At the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships in Perth on Sunday, Kiama Surf Life Saving Club alumni Ali Day won the Open Ironman Race for the third year in a row.

Ali has now become the sixth person history to win three Australian Ironman Titles in a row, joining the legendary figures of Barry Rogers, Trevor Hendy, Grant Kenny, Ky Hurst and Shannon Eckstein.

In addition, Ali won two silver medals in the Board Relay Team and the Swim Team at the Aussies.

Last August, the extraordinary athlete won the Coolangatta Gold ironman competition for the 8th time.

“He is still considering whether to go for a 9th,” says his proud dad, Ross Day.

What exactly does someone have to do to get on Kiama’s Sport Hall of Fame?
