Guy Leech

Guy Leech shot to fame as a 19 year old with an extraordinary against the odds victory in the first ever professional ironman race in the world the Coolangatta Gold in 1984 in front of 120,000. People lined the Gold Coast and a massive television audience viewed the stunning victory. Leech epitomised the bronzed Aussie with his sun bleached hair, outgoing personality, athletic talent and fighting spirit which saw him dominate Iron Man competition for the next 10 years.
"Leechy" won an amazing 7 Uncle Toby's Iron Man Championships and the World Iron Man title in the event many believe to be the ultimate test of fitness. He won the Australian Marathon swimming championships, represented his country in still water swimming and triumphed in his first attempt at the gruelling World Ocean Paddling championship in Molokai, Hawaii's over 56kms.
