Track and Field Disciplines

Lesley Paterson, born on 12 October 1980 in Stirling, is a Scottish triathlete, author, screenwriter and film producer. Introduced to triathlon by her father at the age of 14, she was a member of the Scottish and British squads by 16, but weak swimming held her back in draft-legal racing and she quit for a time before returning in 2007. She took up the off-road XTERRA format and won the XTERRA Triathlon World Championships in 2011, 2012 and 2018, as well as the World Triathlon Cross Championships in 2012 and 2018. With Ian Stokell she co-wrote a screenplay based on the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, produced in 2022 as a Netflix film, and shared the 2022 BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
