Jasmine Brown - inSync

In the world of triathlon, few names are rising faster than Jasmine Brown. The young Australian triathlete has quickly built a reputation for precision, discipline, and an unmistakable edge on the bike. From winning her age group at the World Triathlon Long Distance Championships to 3 top-10 finishes at IRONMAN 70.3 Sunshine Coast, Geelong, and Port Macquarie.

Jasmine represents the next generation of endurance athletes redefining speed and efficiency who are coming from an amateur background but transitioning to the pro field with some momentum on her side.

We caught up with Jasmine to talk about her mindset, how she builds resilience through training, and the role equipment plays in finding those marginal gains that separate good from great.

Q: Jasmine, you are coming from a dominant stretch of results in the AG field. What made you want to make the switch to race in the PRO field, and was this always the plan?

A: I guess the biggest thing was I felt I had achieved everything I wanted to in AG racing. This firstly involves winning two World Championships – long course and Ironman 70.3 – in one year, and secondly, taking overall AG wins in races I entered.    

I was always told by people around me that I could go professional a couple of years ago. I not only wanted to get the AG world championship titles but also wanted to be competitive within the PRO field.   

Q: What has come as the biggest shock in the racing dynamics in switching from AG to PRO?

A: This would have to be the group dynamics on the bike. As an age grouper, I was generally racing alone, whereas as a PRO there is usually someone around, if not a group. I found the surging in my first PRO race truly took the zap out of my legs, which is something I certainly was not used to. Another big thing is that I am out there properly racing against other women, instead of doing an individual time-trial like I did in AG.    Q: This year so far, you have grabbed a 9th at Geelong, a 7th at Port Mac and a 5th at Sunny Coast, it seems like you are on a roll! At this rate, it appears that 3rd and 1st are the next logical steps! How are you looking into your second season of Pro racing next year? Are you planning on staying in Australia or looking for some international experience?

A: A podium finish would absolutely be the next step and something I am working towards. Next year, I will be aiming to race on the international circuit to see where I stack up against other world-class women and continue gaining racing experience. 

Q: Most people might not know it, but you are actually related to cycling royalty. How has it been having Grace Brown in your corner and knowing you can pick the brains of one of the most dominant TT Cyclists of the last decade?

A: I do feel very, very lucky having Grace in my corner. Having Grace as my cousin has definitely given me someone to look up to in professional racing. She has also inspired me to give PRO racing a go, and that anything is possible if you put your mind to it. 

I haven’t had to lean on Grace for tips and tricks on becoming a strong time-trialist just yet, but I am sure this day will come in the foreseeable future. It would be silly not to pick her brain and let all the knowledge and experience go to waste.  

Q: You have recently set up your new AB03 system on your Canyon. What made you want to make the switch to Sync Extensions, and what have you enjoyed the most from the extension in the little time you have had them?

A: Ever since getting into triathlon, I had seen Sync on a lot of other athletes' bikes, plus Grace using Sync on her time-trial bike. The AB03 looked neat, fast, comfortable, and well-designed, so when I was looking at a new front end, I knew I wanted something similar to the AB03. 

With my old front end, I was limited to making adjustments and didn’t have quite enough reach. Since switching to the AB03, I have had the ability to extend my arms, creating a more stretched and aero position. Plus, I have loved the overall comfort of the AB03, which is super important for long-course triathlon. 

Q: It seems now in LC racing that everyone is optimizing everything when it comes to the bike. Is there anything you are looking to measure and improve during this off-season?

A: Absolutely – everyone is looking for the extra 1% not only the PROs but also age groupers. There are a couple of things I am looking to improve this off-season. First is getting more comfortable in holding the TT position so I can stay aero for longer durations. Secondly, to optimise my position to not only be faster but also to lower my CDA as much as possible.   

All of us at Sync wish Jasmine the best of mechanical luck for the remainder of the 2025 season and whatever the future may bring. You can rely on us for any assistance in finding "free speed" on the bike!
