MEET THE ATHLETES: Three Olympic medallists confirmed for Supertri Jersey

Islanders will be able to watch three Olympic medallists compete in Jersey next month as part of the Super League Triathlon.

Olympic triathletes Jonathan Brownlee, Georgia Taylor Brown and Cassandre Beaugrand will race in Jersey on Sunday 21 September.

Jonathan Brownlee

Three-time Olympic medallist Jonathan Brownlee has established himself as British triathlon royalty alongside his older brother, Alistair.

The younger Brownlee achieved a bronze medal in the London 2012 Olympics, won silver in Rio 2016, and took home a gold medal from Tokyo 2020 as part of the mixed relay team – which also included fellow Supertri competitor Georgia Taylor-Brown.

Georgia Taylor-Brown

Georgia Taylor-Brown is the most decorated athlete in Supertri history and a three-time Supertri champion.

Despite suffering some major injuries during her career as a triathlete, she has battled to become British Champion, World Champion, Commonwealth Champion and Olympic Champion as part of the mixed relay team alongside Brownlee.

Taylor-Brown also achieved a silver medal in the individual women’s triathlon at the Tokyo Olympics, despite getting a flat tyre during the race.

She said that Jersey was a “big reason” why she came back to Supertri this year.

Cassandre Beaugrand

Cassandre Beaugrand is the reigning Olympic champion in the women’s individual triathlon, and she became a star in France after winning gold in her hometown of Paris in 2024.

The 28-year-old also took home bronze in the mixed relay event in Tokyo 2020.

Beaugrand is the only female triathlete – and the second ever after Alistair Brownlee – to have won a gold medal in the three major competitions: the Olympic Games, World Championships, and European Championships.

Supertri CEO Michael D’hulst said: “Triathlon here is more than a race, it totally brings the island to life.

“With routes that embrace marina views and tight turns, Jersey is the perfect backdrop for Supertri and ideal for athletes and spectators looking for fast-paced action and a fun race atmosphere.”
