Christopher Troode (born 19 February 1983) is an Australian former athlete.[1]
A native of Perth, Troode was a member of Australia's gold medal-winning 4 × 400 metres relay team at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne (with John Steffensen, Mark Ormrod & Clinton Hill). He was the only addition to the team which won silver at the 2004 Olympics and ran the second leg of the final.[2]
In 2009, Troode won a 4 × 400 metres gold medal at the World University Games in Belgrade, where he also qualified fastest for the 400 metres individual final (but did not start).[3]
Troode's wife Lyndsay was a sprinter at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is the daughter of athlete Coleen Pekin.[4]
