George Peasgood

George is a double Paralympic medallist having won silver in paratriathlon and bronze in paracycling at Tokyo 2020. He is also a double European medallist.

His triathlon journey started in 2009 and in 2011 he received classification to compete as a paratriathlete after taking part in a British Triathlon Talent ID Day. Two years later, aged just 17 years old, he finished third in the World Championships in London in his debut season as an elite paratriathlete.

He also won his first British Championships that year.

George started the 2016 season with a win in Australia but his only other podium that year came as he won a second British Championship. He also competed in the 2016 Rio Paralympic Games finishing seventh. He started the 2017 season with four straight podium finishes in ITU and ETU events before finishing fourth at the World Championships at the end of the season. His strongest season came in 2018 as he won back-to-back World Paratriathlon Series Events before winning a bronze medal at the World Championship in Australia.
