I'm Daisi Padumäe – a former fitness athlete, personal trainer and physical education student at Tallinn University. I competed in fitness for three years, over two seasons. In 2024 I was crowned Estonian champion in the bikini fitness category, and the same year I won the junior bikini fitness world title at the World Championships in Tokyo.
Although I have stepped away from the fitness stage myself, I work actively as a personal trainer and support other athletes on their journey to the stage. At the same time, I have moved on to a new goal – triathlon. I have taken part in three triathlons (two sprint distances and one Olympic distance), and in 2025 I'm competing in an Ironman 70.3 as part of a team, where I'm responsible for the swim and run legs. My next goal is to complete my first individual Ironman 70.3 in 2026.
My physical education studies at Tallinn University support both my daily work and my athletic journey, helping me understand the wider impact of training and physical activity. I believe in determination, growth and mindful training – principles that guide me both as an athlete and as a coach.
