About

Tilly Anema is a British triathlete from Norfolk. She swam competitively from the age of nine and turned to triathlon at seventeen, once she found she enjoyed running as much as swimming. She has trained at the National Triathlon Performance Centre Wales in Cardiff since starting at Cardiff Met in 2020.

She races short course for Great Britain on the World Triathlon Cup and Championship Series circuits, usually at the front out of the swim. In November 2025 she took her first World Cup podium, bronze in Miyazaki, and six days later won the season finale in Tongyeong.
