Always in the mix and capable of beating world champions, the sky is the limit for Vasco — the second youngest athlete on the team at 25 years of age.
2024 saw Vasco achieve his best finish in a World Triathlon Championship Series race with a silver in Hamburg. He backed up with a 5th-place finish in his debut Olympic Games in Paris.
At the age of 15 he moved by himself to train with legendary Swedish coach Joachim Willem, making good on a childhood desire to climb up triathlon’s elite ranks. He would soon gain his chance to race among the world’s best at the 2019 supertri race in Malta, finishing eighth. Despite limited racing the following year he capitalised on his opportunities, taking silver at the first edition of the Arena Games as well as becoming World Triathlon Vice Champion with a gutsy performance alongside the defending champion Vincent Luis.
Vasco is a massive signing for the team and its future as we look towards Los Angeles 2028.
