She won a bronze medal at the [1999 Pan American Games](/source/1999_Pan_American_Games) in [Winnipeg](/source/Winnipeg), Manitoba, Canada,[1] and a bronze and a silver at the 1995 Mar del Plata Pan American Games in the 5,000m and 10,000m respectively.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] She was the World Duathlon Champion in 1993.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Once won, she never competed in another duathlon event.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] She won the gold medal in the [2002 Commonwealth Games](/source/2002_Commonwealth_Games) in Manchester[1] and often refers to this race as the highlight of her career. She did race in high school but only in grades 8 to 10 before, returning to running while at [Simon Fraser University](/source/Simon_Fraser_University) in 1986, where she honed her running capabilities before embarking on her triathlon career.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Montgomery considered her triathlon career as a full-time "job", and thus competed in very few track races. She competed only once at 1,500m, six times at the 3,000m, six times at the 5,000m, and completed just nine 10,000m events.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] She competed at the first Olympic triathlon at the [2000 Summer Olympics](/source/2000_Summer_Olympics). She did not finish the competition due to a crash on the bike leg. She was also selected to compete in the 10,000 meters on the track, but had to withdraw due to injury sustained in the triathlon crash.[1] Four years later, at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/2004_Summer_Olympics), Montgomery finished in 35th place with a time of 2:15:25.62.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## Personal records 10000m - 32:11.19 5000m - 15:36.27 3000m - 9:04 1500m - 4:18 ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-ITU_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-ITU_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-ITU_1-2) [ITU athlete profile Carol Montgomery](https://web.archive.org/web/20070929091711/http://www2.triathlon.org/profiles/prof-elite-women/carol-montgomery-can.htm) at International Triathlon Union website, archived from [the original](https://www2.triathlon.org/profiles/prof-elite-women/carol-montgomery-can.htm) September 29, 2007. ## External links - [Carol Montgomery](https://triathlon.org/athletes/profile/5386/name) at [World Triathlon](/source/World_Triathlon) - [Carol Montgomery](https://worldathletics.org/athletes/-/14267490) at [World Athletics](/source/World_Athletics) - [Carol Montgomery](https://olympic.ca/team-canada/carol-montgomery/) at [Team Canada](/source/Canadian_Olympic_Committee) - [Carol Montgomery](https://olympics.com/en/athletes/carol-montgomery) at [Olympics.com](/source/International_Olympic_Committee) - [Carol Montgomery](https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/94452) at [Olympedia](/source/Olympedia) v t e World Champions in women's ITU Duathlon Thea Sybesma (1990) Erin Baker (1991) Jenny Alcorn (1992) Carol Montgomery (1993) Irma Heeren (1994) Natascha Badmann (1995) Jackie Gallagher (1996) Irma Heeren (1997-1998) Jackie Gallagher (1999) Stephanie Forrester (2000) Erika Csomor (2001) Corine Raux (2002) Edwige Pitel (2003) Erika Csomor (2004) Michelle Dillon (2005) Catriona Morrison (2006) Vanessa Fernandes (2007-2008) Vendula Frintová (2009) Catriona Morrison (2010) Katie Hewison (2011) Felicity Sheedy-Ryan (2012) Ai Ueda (2013) Sandra Levenez (2014) Emma Pallant (2015-2016) Felicity Sheedy-Ryan (2017) Sandrina Illes (2018) (men) Authority control databases: People World Athletics This biographical article related to a Canadian known for competing in triathlons is a stub.
