Corus Ambassadors

Corus has made special awards to three up and coming triathletes – Will Clarke, Helen Tucker and Rosie Clarke. They have been identified as potential medal contenders at the Beijing Olympics and beyond. In addition, Corus has also selected two junior triathletes Hollie Avil and Jonathan Brownlee to join the senior ambassadors.

Corus has pledged to support both Hollie and Jonathan in ‘Britain’s Olympic Ambition Programme’ enabling them to experience the Beijing Olympics if they are selected.

The Corus Ambassadors will also be competing in the Corus Elite Series events across the UK.

In addition the Corus Ambassadors lead the way in engaging Corus employees in health and fitness campaigns whilst also endorsing and acting as role models for the Corus Kids of Steel events.

Will Clarke

In 2006 Will won the ITU World Under 23 Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland, adding the gold medal to his ITU European Under 23 Championship victory. Moving into the senior rankings in 2007, Will finished fifth at the Senior World Triathlon Championships leading the British contingency.

Helen Tucker

After spending most of 2007 on the sidelines due to injury, Helen’s focus and determination to succeed was rewarded with a double win in the ITU Triathlon Pan American Cups in Chile and Argentina in January 2008.

Rosie Clarke

As the younger sister of Will Clarke, triathlon seems to run (and swim and bike) in the family. Rosie won the 2007 ITU European Under 23 Championships and came fourth in the 2007 ITU World Under 23 Championships.

Hollie Avil

Hollie launched herself onto the international stage in 2007 with wins at both the ITU European Junior Championships and the ITU World Junior Championships. In addition she won the Corus Elite Series event at Strathclyde Park.

Jonathan Brownlee

Jonathan has started the year with success at the Yorkshire Junior X-Country Championships. He was the national youth champion in both triathlon and duathlon in both 2006 and 2007 and certainly is a force to contend with.
