Recent Updates
In 2018, she finished third in IRONMAN Austria, a promising start to her full-distance racing career. However, due to her knee difficulties, she competed even more remarkably.
Before the London 2012 Olympics, Emma had barely lost out on the spot in the Beijing Olympic team in 2008. But she was forced to withdraw from the 5,000m Olympic trials due to a knee injury, her latest setback.
Because she liked the cross-training element, her running coach pushed her to enter the London Triathlon while recovering. She had never ridden a road bike before, but her inspirational coach, who has been an important influence since then, assisted her in catching up quickly.
It wasn’t long before her coach pushed her to try the sport; by this time, her injury issues had primarily gone away, and she gave up work to pursue a full-time pro career. She first made a name for herself on the ITU circuit when she raced in sprint triathlons.
She struggled through a difficult start to her 70.3 Brazil race, and she was on track for victory until she fell ill with 1 kilometer left and a five-minute lead. Following the setback, they enjoyed a surge of success. It was an excellent year for her, who retained her World Duathlon Championship while winning six short distance events.
The 70.3 World Championship in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she finished second behind Ryf, was her best finish yet in 2017. She won gold in the ITU Aquathlon World Championships in Penticton, Canada.
A successful 2018 saw Emma triumph in many 70.3 races, including those in Barcelona, Dun Laoghaire, and Staffordshire (UK). With a third-place result in Austria, she became the first woman from the United States to complete an entire IRONMAN triathlon.
In 2021, Emma triumphed in IRONMAN 70.3 Boulder before the Collins Cup, which looks even better than it did at the time.
