The 26-year-old secured her first Pentathlon World Cup gold medal in May this year before backing it up with another gold in mid-June. 

While Esposito's race in May was the third podium finish at the World Cup it was the first time an Australian woman had won gold.

She went into the final World Cup event, where she won gold, ranked number one after competing in three out of the four events.

However, it wasn't an easier start to the year for Esposito. She was coming back to competing after taking a year off to focus on herself outside of the sport and spend time with family.

She also doubted herself and telling herself she wasn't good enough but in February she pulled herself out of that hole and went back to a positive mindset.

"Last year and early this year wasn't so good and I was feeling down on myself and not sure I was doing the rights," she said after winning gold in May.

She came in seventh at the first World Cup event but choose not the participate in the second World Cup event. 

She also finished just three points outside a podium finish in the fourth World Cup event.
