We’ve already had the pleasure of introducing some elite squads from the worlds of acting, exploration, and surfing, and I’m particularly excited about the Triathlon Squad. We have already chosen an amazing mission for them and they’ll have the chance to do well while doing good.”

The Triathlon squad includes, German triathlete and the first triathlete – male or female – to win both the Olympic triathlon gold medal and the Ironman World Championship title – Jan Frodeno. Next up, we have, Chris “Macca” McCormack, an Australian triathlete who distinguished himself with two Ironman World Championship titles (2007 and 2010) and wins in the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Cup Series, Olympic Distance World Championships, and Long Distance Triathlon World Championships. The third and final squad member is Daniela Ryf. One of the world’s most successful and celebrated triathletes, Ryf won the Ironman World Championship in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in 2014, 2015, and 2017.
