Marc Austin

Marc was Team Scotland's first medallist of the Gold Coast 2018 Games, taking bronze with a magnificent performance in the Individual event. He held off the challenge of several top names including World and Olympic medallists Alister and Jonathan Brownlee, learning from the experience of Glasgow 2014 where he was part of a three-man breakaway with the Brownlee brothers but was eventually dropped.

Silver medallist at both the U23 and Junior World Championships, Marc’s first passion was running and he took up swimming to boost his fitness. From there he entered the Stirling Aquathlon at the age of 11, finishing in second position he then turned his attention to Triathlon.
