Need to know what’s been happening in
the World of Triathlon this week? Looking to scratch that triathlon itch this
weekend? Welcome to our weekly round up of all that’s hot and upcoming in the
land of swim-bike-run…
Team Brazil score Pan American Mixed
Relay gold in Vina del Mar
It always looked like a strong team
on paper, but then so did many others lining up for the 2023 Pan American Mixed
Relay title last Saturday. What Team Brazil definitely did have that no other
foursome could boast was the freshly minted men’s champion and one of the best
swimmers on the circuit, Miguel Hidalgo, taking up the first leg.
Banishing the painful memories of
their Tokyo 2020 Olympic qualification effort in Portugal, he set Brazil on
course to take the gold, Hidalgo joined by teammates Djenyfer Arnold, Manoel
Messias and Vittoria Lopes on top of the podium, Team USA with silver, Team
Canada taking bronze.

Ashleigh Gentle and Hayden Wilde win
Noosa Triathlon titles in Australia
Australia’s Ashleigh Gentle claimed a
record 10th title at a star-studded 40th anniversary edition of the Noosa
Triathlon in Queensland last weekend, New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde winning the
men’s race in a new course-record time.
Gentle lived up to her title as the
Queen of the Noosa Triathlon winning in a time of 1:55:13 ahead of fellow
Aussies Sophie Malowiecki and 21-year-old Richelle Hill in third. Tokyo 2020
Olympic medallist and #2 in the world this year, Wilde may have got lost on the
bike-run transition but still had the engine to run away from Australia’s
Matthew Hauser and shatter the course record set by Australia’s Charlie Quin in
2022 by more than a minute, Henri Schoeman (RSA) with bronze.
Something for the weekend?

Brazilian pair Miguel Hidalgo and Manoel Messias go again after their exertions
