Natascha Badmann, born on 6 December 1966, is a Swiss professional triathlete who won the Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, six times, in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005. Her first title in 1998 made her the first European woman to win the event. She took it at the age of 29, when her daughter Anastasia was already 13, and earned the nickname the Swiss Miss. She works in Switzerland as a social worker and speaks German, English, French and Italian. Her 2004 title came after the disqualification of the first finisher, Nina Kraft of Germany, who admitted using the banned drug EPO; Badmann had finished second on the course.
