PURE GRIT is AusTriathlon’s High Performance storytelling series, designed to take you inside the journey of our Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls on the runway to LA28 and Brisbane 2032. Showcasing extraordinary performances and the people inspiring the nation.
This series goes beyond start lists and podiums. It’s a chance to get to know the person behind the performance – what drives them, who inspires them, and what makes them tick when the pressure is on. The moments of doubt and belief. The sacrifices. The quiet confidence built far from the spotlight.
Each year, PURE GRIT will follow 10 athletes as they progress through their World Triathlon race calendar, sharing their results, milestones and defining moments across the season. From breakthrough performances to hard‑earned lessons, we’ll tell their stories as they unfold.
Meet the athletes of PURE GRIT 2026. Each representing Australia on the world stage across the World Triathlon circuit, all on their own journey towards their dream of representing Australia at the LA28 and Brisbane 2032 games.
Competing at the highest level, these athletes are chasing points, performances and breakthrough moments, while navigating the pressures, setbacks and sacrifices that come with elite sport. From emerging talent to proven performers, each story offers a unique insight into what it takes to prepare, compete and succeed. Across the year, we’ll release episodes following each of these athletes as their seasons unfold, building towards the World Triathlon and World Triathlon Para Championship Finals in Spain this September – capturing the moments that define them on and off the start line.
All World Triathlon Championship Series and World Cup races will be streamed live on TriathlonLive TV.
