Lucy Hall, also known as, Lucy Buckingham, is a professional triathlete primarily focusing on the Olympic and half ironman distance. We’re hoping to see her attempt the Ironman distance someday!
Lucy hall is primarily known for its incredibly fast swim times and strong biking skills. As she says herself: “A lot of people would say my swim is my strength. But I think my strength is the combination of swim and bike.”
As of 2022, she is ranked nr. 23 in the world by the professional triathletes Organization. Lucy says that her ultimate goal in triathlon is: “I think the pinnacle of my sporting career would be to represent and win an Olympic gold medal for my country. But to win at a world championship would be amazing.”
Lucy recently made a strong comeback into the triathlon scene following her Olympic participation. There were no significant positions from 2013 to 2020, but in the year 2021, she took to the podium eight times! Three wins, three second places, and two third places. All incredible performances.
She was also the youngest member of the British triathlon team for London 2012, where he placed 33.

All and all, an excellent year for Lucy Hall Triathlon was. She recently told tri247: “It’s been one of my most consistent seasons in terms of my results and reflecting where I am with my training. I’m progressing well in training, happy with the way sessions have gone, which has been reflected in races, which is really cool.”
In another interview, she even told tri247 that she considered quitting her triathlon career. We’re glad she didn’t! “Definitely. Last year was a tough year for me. I genuinely considered quitting and retiring from the sport. It was a real tough year with the pandemic, financials, and things like that, as it was with a lot of athletes.”
Luckily we’ll stell so much more to Lucy in the 2022 season. Se says:
