Meet Taylor
Taylor Knibb stands as one of the most remarkable talents in the world of triathlon, combining youth with unprecedented achievement. Born on February 14, 1998, in Washington D.C., Knibb's journey into triathlon began at age 11, inspired by watching her mother Leslie compete in an Ironman race – a moment that would set the course for her extraordinary career.
Athletic Achievements
Knibb's rise in triathlon has been nothing short of meteoric. She made history as the youngest woman ever to qualify for the U.S. Olympic triathlon team, securing her spot at age 23 for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, where she claimed a silver medal in the mixed relay event. Her early career was marked by consecutive Junior World Championship titles in 2016 and 2017, followed by the U23 World Championship in 2018.

Now based in Boulder, Colorado, and coached by Dan Lorang, Knibb has established herself as the #1 ranked cyclist in triathlon according to the PTO. Her training regime balances the demands of both short-course Olympic distance triathlons and longer 70.3 distance races, demonstrating her remarkable adaptability and endurance capabilities. Her exceptional cycling ability has led to a unique achievement: qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympics in both triathlon and cycling (time trial), showcasing her versatility as an endurance athlete.

"I'm always pushing to see what my limits are. The opportunity to compete in both triathlon and cycling at the Olympics is a dream, and I'm motivated to make the most of it."
