Timeline
Simon St. Quentin Whitfield (born May 16, 1975) is a Canadian retired Olympic triathlon champion.
Whitfield won ten consecutive Canadian Triathlon Championships titles and carried the Canadian national flag during the 2000 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Sydney, where he had won his gold medal, and the opening ceremony at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, making him one of few Canadian athletes to be honoured twice as Olympic flag bearer.
Whitfield was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
As a young boy, Whitfield played soccer, until he began with triathlon at age 11, honing his early competitive skills in the Canadian Kids of Steel program.
By age 15, he was pursuing triathlon on a serious competitive basis.
Whitfield won a gold medal in the triathlon at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
He got up off the ground after he and 14 other riders crashed in the bike race portion of the event and worked his way back near the leaders.
In the foot race, he cut down the field one at a time then put on a finishing kick to take the victory.
In the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England he claimed gold again.
He ended up in 11th place at the 2004 Summer Olympics with a time of 1:53:15.81.
Whitfield was named to the 2008 Summer Olympics team and won a silver medal while competing at his third consecutive games.
With a time of 1:48:58, he finished 5 seconds behind the German gold medalist.
Whitfield's accomplishment was made even more impressive considering he was a distant fourth behind the lead three runners heading into the final kilometre of the run before he burst forth into the lead with 200 metres remaining.
Whitfield, exhausted by his effort to get back into the lead, was then passed by the eventual winner Jan Frodeno of Germany at the end of the race.
His final time was 1:48:24.02, which until 2012 stood as the fastest Olympic triathlon.
Whitfield competed at the 2012 London Olympics in Triathlon.
Whitfield retired in 2013.
At present, Whitfield lives in Victoria, British Columbia and maintains his second residence at Salt Spring Island.
After finishing 15th in the swim Whitfield was riding out of transition in his aero-bars when he was caught off balance going over a speed bump, falling off of his bike and breaking his collar bone, forcing him to drop out of the race.
Although disappointed, Whitfield remained composed and tactful, apologizing to a fellow athlete who was involved in the crash.
Throughout the Olympics Whitfield continued to defend fellow triathlete and Olympic competitor Paula Findlay from the media when she came last in the women's triathlon in the London games.
In 2017, Whitfeld was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame.
