Helen Jenkins - The Comeback Queen

WITSUP women in triathlon

We catch up with two time world champ, three time Olympian, and British legend Helen Jenkins about where she’s at in life and sport following the chaos that was 2020. We are inspired by this athlete, mother, and all round incredible woman. We chat all things from the pros and cons of social media to parenting in a pandemic. Plus, dealing with the pressure of being the gold medal favourite at the London Olympics in 2012, her reflections on that day and whether she will ever show her kids the race footage that she has never watched herself. The journey of Helen Jenkins is nothing short of inspiring. She’s come back from having two children and a spinal fusion surgery to return to racing for the joy of it. But, for Helen, the joy of it still results in some extremely quick results. “One of my biggest drivers is having my kids see me race.” "It was never other peoples’ expectations because if I let all that get on top of me I never would have made it to the start line.” Photo by Delly Carr | ITU Media Follow Helen: https://www.instagram.com/heljinx/ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SUPPORT WITSUP: Become a Witsup member - www.patreon.com/witsup
