Lauren Steadman

Lauren is originally a Paralympic swimmer, But her uncle guided her into the triathlon, A third of which involves outdoor swimming, And did her first one in 2011, came second. Born without a lower right arm, she’s won, Many a Paralympic, World and Euro title, And in swimming, 2009, won the Worlds, In Rio, the 4x100m freestyle relay 34pts. In that same year in Reykjavik in Iceland, Lauren won the bronze 400m freestyle S9, And in Berlin in 2011, at the Euro Champs, Lauren took freestyle 4x100m relay bronze. 2013, and she scored top gold in Antalya, Turkey, at the ETU Para-tiathlon Europeans, Then at the ITU World Champs in London, Lauren logged down a silver medal proudly. Then in 2014 at the ETU European Champs, In Kitzbühel, Austria, Lauren won the gold, And at the ITU Worlds, Edmonton, Canada, Lauren took yet another World class title.   In 2015 at the ETU Europeans in Geneva, She strode to victory with yet another gold, And at the ITU World Champs in Chicago, In that same year, yet another fell on her. 2016 and at the ETU Europeans in Lisbon, Portugal, Lauren collected still another gold, And so in Rio she triumphed with a silver: She has a 1st in Psychology, born 18/12/92.
