The triathlon journey of Kat Matthews from somewhat obscurity to history maker is nothing short of remarkable.
A British Army physio, Kat's characteristics and work ethic soon flourished when she decided to take up triathlon. With the support of her husband Mark, Kat started to work her way up through the ranks of the professional field and by the start of 2022 she had quickly been established as 'one to watch' at the very highest level.
The 2022 season started with a bang, winning in Lanzarote before a second place finish at the Ironman World Championship in St George. However, a late call up to the unique Sub8 project highlighted just how far she could go, beating one of the greatest triathletes of all-time, Nicola Spirig, to become the first ever woman to finish a full distance triathlon in under eight hours.
As she prepared for another tilt at the Ironman World Championship, this time in Kona, Hawaii, Kat's life was turned upside down in the blink of an eye one September day whilst out training on her bike.
This is the first episode of 'Crushed: The Kat Matthews Story' - a series that defines the incredible determination of all professional triathletes in a sport that is truly the ultimate test of endurance.

Thank you Kat for sharing your story here! I hope your camp goes well, and I'm looking forward to your return to racing.

Nice story. Kat has determination and charming. Hopefully she will fully recover from the car accident. When she was chosen for the Phoenix Sub8 project, the triathlon community had some doubts, but her performance putted the hammer down. She has that low profile character that creates confidence on her from coaches, colleagues, sponsors and fans in the highs and lows from this sport live.

First of all thank you Kat for sharing your story! @PTO I dislike the Video, the music is often way too loud (impossible to understand for non native speakers) why wouldn't you include a note when ep.2 will be released and stop the video like that?

Crazy what triathletes can do to monetize their image.

Terrible way to end this otherwise good episode. Cheapens the whole storytelling for me. Not cool to watch her listen to the 911 call - yes even if she agreed.
