Here, we take a deep dive into her multisport history.<\/p>
Who is Emma Pallant-Browne?<\/strong><\/h2>Competing under her maiden name before her marriage to South African triathlete Jaryd Browne, Emma Pallant-Browne has enjoyed plenty of success in various multisport disciplines.<\/p>
Prior to this, she was a top-rated runner, having been both the European U23 cross-country champion and a bronze medallist over 1,500m at the World Junior Athletics Championships.<\/p>
Having suffered a reoccurrence of a knee injury during the trials for the 5,000m for London 2012, Pallant-Browne looked elsewhere to rebuild her fitness: triathlon.<\/p>Emma Pallant-Browne celebrates winning Escape from Alcatraz in 2021. (Credit: Scott Strazzante\/San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>Without experience in the water or on the bike, she sought the coaching know-how of Michelle Dillon. She entered the London Triathlon having barely ridden a road bike, but such was her speed on the run that she finished an extraordinary sixth in her very first race.<\/p>
Since then, she\u2019s truly riding the heights of the multisport world. A two-time world duathlon champion, along with also being the winner of the aquathlon world title, it\u2019s been at 70.3 distance that Pallant-Browne has shown exceptional high-level consistency, thanks particularly to those superlative, usually incomparable running splits.<\/p>
Her 70.3 victories now number into double figures, while she\u2019s also racked up plenty of wins in the Challenge Family series of half-distance events. <\/p>
Along the way, she\u2019s also picked up a silver and bronze at the 70.3 worlds, although the gold continues to elude her.<\/p>
How old is Emma Pallant-Browne?<\/strong><\/h2>Emma Pallant-Browne was born on 6 April 1989, making her 34 years of age.<\/p>
