Lauryn Eagle (born December 11, 1987) is a famous Australian athlete known for being a champion in two very different sports: water skiing and boxing. Besides her success in sports, she has also appeared on TV shows and won an international beauty pageant.

Early Life and Family

Lauryn Eagle was born in Randwick, New South Wales, to her parents Peter and Kerrie Eagle. She grew up in a family that loved water skiing. Her father, Peter, was a 10-time Australian champion in the sport. Her sister, Sarah, also became a talented water skier, winning second place at the World Championships in 2007.

Lauryn started learning to water ski when she was only four years old and began competing in races at age nine. When she was 20, her father sadly passed away in a boating accident in Sydney Harbour.
