Meeting with

Eimear Mullan and Ritchie Nicholls

You have some professionals in the highlights and others in the dark. While some are at their

very best, others are trying their hardest to feel this fit again. We met one of the most famous
couples in triathlon: Eimear Mullan and Ritchie Nicholls. From 2012 to 2014, Eimear finished on
19 internationals podiums and became a reference on the Half and Ironman circuit. Currently
Mathilde Dupouy injured for almost two years, she is fighting to practice her sport again. Her husband, Ritchie,

is taking part of the same distances and started his career with ITU. The year 2013 was a

Based in Thailand since the end of 2016, they are living together and training together. A daily

life of two, in the shadow, with the hope to be in the light again:
