Nicola Spirig from Switzerland was born on February 7, 1982, one day after the classic race in Kona where Kathleen McCartney won the Ironman while Julie Moss crawled to the finish and immortality. Obviously destined to be a triathlete, Nicola started in the sport at the age of 10 and made her first Olympic Team in 2004 in Athens. In this wide-ranging interview we cover her three Olympic appearances, her sprint finish with Lisa Norden for the Gold in 2012 in London, her Ironman Cozumel win in 2015, and her long-time coaching relationship with Brett Sutton.
