Claudia Hollingsworth
Olympian, Track and Field Star
Claudia Hollingsworth, a 19-year-old middle distance track and field athlete, is generating excitement in the athletics community as she prepares for her debut at the Paris Olympics next month. A keen sportswoman from early on, Claudia was adept at both Aussie Rules football and athletics but ultimately chose to pursue a career in athletics. It’s a choice that has paid off. Under the guidance of coach Craig Mottram, Claudia has excelled in the 800m and 1500m earlier this year running a time of 1:58:40 in the 800m to take the win at the Australian Olympic Trials and earning herself a spot as a debutante at the Paris Olympics.
Claudia’s passion for athletics is driven by her competitive spirit and love for the sport. She is also passionate about inspiring other young females to enter and stay in competitive sport.
With a huge smile and a bright personality, Claudia is one to watch now and into the future as we enter the Green & Gold decade of sport in Australia and build towards Brisbane 2032.
Claudia is available for media and PR opportunities, brand partnerships, and speaking engagements.
