Leo Bergere has one of the unique stories in sport as the boy who grew up in the jungle and became a world-class triathlete. Leo was born in France, but when his mum landed a job as a teacher, the family moved to the jungle of New Caledonia. Leo lived in the remote French territory in the South Pacific for three years up to the age of 10.
The tribe in his village lived an outdoors lifestyle with lots of time spent in nature and around the ocean with an incredible amount of freedom – he was often away from his family for three days in a row, fishing, wind-surfing and climbing trees with the tribe. They also enjoyed many breakdance battles, as was the culture for young people in New Caledonia at that time.
Moving back to France was quite a culture shock and ignited Leo’s passion for sport on a competitive level. After five years of gymnastics and cycling, he discovered triathlon aged 15. He quickly won European Championship gold as a member of the French Junior Mixed Relay squad. He got his chance in World Cup races in 2016, having collected a podium finish in the Junior World Championships in Chicago.
Leo has gone on secure top-ten finishes on the WTS stage and been a part of France’s all conquering Mixed Relay squad, including winning the Mixed Relay World Championship in Hamburg in 2019 and 2020. In addition, he has raced regularly in Super League Triathlon and secured several top-ten finishes.
Leo’s girlfriend is Italian professional triathlete Angelica Olmo.
