Gwen Jorgenson Biography

At the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics Gwen made history when she became the first American to win an Olympic Gold Medal in the sport of triathlon. Gwen’s dominance of the sport and her inspiring performances have captivated fans around the world. She helped evolve the international presence of Olympic distance triathlon and position the event as one of the most anticipated races of the Rio Olympics. Gwen continues to redefine herself within the endurance sports arena and what it means to be a successful female athlete.
At the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago Gwen clinched her 2nd straight world championship title by securing the NO. 1 ranking. She is the only U.S. Woman to win back-to-back world titles in triathlon (2014 2015) and the first triathlete – male or female to complete an undefeated season (2015). Gwen finished the 2016 ITU season ranked 2nd overall. Gwen was undefeated between May 2014 and April 2016 earning 12 consecutive ITU World Triathlon Series wins and a total of 17 ITU WTS event victories leading up to the Rio Olympics.
In 2014 Gwen capped a record-breaking season as the only woman in ITU World Triathlon Series history to win 8 career series events and 5 in one season. She posted the fastest run split of the field in every 2014 WTS event in which she competed – a dramatic statistic that has continued since. Gwen competed at the London 2012 Olympics where she finished a disappointing 38th place due to a bike mechanical.
