A Winner for Tri NZ

Meet Bruce Jordan, a remarkable Taranaki man and the winner of a brand new Suzuki Swift. Bruce recently sat down with us to share the highs and lows of his journey to becoming one of New Zealand’s most prolific para-triathletes.

Bruce’s life took a dramatic turn in 1995 when a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and collided with his vehicle. The accident left him with severe injuries, yet despite these challenges, he constantly demonstrates a resilience that defines his athletic pursuits.

Following his recent win of Suzuki’s Tri NZ Swift Draw, he expressed heartfelt gratitude to his wife and sons, Kerri, Arlo, and Nico, for their unwavering support. “Winning the Suzuki Swift has been incredible,” Bruce said. “All of my training and triathlon competing has been self-funded, and my wife and family have been with me at every event. To be able to give the Swift to Kerri, who has been 100% supportive over the last 10 years, has been brilliant. I cannot thank Suzuki enough for their support over the years to Triathlon NZ and personally, with an awesome car now in our garage (now with roof racks).”

At Suzuki, we’re privileged to support athletes like Bruce and to be part of their inspiring journeys. Our involvement with Triathlon NZ allows us to share these remarkable stories and help the sport grow, providing opportunities for the next generation of athletes. We look forward to continuing our support and hearing more from our community as triathlon continues to inspire and transform lives.
