I don't think it's impossible they've picked Waugh as having more long term potential, and Sophie is appealling.

Apparently there was an appeal and it went in Waugh's favour.  Otherwise men's team is Yee & Dickenson, no Brownlee.  Then Potter, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Waugh.

Guess I was spot on. Can't imagine Coldwell got initial call and Waugh overturned it, the two were so close either was justifiable - which makes me think my original call was bang on. Tough on Codwel, but I think Waugh is probably a better future bet....

Seems like a very harsh call on Sophie. They both had a fair chance to prove who right now is the better athlete and that was Sophie.

 

Maybe they feel they don’t need 3 bullets with GTB back to health and Beth being Beth, and rather can focus on the future.

 

it will be a good experience for Kate and hopefully she can mix it with the front group!

World Triathlon Championship Series kicks off in Abu Dhabi later this month and the entry lists are up. It doesn't look like it will be the strongest international field - definitely missing some of the big :FRA and :GBR names.

 

It will be interesting to see whether any of the GB guys can come through to join Yee in the top tier.

 

Women's Entry:

Kate Waugh

 

Men's Entries:

Hugo Milner

Harry Leleu

Ben Dijkstra

Max Stapley

British Triathlon have confirmed the athletes on their World Class Programme for 2025:

 

Men's Squad:

Alex Yee

Sam Dickinson

Connor Bentley

Hugo Milner

Barclay Izzard

Dan Dixon

 

Women's Squad:

Beth Potter

Georgia Taylor-Brown

Sophie Coldwell

Kate Waugh

Olivia Mathias

Jess Fullagar

Sophie Alden

Tilly Anema

 

Vicky Holland leaves the programme after her decision to retire whilst Jonny Brownlee also leaves the programme after putting in sterling service to the sport in the UK. 

 

Jess Learmouth and Jack Willis will also drop out of the programme.

 

We should hear later about any additions to the squad - I am a bit surprised not to see Max Stapley on the squad given he is the British number 3 and is ranked 30th in the world.

1. Of course, after that who Lottry funded set are announced, it's the unfunded  Djikstra who is top Brit, with the unfunded Stapely second brit.

 

2. Putting WTCS behind a homegrown paywall is disastrous. Had no idea the season started this weekend, and much as I like the sport, I'm not paying a premium for it. Lot of short sidghted decisions recently in this field - see also the death of Eurosport.

I don't think the performance squad is finalised yet. GB Triathlon have confirmed the athletes who have been retained on the program but haven't announced any additions yet. I would expect to see Stapely move on to the performance pathway in the next announcement

Looks like Alex Yee will return to competition at the WTCS event in the French Riviera at the end of this month. He will be joined by Connor Bentley, Hugo Milner and Ben Dijkstra.

 

On the women's side, Beth Potter is on the start list along with Sian Rainsley, Olivia Mathias and Jess Fullagar.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
