Episode 348 of The Physical Performance Show is a Featured Performer Edition featuring Non Stanford, World and European Triathlon Champion.
Non Stanford was the 2013 World Triathlon Series Champion and in 2022 just months before her final professional race, she became the European Triathlon Champion. Two weeks prior, Non picked up a silver medal representing Wales in the mixed team triathlon at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Across Non’s professional triathlon career she has been a 13x medalist on the World Triathlon Series Circuit taking line honours in World Triathlon Series races such as Hamburg, London, and Madrid.
Non is transitioning into an assistant coaching role with British Triathlon at the Leeds Triathlon Centre, you’d be hard pressed to find a more affable, generous and better ambassador for sport and all that it brings.
