Matt Hauser
PRINT PAGE
Matt Hauser (triathlon) secured his nomination for his second Commonwealth Games on his 24th birthday and is firmly in the picture to improve upon his fourth-place finish at Gold Coast 2018, as well as add another gold as part of the mixed relay. Yet another triathlete who began in athletics, Hauser did cross country and track before transitioning to triathlon. High expectations followed after a series of impressive junior achievements, including winning the world junior title and being part of Australia’s mixed relay world title in Hamburg in 2017 while still in his teens. However, Hauser spent almost a year out after the Gold Coast 2018 Games recovering from injuries sustained on a training ride when he rode into an opening car door. After recovering, he claimed back-to-back World Cup wins in 2019 and claimed bronze at the under-23 world championships in 2021. Originally coached by Brian Harrington in his hometown of Hervey Bay, Hauser has been working under Dan Atkins on the Gold Coast since 2015
