Today’s guest is the Super League Triathlete, Sophie Coldwell!


So for those who may not know Sophie yet, she is a young and talented British ITU Triathlete that has taken the triathlon scene by a storm in the recent years! With multiple prestigious results across the ITU and a crowd favourite in the Super League, Sophie is on the fast track to becoming a household name in the triathlon community!


To briefly cover her highlights over the last couple of years; in 2017 Sophie won her first global bronze medal in the U23 event at the ITU World Championships in Rotterdam, and a fourth-place finish on the ITU World Triathlon Series in Yokohama. She also finished second to Jess Learmonth at the 2017 ETU European standard distance championships.


Sophie represented Team England at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast and finished sixth. She went on to win the ETU European Sprint Triathlon Championships in Estonia in July.


This year notably she won gold at the Cagliari ITU Triathlon World Cup and was part of the British Mixed Relay team that won gold in Nottingham and silver in Edmonton. She hopes to continue this success into 2020 after achieving a top ten finish at the Tokyo ITU World Triathlon Olympic Qualification Event alongside Vicky Holland and Non Stanford.


In today’s exclusive Super League episode we talk to Sophie about the rules and formatting of the Super League, how the points are awarded, how athletes receive a colored jerseys, and she gives some great insight on her own experiences in the fast and dynamic super league and how us as age groupers can train and prepare for a super league race ourselves!
