The Greg Bennett Show episodes

May 11, 2020 Mark Webber - Formula 1 driver - World Endurance Car World Champion
Mark Webber is one of the world’s all-time high performers. His rise from country Australia to the pinnacle of motorsport is an incredibly inspiring and entertaining story.

12 years in the cut-throat billion-dollar industry of Formula 1 motor racing– winning 9 Formula One Grand Prix’s and finishing on the podium in the overall drivers’ championship 3 times. Post Formula 1, he raced for Porsche in the World Endurance car Championships where he won the world title in 2015.

He retired from professional racing in 2016 but he hasn’t stopped… his transition, seamless from racing… to Porsche, Red Bull, and Rolex ambassador and TV pundit and public speaker.

He’s had his fair share up bumps and shunts, but he’s continued to keep moving forward. He’s been a good mate of mine for over a decade, a great endurance athlete, a salt of the earth good guy, and someone I truly take inspiration from.

May 04, 2020 Helen Jenkins - Multiple Triathlon World Champion & Three time British Olympian
Helen Jenkins is a Two-time triathlon world champion and one of the few athletes to win a World title when it was a one-day event and then when it became a series.

She’s represented Great Britain at three Olympics.

She’s had a career of extreme highs and tough lows– world titles to injuries that have had her sidelined for more than a year at a time. She continues to show incredible resolve. Her sheer grit, perseverance, and determination have had her reach the top of her sport time and time again.

April 27, 2020 Vincent Luis - 2019 Triathlon World Champion
Vincent Luis is one of the fastest men in the world of Triathlon. Blistering swim speed, incredible bike power, and a lightening run.

He kicked off his career winning the World junior championships in 2008. A few years later he finished 11th at the 2012 London Olympics Games.

By 2015 he was on the podium of the ITU World Triathlon series.

At the Rio Olympics, he was 7th

He has slowly but surely edged his way to the top of the world. Finishing 2nd in the World Series in 2018, then finally after 11 years since his junior world title, he won the ITU World Championship title in 2019.

He’s a man with passion, patience, and persistence and is squeezing everything he can out of himself to be the best he can… which I believe is the best in the world and a strong favorite for Olympic Gold in Tokyo 2021.

April 20, 2020 Gwen Jorgensen - Olympic and Multiple World Triathlon Champion - Professional Runner
Gwen Jorgensen is an athlete who’s not afraid to test herself and go places she’s never been before.

Accountant turned professional Triathlete, turned professional runner.

Her rise to the top of the world in Triathlon was rapid.
She began her professional Triathlon career in 2010, by 2011 she had earned her spot on the US team for the London Olympics. By 2013 she was winning her first ITU World series events and by 2014 she was winning the ITU World Triathlon Series title which she repeated in 2015. An undefeated season in 2015 and an almost perfect season in 2014.
And in 2016 she took Gold at the Rio Olympics and backed up with silver in the ITU world series that same year.

In 2017, she became a mother to a beautiful boy and later that year announced her retirement from Triathlon and her career shift to professional running.

She’s one of the worlds all-time greatest athletes.

April 13, 2020 Alistair Brownlee - Multiple Triathlon Olympic and World Champion
Alistair Brownlee is arguably the greatest Triathlete of all time, he’s at least very much a part of that conversation.

An Olympic Gold at his home Olympics in London, then 4 years later Gold again at the Rio Olympics.

Combine that with:
Two ITU Triathlon World Championships.
Two time World Team Champion.
Four European Championships and the 2014 Commonwealth title.

And most recently he won the Western Australia Ironman in Dec with a blistering course record with almost the world's fastest ever Ironman time of 7hr45min20sec.

He races without fear and races for the win with absolute intent.

A man that has triumphed under enormous pressure, has come back from adversity time and time again and showed enormous character when he carried his brother across the line at the cost of his own shot at the ITU Grand Final win in 2016.

I've been looking forward to this chat and getting a peek behind the mind of one of the world's all-time greatest athletes.

April 06, 2020 Kristian Blummenfelt - Norwegian Olympic Triathlete
The next generation of Triathletes are here and they’re powerful, strong and capable and they’re being led by this man - Kristian Blummenfelt.

He’s an aggressive racer on the bike and run. He loves to train hard and race even harder. When he’s on the start line, his competitors know it will be flat out for the entire race. He’s been a consistent podium and top 5 finisher, but I believe the wind is changing and we will see his winning percentage rate increase over the next few years.

He’s cemented himself as one of the strong medal favorites for the Tokyo Olympics… whenever they take place.

His most recent results include:

Winning the 2019 Grand Final for the World Triathlon series in Lausanne, Switzerland running away from the very best including, Mola, Luis, Gomez, and Johnny Brownlee
He holds the world best time for the 70.3 distance with a 3.25.21 at Bahrain 70.3 in 2019.

He’s won 32 World Cups, plus Junior World Championships, 2 x U23 World Championships, 5 x Team relay World Champion and an unheard-of an undefeated perfect season in 2017.
