It was certainly one way to whet Alistair Brownlee’s appetite for Ironman, but not entirely in the manner expected. Advertisement The double-Olympic champion took victory in the rain in Ironman Ireland, Cork in his much-anticipated full distance debut, after the swim was cancelled and the contest switched to a duathlon. The Yorkshireman then confirmed he would accept the one qualifying slot on offer for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii in October. “That was one of the reasons I came here today,” he said. “I’ve hopefully got a few years left in me, but I’ll be going to Kona very much for a learning experience and can’t wait to see…

Victory in Montreal gave Katies Zafares her fourth victory in five races of the 2019 World Triathlon Series and wreaked swift revenge on runner-up Georgia Taylor-Brown who had defeated her in Leeds last time out.  Advertisement The consistent Jess Learmonth also fought off a strong challenge from Italian Alice Betto to cling on for her fourth consecutive podium, while third Brit, Jodie Stimpson – in her second WTS race back after injury – was 13th. “I think I’m at my best having to run with Georgia, and as soon as we got on the bike, I was telling myself to be ready,” Zafares said, having only carved out her 11sec…

The most unpredictable men’s World Triathlon Series yet continued in Montreal as the little-fancied Belgian Jelle Geens out-sprinted world champion and training partner Mario Mola to take his first WTS victory. Advertisement The 26-year-old became the fifth different winner in five WTS races in 2019 and increased the chances of the world title coming down to a straight shootout in the Grand Final in Lausanne. Click Here: liverpool mens jersey Spaniard Mola was thankful to return to the podium after three disappointing races, and home favourite Tyler Mislawchuk was delighted with third for his first WTS medal. The only British competitor was Tom Bishop, who finished 29th, as WTS leader…

1. Only Taylor-Brown can stop Zafares: Few would begrudge the genial American a world title, especially after running Vicky Holland so close in 2018. And after her fourth win in five starts it looks – provided she stays fit to the finish of the Grand Final – that Britain’s Georgia Taylor-Brown is the only triathlete with a chance of toppling her. A Taylor-Brown triumph is the longest of shots, though. Her best route would be to win in both Hamburg and Edmonton to reduce the deficit to 286 points ahead of Lausanne’s finale. Another win in the Swiss resort would then gain an extra 1,250 points, but that would still only be…

In 1989 a certain tri magazine was launched in the UK, at a time when two-pieces were de-rigeur and sports nutrition was just in its infancy. Over the past three decades, 220 Triathlon has grown alongside the sport to become the nation’s biggest multisport magazine, championing its key players, providing the very latest training advice and reviewing the newest kit before it even hits the shelves.  Advertisement To mark our 30th birthday (no, we can’t believe it either!) we have loads of celebrations planned! And it all kicks off online on 8 July, when, to countdown to our special celebratory issue, we will be running a competition a day for 30 days. From race entries to coaching packages, tri…

The world-famous triathlon Challenge Roth takes place tomorrow and all British eyes will be on Lucy Charles-Barclay and David McNamee. Advertisement 2017 and 2018 World Ironman Championship runner up Charles will be hoping for one place better than last year’s second place. In 2018, despite setting a swim record with a time of 00:46:48, she finished just 9 seconds behind the winner Daniela Bleymehl (formerly Saemler) from Germany, in a time of 08:43:51 after an emphatic battle that went right up to the finishing line. “Last year I was unfortunately on the wrong side of nine seconds, which is why I’m back to put that right! But in my race last…

Non Stanford stormed to her first World Triathlon Series victory in more than three years and looks to be peaking at just the right time for the Olympic selection event in Tokyo in August. Advertisement The 2013 ITU world champion was in imperious form over the sprint distance in Hamburg as she broke clear on the 5km run to confidently defeat France’s much-heralded Cassandre Beaugrand, who won here last year, with USA’s Summer Rappaport in third. In wet and slippery conditions, series leaders Katie Zafares of the USA crashed out of contention on the bike, but her nearest challenger, Britain’s Georgia Taylor-Brown was unable to secure the win she needed…

British hopes ended on the tarmac in Hamburg as Australian Jake Birtwhistle defeated France’s Vincent Luis for his second World Triathlon Series win of 2019. Advertisement Jonathan Brownlee, Tom Bishop and Alex Yee were all caught up in crashes during the 20km bike leg of the sprint distance contest leading to Bishop finishing 38th, Yee, 43rd and Brownlee being unable to continue. None of the trio were seriously injured in the collisions, for which Yee will be particularly grateful, having suffered broken ribs, vertebrae and a collapsed lung in a high-speed bike crash when racing in 2017. Birtwhistle managed to avoid the main pile-up which took out not only Brownlee…
