Daniel Bækkegård is a 26-year-old professional triathlete. 2019 was Daniel’s first year as a professional triathlete. Despite his young age and inexperience on the full distance he managed to take the sport by storm.

Daniel's background as an elite swimmer means that he is often racing from the front. We have seen this numerous times. Latest at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship where a good swim and a strong bike put him in the right position to secure his biggest result to date – 3rd at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship St. George.
