TREVOR HENDY (TREV)
Trevor is a legend in his sport. No other competitor has reached his heights. Together with his down to earth attitude and incredible sportsmanship, he has become a role model for all Australians.
Trevor is unchallenged as "The Greatest Ironman in the World." The pride of Australian Surf Lifesaving. Trevor's list of achievements would make most sportsmen and sportswomen turn green with envy.
Ever modest of his achievements, Hendy prefers to let his racing do all the talking when discussing his place in Surf Lifesaving history. Trevor currently holds the all-time record of six times Australian Ironman Champion and four time World Ironman.
After setting records as an Ironman which are yet to be matched, Trevor retired from Ironman racing in 1997 to concentrate solely on pushing a kayaking career with the dream of competing at the Sydney 2000 Olympics.
Trevor was a member of the Australian champion K4 1000 team to win consecutive national titles in 1997 and 1998 and a bronze medal at the world Championships in Germany.
His remarkable contribution to sport resulted in the awarding of the Member of the Order Australia and induction to the Australian Sports Hall of Fame. Trevor is currently training people with his Element X program with Carla Gilbert and performing public speaking. |
