Georgia showed huge potential as a junior, winning European and World medals as well as athletics podiums. She persevered through years of injury to make her senior breakthrough in a major way in 2018 with ITU World Triathlon Series overall third place. Georgia’s highlights include securing gold at both the AJ Bell World Triathlon Leeds, and the Accenture World Triathlon Mixed Relay Series Nottingham in the same month. She also ended 2019 with a bronze medal at the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Lausanne.
Georgia was brought up by an athletic family. Her dad, Darryl Taylor, represented England for 800m on the track with a best time of 1min 48secs. Her mum swam at national level and ran for Sale Harriers.
She has been swimming since she was five and started running when she was 12 and was selected to run for her school. Not wanting to choose between the sports, focused on triathlon and had a successful trial with the British Triathlon Olympic Development Squad. Originally from Manchester, she moved to Leeds in 2012 to study for a degree in Sports and Exercise Science at Leeds Beckett University.
