Two Olympic icons together in paradise Posted by Hamilton Island - 8 November 2024 We are excited to announce Luke Wilian as our 2024 #HamiltonIsland Triathlon ambassador, and to welcome back Susie O'Neill as our 2024 Hamilton Island Ocean Swim ambassador. Triathlon - Luke Willian Fresh from his return from the Paris Olympics as a member of the Australian Olympic Triathlon team, Luke has firmly established himself as one of Australia’s top triathletes and currently holds an impressive world ranking of 6th. With a 3rd-place finish at the Noosa Triathlon just last weekend, Luke is poised and ready to tackle the stunning—and challenging—Whitsunday terrain. Ocean Swim – Susie O’Neill AM (Madame Butterfly) With multiple Olympic gold medals and a record-breaking 35 Australian titles—the most ever achieved by an Australian—Susie O’Neill AM is a true legend of the sport and a cherished friend of Hamilton Island. Always generous with her time, Susie is known for her willingness to compete, present, pose for photos, and share tips with fellow swimmers. This marks her 15th year joining the Hamilton Island Triathlon and Ocean Swim and we are thrilled to welcome her back to inspire us with her wealth of experience and passion for the sport. About the Author Part of the Whitsundays, and in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island is one of Australia’s most spectacular and sought-after holiday destinations. On a holiday to Hamilton Island, you'll be surrounded by pristine white beaches, and a kaleidoscope of coral and marine life.
