Welcome to our round up of all that’s
hot and happening in swim-bike-run, the World Triathlon Weekly. Delivered to you
every Friday by the World Triathlon Team. Let’s take a look at what happened in
the TRI world the past seven days…
Jorgensen makes it three for three in
Tongyeong, Hellwig continues to impress
In a year full of impressive
comebacks and breakout campaigns, Gwen Jorgensen’s blue-carpet return has been
among the most eye-catching. In Korea last weekend the USA’s 2016 Olympic
champion delivered a 16m30s run to earn a third straight World Cup gold. Shout
out to Tereza Zimovjanova (CZE) for a brave solo run that ensured a first
podium and Yuko Takahashi with silver.
The men’s race saw Tim Hellwig back on top of the podium to wrap up a
superb year for the German that has seen two World Cup wins, a Mixed Relay
world title and Championship Finals silver, Ricardo Batista (POR) and Sam
Dickinson (GBR) with silver and bronze. Watch both races back on
TriathlonLive.tv.
Malaga Para Cup gives glimpse of next
year’s Championship Finals
The Spanish city of Malaga will be
the home for the 2024 Championship Finals, with world titles on the line across
all the Para classes. So last weekend’s Para Cup in the city was a prime
opportunity to put the course to the test and earn precious Paris 2024
qualification points in the process. More about that soon, but for now, let’s
just say it was a very good weekend for Spanish athletes as they scooped five
gold and four bronze medals. Next stop, Taranto in Italy, this weekend. Take a
look at some of the best pictures of the race here.
Leo Bergere and Kate Waugh take the
2023 SLT titles in Neom
The Super League season came to an
end in Neom and the Saudi desert course witnessed our 2022 World Champion Leo
Bergere take full advantage of the short chute and win the men’s race as well
as the overall series, with Hayden Wilde in second place and Alex Yee in third,
both at the race and the overall series. Another French star Cassandre
Beaugrand took the women’s race gold but it was Britain’s Kate Waugh with the
overall title after tying on points with Jeanne Lehair but finishing 10 seconds
ahead of her title rival in Neom. Watch the racing back on TriathlonLive.tv
here.
Coninx takes a shot at Challenge
Vieux Bocaux
Another French World Champion was in
action at the weekend as Dorian Coninx tested himself over the middle distance
for the first time at Challenge Vieux Bocaux. Dorian may have led from the swim
but that was as good as it got for our world number one, meanwhile Mathis
Margirier won a remarkable sprint finish against Mika Noodt as the German’s
legs gave way right at the line. Aaron Royle finished with bronze and Alistair
Brownlee was 5th, Caroline Pohle brushing off the horrendous weather conditions
to take the women’s win.
Something for the weekend?
World Triathlon Podcast #83
Speaking of Dorian Coninx, this week
the 29-year-old who made up 500 points in the final race to seal the 2023 world
championships in the most dramatic fashion, joined us on the World Triathlon
Podcast. It is a brilliantly honest appraisal of his early career flaws and how
he has battled to overcome them, and an excellent insight into how he won that
race in Pontevedra - Listen on Apple, Spotify or Google.
Miyazaki World Cup
The World Triathlon Cup Express pulls
into Miyazaki on Saturday morning for the penultimate stop of the 2023 world
tour, where Kenji Nener and Yuko Takahashi will be going all-in for what would
be huge home wins. Standing in their way are the likes of Jorgensen and Waugh,
Mislawchuk and Schomburg, and a huge Olympic-distance challenge. Men will take
the stage on Saturday at 8am local time, and the Women will follow at 10.30am.
