From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lisa Marangon (born 12 June 1980) is a Sydney, Australia based professional triathlete.
Marangon won her first major professional race, the Busselton, Western Australia half ironman on 5 May 2007.[1] The race consisted of a 1.9 kilometre swim, a 90.1 kilometre bike and a 21.1 kilometre run.
A single mum,[2] Marangon won the 18- to 24-year-old age group at the 2003 Ironman Australia in Forster and qualified for the Hawaii World Championships. In training for those world championships, she won the New South Wales Duathlon Championships in the 20-24 age group. She finished second in her age group in Kona.[citation needed]
In 2004, she won the 18-24 age group at the Australian Ironman for a second year. At the World Championships she finished third. She turned professional during 2004. At the 2009 ITU World Long Course Championships held in Perth, she finished seventh,[2] maintaining her number one world ranking in long distance triathlons.[3]
On 25 July 2010 Marangon took 3rd place in the Lake Placid Ironman.[4]
On 30 July 2016 Marangon released a statement[5] that she will receive a four year ban by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority for testing positive for the banned substance Ostarine. The test result originated from a sample taken in January 2016 at the Challenge Melbourne event, where Marangon finished 5th.[6]
