Beth Potter came from a swimming and running background, representing Great Britain at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the 10,000m track event.
Less than a year later, Beth made the switch to triathlon, moving to Leeds to train with the Brownlee brothers, from where she plotted her path to the top of the sport. A first World Cup podium on a tough Antwerp course in 2018 was followed by the European title a year later. Three golds and a silver in her next four World Cups cemented her place at the top table of the sport, a first WTCS podium coming in Montreal in 2022.
Then in 2023, Beth had the complete season. Starting with a win in Abu Dhabi and following with victories in Montreal and the Paris Test Event, it was at the Championship Finals Pontevedra that everything fell into place. An outstanding victory in Spain secured not only the 2023 world title, but a place on the starting list of Paris 2024, and a first shot at Olympic triathlon gold.
In 2024, Potter came away as a double Olympic medallist in Paris. First, she claimed the bronze medal in the women’s individual event. A few days later, she returned to add another bronze medal as part of the British Mixed Team Relay.
