Vicky Holland is ready for the “pain” of Super League Triathlon

After an epic race at the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Gold Coast, Great Britain’s Vicky Holland became the 2018 ITU World Triathlon Champion.

12 months ago she was in Jersey for Super League Triathlon – but due to injury, in the role of presenter and commentator. This time around she is here and ready to race after a fantastic 2018 season.

I spoke to victory this morning about her season, that Grand Final battle with Katie Zaferes, the additional demands of a World Champion and what she’s looking forward to this weekend.

Watch the full interview above – and get in the mood for the weekend with the highlights reel from 2017 below.
