Lucy Charles Biography

Lucy Charles is one of the most popular and richest Triathlete who was born on September 15, 1993 in England, United Kingdom. Triathlete and professional triathlete, who has competed in many Ironman championships. She is also a coach at Pulse Triathlon.

She is well-known for her victory over Keri Anne Payne in the open water trials of the Great North Swim competition.

Charles was born north of London, England. When Charles was 8 years old, she started with swimming. A year later she was beating kids that were three or four years older than her. She was the one convincing her coaches to let her compete in events like the 200-meter butterfly, which was the toughest competition there was. With the age of 16 she was national champion. In 2010, there was a test event where Charles competed in and finished as the top competitor from Britain in 16th place. She was only 17 years old at the time and it was her first ever 10K swim. In 2011, Charles figured there would be an even harder event for her to compete in. That year, the Olympic Games 2012 were hosted in London, and the 10K open-water swim, which can be seen as the marathon in swimming, was part of it for the second time.

For the 2012 Olympics, Charles’ biggest competitior was Keri-Anne Payne, who had already won an Olympic silver medal at the open water debut in 2008. Although Charles was doing really well on the build up towards the Olympics it wasn’t enough to be selected. Britain had only one slot, which went to Payne. Charles who was still a teenager at the time was so devastated, that at some point in 2013 she lost the motivation to only keep swimming for the next Olympic opportunity in 2016.

She was born in Hoddesdon, but she later moved to London, where she was raised.
