HIGHLIGHTS
Kenji Nener, originally from Perth, Western Australia, began triathlon at 13 after a background in tennis and football. His commitment to the sport led him to Queensland, where he began shaping a professional career. Now a consistent force on the elite circuit, Kenji balances performance with mentorship, embodying the values of Podium Racing—talented, humble, and growth-minded.
After a strong 15th-place finish at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Kenji carried that form into the 2024 supertri League, with standout races in Chicago, London, and Toulouse, finishing 8th overall. In 2025, he continues to build momentum on the international stage, proving himself as both a top-level competitor and a respected leader within the triathlon community.
