Interviewing Britain’s Sophie Coldwell for 220’s last issue [Pro Q&A] I asked about the importance of ‘getting on the wheel’ of Olympic champion Flora Duffy during the bike leg. “Or Taylor Knibb’s ,” was Coldwell’s rapid response.
It was a reminder that Knibb is making some impression at the senior level of this sport. Last year, aged 23, she became the youngest woman ever to qualify for the US Olympic tri team. Silver in the mixed relay followed, she set the fastest women’s time at the inaugural Collins Cup in Slovakia, and won the World Triathlon Grand Final in Edmonton.
