Noosa Triathlon: Hauser Headlines, Gentle Out
Ashleigh Gentle, a 10-time consecutive winner, will miss the Noosa Triathlon to focus on her T100 title push.
World champion Matthew Hauser will headline the event, which will be his first major competition after winning gold in Wollongong.
- Gentle has won 11 of the past 12 Noosa Triathlons, but a schedule change has forced her to prioritize other events.
- Hauser, 27, will compete in the 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km run at the 42nd Noosa Triathlon.
Gentle's absence marks the end of her decade-long dominance at the Noosa Triathlon.
