Matthew Hauser (born 3 April 1998) is an Australian triathlete.[2] In 2025 Hauser achieved the rare double of world champion and world mixed relay champion.

In July 2025, he was a member of the Australian team which won the gold medal at the World Triathlon Mixed Relay Championships in Hamburg, alongside Sophie Linn, Luke Willian and Emma Jeffcoat. In October of the same year, his home victory in the World Triathlon Championship Series Grand Final in Wollongong, New South Wales confirmed his first individual world title.[3] In 2018, he won the gold medal in the mixed relay event at the Commonwealth Games held in Gold Coast, Australia.

Hauser also competes in Super League Triathlon racing in which he was 2022 Enduro champion.[4]

Early career

[edit]

In 2018, he won the gold medal in the mixed relay event at the Commonwealth Games held in Gold Coast, Australia. He also finished in 4th place in the men's triathlon.[5] He won a bronze medal in the men's triathlon at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.[6]

In 2021, he competed in the men's triathlon at the 2020 Summer Olympics held in Tokyo, Japan.[7] He also competed in the mixed relay event.

2022 season

[edit]

Hauser competed at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games where he finished third in the individual event and was also part of the bronze medal winning mixed relay team, alongside Sophie Linn, Jacob Birtwistle and Natalie Van Coevorden.[6]

At Super League Triathlon London 2022 Hauser was wrongly identified as Jamie Riddle and penalised for false starting, resulting in a time penalty. However, he was able to recover from the penalty and finish the event in 2nd place.[8] At SLT Munich, the following week, Hauser took first place ahead of Hayden Wilde, and Vasco Vilaca, putting him in first place in the overall Championship standings heading into the 3rd event.[9] After crashes in Malibu and Toulouse saw Hauser drop out of the top spot, he was able to take the win at the series finale in NEOM and secure second place and the silver medal in the series overall.[10]
