Gwen Jorgensen

Gwen Jorgensen intends to win the Rio 2016 Olympic triathlon—an event no US athlete, man or woman, has ever won. Gwen is a stubborn perfectionist, driven to excel. Combining natural ability, organization, and discipline, she chases this goal with passion. In Gwen Jorgensen: USA's First Olympic Gold Medal Triathlete, take a front-row seat at the Rio 2016 Olympics and watch Gwen as she battles the ocean, careens down dangerous hills on her bike, and runs to victory. Interspersed throughout is her tale of transformation from child swimmer to university runner and eventually Olympic triathlete. It is a story of disappointment, failure, change, growth, and accomplishment. This book explores themes of personal discovery, risk-taking, goal-setting, and team-building and is sure to inspire everyone to reach for their own dreams.
