mum and Dad’s footsteps and become a Doctor after his sporting career.

It was a decision that rewarded him immediately.  He qualified for Beijing with a 3rd place finish at the Madrid ITU World Cup, and was also crowned U23 World Champion in 2008.  At the Beijing Olympics his ballsy front running earned many plaudits (and unsettled a few of his rivals), though he struggled in the last 2km to finish a creditable 12th place.

Another winter under his belt, whilst completing his degree at Leeds University (2.1), has paid dividends.  He has dominated the Triathlon World Championship Series with an unprecedented 5 victories from 5 races (Madrid, Washington DC, Kitzbuhel, London, Gold Coast) to be crowned World Champion at just 21 years old.
