Champion International Triathletes

Erin Baker and Scott Molina are two of the greatest names in the history of world triathlon, with careers that helped shape the sport into the global phenomenon it is today.


A Christchurch local, Erin Baker is widely recognised as one of the finest female triathletes ever to compete. During her remarkable career she won more than 100 professional races, including two Ironman World Championships in Hawaii, four New Zealand Ironman titles, multiple world championships over Olympic, long-distance and duathlon events, and was named "Triathlete of the Decade" by Triathlete magazine.


Scott Molina, originally from the United States, is equally legendary. Nicknamed "The Terminator", he won the 1988 Ironman World Championship in Hawaii and accumulated well over 100 professional victories during a career spanning more than a decade. Today he continues to coach and mentor athletes around the world.


Together, Erin and Scott will share fascinating stories from the golden era of triathlon, the dedication required to compete at world-class level, the highs and lows of elite competition, and the lessons endurance sport teaches about resilience, teamwork and lifelong fitness. Their presentation promises to entertain, inspire and provide a unique behind-the-scenes insight into what it takes to become champions on the world stage.

Anna Galvan Collage after 40.jpg

Anna Galvan with her husband Hugh attended our luncheon on 12 June 2026.

She spoke mainly on her being a Commonwealth games medalist for the Silver Ferns and later an administrator and also on her organisations in New Zealand associated with food and fibre health and leadership development sectors.  She spoke about her experience as a player for the Silver Ferns and later her administrative roles.

Although she could not say what went on behind the scenes she told those present about the trauma with the sacking of the coach then the appointment of the temporary coach followed by the reinstatement of the former coach.  She felt some lessons have been learned from this experience.
