Stuart Hayes

Stuart Hayes is an English triathlete, born on 16 April 1979 in Isleworth, London, who began as a swimmer at Hounslow Swimming Club and converted to triathlon at fifteen, saying he was fed up of swimming up and down all day counting tiles. He is coached by his wife, Michelle Dillon. He missed selection for the 2004 Olympics in Athens, although he finished that year ranked third in the world, and failed to qualify for Beijing in 2008 after two punctures in the qualification event. In 2010 he won his first ITU Triathlon World Cup event at Kitzbühel in 1:52:32. He was selected for Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the men's triathlon alongside the Brownlee brothers, and Olympedia records him in 37th place.
