About this episode
The newly crowned European Sprint Triathlon Champion, Belgium's Jolien Vermeylen is one of the sport's great characters, and heads to Istanbul at the end of August chasing a huge continental double with the Olympic Distance title.
On episode 105, the 31-year-old opens up about having her post-Paris 2024 words twisted and the pain of a resulting social media pile-on, putting her 70.3 ambitions on hold to chase a career-best Series ranking in 2025 and soaking in the arc of taking up the sport after reading the Brownlee book on holiday in Corfu and then winning supertri gold for Brownlee Racing in Toronto a decade later.
"You can read subtitles on my face. If I like something I show it and if I don’t you’ll know it. But maybe for racing I need it!"
