Amanda Duke was incredibly instrumental in the development of Paratriathlon in the United States, and some could argue across the world. Amanda led the charge in putting Paratriathlon on the map as an elite sport, not just a participation event. In 2018, she brought a group of Paratriathletes to live and train full time out of the Olympic and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, and one year later was able to expand that program which allowed me to move to Colorado Springs and focus 100% on my development as an athlete. Under Amanda’s direction the USA Paratriathlon Program earned 9 Paralympic Games Medals across two Paralympic Games. Hear her side of the story and what she’s now doing.
