31 | Saturday Series | TFL TALKS to Emma Jeffcoat

Hello & Happy Saturday! TFL is very excited to be back with another instalment of the Saturday Series.

Today we are speaking to triathlete, Emma Jeffcoat.

Emma is a former Surf Life Saver, who turned to international triathlons in 2015. Since then, she's had raging success. Emma was part of the team  who took home a Bronze Medal at the 2019 Hamburg ITU Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championships, and in 2021 she was crowned the Australian National Champion for the Elite Sprint Triathlon Championships held in Devonport. 

But on today's show, Emma is here to talk to us about her latest achievement as a member of the Tokyo 2020 Australian Olympic Team.

As you’ll hear throughout the episode, Emma competed in both the Women’s Individual Triathlon and the inaugural Mixed Team Relay. We discuss what it's like making your Olympic debut in a COVID year, handling a typhoon on race day and Emma’s life outside of sport, including her passion for Nursing.

Emma was a ray of sunshine to interview, so down-to earth and generous with her time! To keep up to date with her latest news, you can follow her on Instagram @emmajeffcoat. 

Enjoy the show!
