ABOUT MAYA

WORLD CLASS PROFESSIONAL TRIATHLETE

Maya Kingma is finding her own way through the world of triathlon. Maya is passionate about leaving the world in a better place than she found it – forging a path others can follow and treading lightly as she goes.

Starting as a long distance swimmer, where she won multiple national junior championships, she made the jump to triathlon when she was 16. Overcoming many injuries and other obstacles, she finally saw her breakthrough year in 2020. By winning her first WTCS race in Leeds and compete in the Tokyo Olympics, 2021 was the year of confirmation and improvement. Maya is determined to keep improving, as she has a single-minded focus on becoming the best version of herself she can possibly be.

In 2024, Maya competed in her second Olympic Games, held in Paris. Her 7th-place finish, earned through a strong and aggressive race, marked an impressive comeback after a challenging end to 2023.

With her first World Cup victory in Karlovy Vary, Maya returned to the high level she had shown in previous years—when she placed in the top ten of the World Triathlon Championships three times. She carried that momentum into 2025 with a standout performance at the WTCS in Alghero, finishing 4th in May.
