2020 Ironman Asia Pacific Champion

Amelia Watkinson is the 2020 Ironman Asia Pacific champion and 16-time middle distance triathlon champion.

Already a prolific age-group athlete while completing her studies in Auckland University, she turned pro in late 2014 after becoming the national middle distance champion. A 4th place in her debut at the 2019 Ironman Germany and a win at the Ironman Asia Pacific Championship in Cairns the following year show a great appetite for the challenge the full distance poses.

Amelia jumps at opportunity where others shy away. It’s that courage to take risks that has taken her from capable age grouper all the way to challenging the best in the world.
