Olympic triathlon star Georgia Taylor-Brown will be the special guest at the Isle of Man Sports Awards next month.
Taylor-Brown played a pivotal role in Team Great Britain’s success at last summer’s Paris Olympics, securing a bronze medal in the mixed team relay.
The 30-year-old, who had previously earned silver in the individual triathlon and team gold in the mixed relay at Tokyo 2020, is from Manchester and a former World Triathlon Champion and Commonwealth Games medallist.
She said: “I am really excited to attend. It will be my first visit to the Isle of Man, but I am well aware of the island’s deep sporting roots. I can’t wait to meet the athletes and immerse myself in the island’s sporting culture for a few days.”
The shortlist for the Sports Awards was unveiled last week and includes Tour de France star Sir Mark Cavendish, Paris Olympian Yasmin Ingham and Wimbledon debutant Billy Harris.
Minister Daphne Caine said: “I am delighted that Georgia has accepted our invitation and I am confident that everyone attending will gain valuable insights from her dedication, resilience, and success.”
