Miles Stewart made his first elite World Championship team in 1989, aged 18. At age 20, Stewart experienced one of the defining moments of his career, winning the ITU World Championships in his hometown, the Gold Coast. He remains the youngest triathlete to win an ITU elite World Championship. Stewart's other achievements include:

• A World Indoor Championship
• A World Cup Series
• Eight ITU World Cups
• The 1996 and 2000 Australian Championships
• Australian Sports Medal 2001
