In the first episode of Sport360 Stories we meet Olivier Godart, a Luxembourg national residing in the UAE.

Five years ago, Olivier was managing a successful career and life at home, but it was clear he wanted more.There was a competitive edge that was unfulfilled until he decided to dedicate his free time to competing in triathlons.

In five short years, Olivier has gone on to win numerous triathlon events in the Middle East, including the demanding TriYAS on two occasions. Now  he is a role model for aspiring triathletes in the region.

But what makes him tick? How has he managed to become such a force in the triathlon world as well as maintaining a career? In our first episode of Sport360 Stories, Tom Bushell gets to know exactly why Olivier and triathlons go hand-in-hand.

Olivier will next be competing in TriYAS on February 26 at Yas Marina.
