Hayden Wilde's Fast Track to Taupō | EP 1

An Olympic Medalist. A Taupō native. A 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship Qualifier.
Hayden Wilde is a rising star in the world of professional Olympic distance triathlon, known for his incredible athleticism and charismatic personality. Born in Taupō, home of IRONMAN in New Zealand and host of the 2024 VinFast IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship, Hayden is a true kiwi. Now he’s after a spot on the start line at a home World Champs.
Starting out in triathlon after being inspired by the 2016 Olympics, Hayden quickly rose through the ranks, with his impressive bike and run ability quickly placing him amongst the worlds best, culminating with an Olympic Bronze Medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
With his focus still on the top step of the dais in Paris next year, Hayden’s already got one eye on another prestigious medal - one that he can fight for right at home. With a World Champs in his backyard, the opportunity to step up in distance and compete for a world title is too hard to pass up.
We follow Hayden as he toes the start line at the 2023 IRONMAN 70.3 Melbourne, racing in only his second ever IRONMAN 70.3, and his attempt to earn his slot and qualify for 2024.
This is his journey to race the world at home. This is Hayden Wilde’s Fast Track to Taupō.

[@rontan4566]

This young bloke is a rock star. I'm on the bandwagon after seeing what he did at Noosa.

[@Jeaglelol]

Olympic gold + 70.3 world champion is actually very possible for him as a 2024 double! 😃

[@leslie7922]

[@Annasvbjue_]

[@thedailytri]

Amazing video!

[@yesitis1395]

That run speed, even in the video - I'm thinking, 'oh, THAT'S why I didn't win.' That swim/bike only warmed him up. Sheesh.
