Who is Kate Waugh? <\/strong><\/h2>\nKate Waugh was an early adopter when it came to triathlon. She competed in her first race at the age of eight and by the time she was 15, she already had a European title under her belt. The following decade would provide a multitude of medals for the athlete from Gateshead.<\/p>\n
That first European crown was won as part of the British youth women\u2019s relay squad in 2014, and was followed two years later by another, this time in the mixed junior relay.<\/p>\n
Twelve months later, Waugh\u2019s third European gold was arguably her most satisfying, gained in the individual junior women\u2019s race in Kitzb\u00fchel.<\/p>\n
But Europe was not enough for the Geordie, and two world titles would follow in time. Both came during the 2022 season.<\/p>\n
The first arrived in Hamburg in July as what was effectively a reserve British mixed relay quartet (the highest-ranked racers were busy with Commonwealth Games preparation) took a surprise gold.<\/p>\n
The second was achieved in November as Waugh strode to victory in the U23 women\u2019s race at the WTCS Finals in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
A first WTCS top-five finish followed in May 2023, a strong foothold for Waugh as she attempts to secure a place among the top tier of the sport\u2019s elite.<\/p>\n
Still only 24, but with oodles of big-race experience in her locker, her climb into the upper echelons of the world rankings is surely a matter of when, not if.<\/p>\n
How old is Kate Waugh?<\/strong><\/h2>\nKate Waugh was born on 13 February 1999, making her 24 years of age.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a significant one too: she becomes a European champion, as part of the victorious British youth women\u2019s relay quartet in the Russian city of Penza.<\/p>\n
July 2015: Three is the magic number<\/strong><\/h3>\nWaugh\u2019s most significant individual result to date is achieved at a junior European Cup race in Holten in the Netherlands where she finishes third behind the American winner Taylor Knibb<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nLater that month, a return to the European championships yields a silver in the youth women\u2019s relay.<\/p>\n
April 2016: Moving on up<\/strong><\/h3>\nNow competing as a junior woman, Waugh takes second place in a European Cup race in Quarteira, Portugal, beaten only by the older, more experienced Frenchwoman Cassandre Beaugrand<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\nMay 2016: Golden girl<\/strong><\/h3>\nMore Portugal-based success comes Waugh\u2019s way the following month, when she takes her second European title in Lisbon, this time in the mixed junior relay. It\u2019s more than adequate compensation for her DNF in the women\u2019s individual race the day before.<\/p>\n
June 2017: First individual European title<\/strong><\/h3>\nA third European crown arrives the following spring \u2013 and this time she doesn\u2019t have to share it with her team-mates. She takes gold in the junior women\u2019s race in Kitzb\u00fchel, holding off the challenge of the Dane, Sif Bendix Madsen.<\/p>\n
