Congratulations Mia Caple — Australia’s first World Champion at the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Finals in Pontevedra 🇪🇸
It really does take a team, and there’s a whole village of people behind an athlete’s success. Mia’s achievement is a reflection of the commitment, hard work and support of everyone around her.
Enjoy this moment Mia! 👏🏼

We have a Gold 🥇from Chloe in the 16 years 200 free and an Australian Record from Emma in the 17 years 200 free from the heats this morning. Poor Emma fell down the stairs this afternoon which has badly injured her ankle so no more swimming this Nationals. Emma wanted to swim against everyone’s wishes in the final but the dive proved to be just too painful. It just wasn’t meant to be this time. EMMA YOU STILL HAVE-THE RECORD!!
Not everyone gets to have that.
Proud of my athletes. We went with two athletes for today’s session and came away with an Australian record and Gold medal.

💥Freddie Attains 2 Personal Bests and 3 Medals Amidst Rain and Mud. 🏊♀️🌧️🏅
Also, touching the wall with two hands in breast stroke. Staying on his back and remembering his stroke count for backstroke and nailing his dive into his under-waters and break outs. The effort it has taken week in and week out to get to this point is what I think I am most proud of Freddie 💪🏼😉👍🏻

🤔 What matters here…
😃 What makes it even more special as how she did it. She trusted her preparation. She committed to her race plan. She executed under pressure.
💪🏼That is what’s this sport is about.
🙄 It’s never about the Coach. On every level, it should always be about the Athlete – their courage, their discipline, their belief in themselves when it matters most.
🙋🏼♀️ Alba, I am beyond proud of you. Not just for the record, but for the maturity you showed stepping up behind the blocks and owning your race from start to finish. You didn’t chase the time. You raced with purpose and that’s why the result came.
The future is bright🌟
