Chelsea Sodaro

American long-distance triathlete who was an All-American runner at UC Berkeley and a two-time US national champion (10 km road, indoor 3000 m) before switching to triathlon in 2017. Her run remains her biggest weapon. In only her second Ironman she won the 2022 world championship in Kona, the first American woman to do so in 26 years, and she returned to the podium with third in Nice in 2024. She joined Ventum in April 2025 and first raced the Tempus at Ironman Texas.
