Chloe Esposito won the modern pentathlon Gold Medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games.

Chloe’s golden success was a long time in the making. Her story is one of true Australian grit, determination and hard work. Undeterred by the neigh sayers and Modern Pentathlon being a minnow sport in Australia, Chloe has always had big dreams. She attempted to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games at just 15 years of age. Her 3rd place finish at the Oceania Championships in 2007 wasn’t quite enough to qualify her but her hunger for success had certainly been sparked.

Eleven years on, Chloe competed at two Olympic Games. She famously won the hearts of Australian’s when she became the Olympic Champion at the 2016 Rio Games…with an Olympic record! 

Following in the steps of father and now Coach, Daniel, Chloe first tasted podium success in 2011 at just 20 years old when she won the Swiss Open International. Since then Chloe has been a top 10 regular and has established her position as one of the best Pentathletes on the world circuit. 

In 2011 she returned to the Oceania Championships in Cheng Du, China seeking London Olympic qualification and achieved just that, qualifying 1st. Chloe went on to achieve Australia’s best female result in London. She came from behind when she started the final combined event in 16th place. Her charge saw her finish in 7th and that gritty determination has become her trademark. 

Although still under the radar of most Australians, 2012 was a pinnacle year for Chloe as she won her first World Cup medal in Rio De Janeiro as well as Australia’s first medal at a World Championships. She claimed a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships in Poland.
