Chris McCormack:True International Champion
　　克里斯•麦科马克热爱运动，热衷于为他的子女们做榜样，也以此作为激励自己做到最好的方式。他也非常愿意亲身体验来感受运动的魅力，感受体育比赛迈上一个新的台阶。
　　“我真的特别高兴，我所参加的这项赛事已经成为一项全世界知名的赛事，”他说，“如果其他国家的运动员也来参加这项比赛，能产生更多的冠军就太好了。”
　　克里斯•麦科马克生于1973年4月4日，是一名澳大利亚铁人三项运动员。克里斯于1996年开始参加国际上的比赛，并于次年先后获得铁人世锦赛冠军和国际铁联世界杯系列赛冠军：时至今日，还没有第二个人能在一年之内摘得两项桂冠。
　　其实，在加入铁人长距离赛之前，克里斯就获得过多项铁人三项运动短距离赛的冠军，包括：国际铁联世界杯系列赛冠军。他甚至在素有恶魔岛铁人赛，以及友好运动会，圣地亚哥国际铁人赛，纽约国际铁人赛和洛杉矶国际铁人赛中表现良好。他也成为十年内第一名获得三连冠的铁人三项运动员。2001年克里斯再一次戴上了全球铁人三项运动之桂冠，成为唯一一位在一个赛季内获得美国铁人世锦赛和美国斯普林特赛道的铁人运动员。
　　把重心转到长距离比赛之后，他又连续赢得了好几次比赛，展示了他在长距离赛上的绝对优势。2002年至2006年，克里斯获得了澳大利亚铁人赛5连冠。2007年他又获得了夏威夷科纳铁人赛冠军，期间他与2006年的冠军难分胜负，经过6次的冲刺争夺，终于以2分钟的微弱优势获胜。
　　克里斯常居于美国和澳大利亚，因此他有着典型的国际生活方式。他早已听说中国铁人赛环境优美而富有挑战性。他也非常激动今年能在海南海口参加这项赛事争霸，成为国际旅游岛的一份子。

Chris McCormack:True International Champion
McCormack loves the sport, loves the fact that he’s a great role model for his kids and remains motivated to “be the best that he can be.” He’d also like to be part of an era that sees the sport reach new levels of excellence.
“More than anything I’m happy that I’m involved in this sport that has become a truly global sport,” he said. “It would be great for some other countries to come along and put their champions on this list.”
Chris McCormack (born 4 April 1973) is an Australian triathlete, known affectionately to the triathlon community as Macca. McCormack began competing on international-distance courses in 1996, winning both the 1997 Triathlon World Championships and the 1997 ITU World Cup Series; to date, no-one else has won both titles in a single year.
Before moving to Ironman distance races Chris won almost every major short course title on the global triathlon calendar including the ITU World Cup Series, Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon as well as some of the sport's most prestigious triathlon events: Goodwill Games, Mrs T's Chicago International Triathlon, San Diego International Triathlon, New York City International Triathlon and LA International Triathlon. He also became the first triathlete in a decade to capture the US Triple Crown. In 2001, Chris was again crowned Global Triathlete Of The Year and Competitor Of The Year and became the only triathlete ever to hold the USA Professional Championship Title and the USA Sprint Course Title in one season.
After shifting focus to longer distance racing he displayed exceptional aptitude for the distance winning many races. McCormack won Ironman Australia in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. In 2007 he won the Ironman World Championships in Kona Hawaii after 6 attempts at the race coming as close as second, within 2 minutes of the winner, in 2006.
As a person who has lived in both the USA and Australia, Chris “Macca,” leads a truly international lifesyle. He has heard about the tough conditions, but beautiful conditions at Ironman China, and he is excited to come this year to compete and take up the challenge in Haikou, Hainan and to be a part of the international tourist island.
