Jeremy Peacock’s earliest Paralympic Games memory is watching the wheelchair marathon at the London 2012 Games.

The boy from Victoria, inspired by Dylan Alcott and Kurt Fearnley, decided to forge his own journey, encouraged by a friend to try Para-triathlon in 2017.

Jeremy was born three months premature, which resulted in him being diagnosed with hemiplegia cerebral palsy. He has always been active and competed in running throughout school.

It wasn’t until 2019 when he looked into Para-sport that Jeremy says he began to accept and share the fact he had cerebral palsy He made his domestic debut in 2020 and international debut two years later.

His first year on the international circuit proved a success, culminating in 3rd place in the PTS4 classification at the 2022 World Championships. He currently trains with the Eloitik Professional triathlon squad based in Melbourne.

Jeremy’s fourth Oceania title, earlier in 2024, put him on the road to Paris. He is aiming to be a long-term elite competitor and is proud to represent Australia in Para-triathlon at the Paralympics.
