Jelle Geens
2x IRONMAN 70.3® World Champion
Jelle has recently transitioned from Olympic distance triathlon to middle, and plans to move up to full distance in the future.
Jelle has competed at three Olympic Games and is the first, and still only, Belgian athlete to win a WTCS race. In 2024, Jelle won the IRONMAN 70.3® World Championships in Taupo, New Zealand, and he followed that up by successfully defending his title with victory at the Precision Fuel & Hydration IRONMAN 70.3® World Championship in Marbella in 2025, coming out on top in an epic sprint finish with Kristian Blummenfelt.
Jelle is looking forward to working together with Precision Fuel & Hydration as he refines his fuel and hydration strategy for middle-distance racing, with a view to taking on a full IRONMAN® in the near future.
Precision Fuel & Hydration and their science team has made me understand my body's energy needs during a triathlon. Their products make sure I never 'bonk' during a race or training.

Jelle's Top Tips
- It's very important to test out your race nutrition before race day to make sure it's fully dialled in
- Get a Sweat Test so you can work out how much sodium you should be consuming during races
- Do some heat training if you're going to be racing in hot conditions
