New! Triathlon Canada’s Alumni Program
Calling all Triathlon Canada Alumni! Reconnect with former teammates. Stay involved. Keep up with events. Give back to the sport you love.
Triathlon Canada’s Alumni program unites former Team Canada athletes, both elite and age group. Few National Teams encompass elite athletes striving for the Olympic/Paralympic podium as well as amateur athletes aged 16 to 70+. But, our goal is to connect everyone who has competed for Canada over the years. Plus, we’ll link in the dedicated fans and supporters who cheered you on. Our goal is to keep athletes connected to triathlon and engaged in the development of our sport for future generations.
Reconnect today with an awesome community of Canadian role models.
Stay connected. Sign up for updates on Triathlon Canada Alumni activity here.

Triathlon Canada has an incredible legacy and history in our sport.
Canada has been at the forefront of the sport of triathlon with our athletic performances from the early days in the 80s and 90s. The path of excellence was blazed by Carol Montgomery, Patricia and Sylviane Puntous, Peter Reid and Lori Bowden, just to name a few – athletes who inspired countless triathletes with their world championship performances.
Those trailblazers laid the foundation for Simon Whitfield’s nation-moving gold-medal performance when the sport made its debut at the 2000 Olympic Summer Games in Sydney, Australia. Triathlon Canada never looked back from that historic day, which ultimately cemented us as a premiere triathlon nation on the international scene.
Inspired by all of the greats before us to swim, bike and run, the Triathlon Canada Nation has since developed and produced countless memorable performances by triathletes of all ages in a variety of race distances.
From Paula Findlay winning an unprecedented five World Triathlon Series titles to Kirsten Sweetland running into the history books as only the second Canadian ever to reach the World Triathlon Championship Series podium and third ever to win a medal at the Commonwealth Games, many of our women have also written their names into the history books including Joanna Brown who was a bronze medallist at the Under-23 World Championships and Junior World Championships and was just the fourth Canadian ever to win a Commonwealth Games medal when she won the bronze in 2018. In 2019, she became just the third Canadian ever to podium on the World Triathlon Series, winning the bronze in Berumda.
Simon Whitfield aside, the performances by our men have been equally remarkable, led by Stefan Daniel’s Paralympic silver and bronze medals along with his six Para-triathlon World Championship titles.
Stefan Daniel is part of a contingent of Canadian triathletes who are now carrying the torch into a new era for the sport in Canada. Daniel has brought along a strong contingent of para-triathletes to the international podium including: Paralympic bronze medallist at Paris 2024, Leanne Taylor.
Inspired by Simon Whitfield, Paula Findlay, Kirsten Sweetland and a community of other great Canadian athletes, Tyler Mislawchuk is leading the charge for a new generation of men and women in the Olympic pathway on the road to LA 2028 and beyond.
Canada’s long-distance athletes are also capturing the world’s attention while solidifying their place on top of the international podiums. Lionel Sanders have both cracked unprecedented sub-8-hour marks in the Ironman distance, and Paul Findlay has now transitioned into 70.3 racing where she is amongst the world’s elite, regularly breaking the finish tape internationally.
Regardless of the distance, Canada’s triathletes continue to inspire a nation through swim, bike and run and their ability to charge onto podiums around the world.
