Probably the lowest level field ever in a World Cup event, but who cares ? First ever WC podium , Silver in today´s sprint in Yeongdo for the Košice native Romana Gajdošová, yeah, the one who missed Tokyo by 1 place)

 

so congrats Romana for writing the country history then

 

Spoiler

 

Also 3 Slovaks in top 12, yeah, the level of the competiton was very clearly disastrously low lol

Hey, we’ve got live coverage of the Hawaii Ironman Triathlon World Championships!  If test cricket is just too fast-paced for you….

 

Women’s race up first.  Big crowd considering it is 06:00 in

He's quite a strong athlete, but I assumed his main aim was 2028. Could he make a mad run at 2024?

I'd be surprised if Stapley was able to get himself into the top 30 to earn a quota place for GB - he is only counting 3 events from the first qualification period so he is starting from a pretty low base.

 

That being said, I do think he could have a chance of being selected for the team if GB are able to get 3 quota places for the men's event so that he could act as a domestique. He has no illusions that he is going to be challenging for a podium finish and instead knows that if selected, his role would be to protect and support Yee - a role he's shown that he is willing to do having taken that role in the WTCS final last month. I don't see either Brownlee or Izzard being willing to "sacrifice" their own chances of a top 20 finish in favour of Yee's chances to get a medal.
