Alex Yee made a somewhat underwhelming return to the WTCS with a 9th place finish in the French Riviera event. It was a sprint event rather than full Olympic distance.  He had the 2nd fastest 5km run but he'd already lost a minute on the swim and bike legs to eventual winner Matt Hauser.

 

Connor Bentley came home in 17th whilst Ben Dijkstra was 19th.

 

On the women's side, Beth Potter was 5th, Olivia Mathias 12th and Sian Rainsley 15th. Jess Fullagar was the last of the Brits, coming home in 19th place. 

 

The next stop in the series is  Karlovy Vary in a couple of weeks time. 

 

Max Stapley, Hugo Milner, Oliver Conway, Jack Willis and Harry Leleu are on the start list for the men's event whilst Kate Waugh, Olivia Mathias, Sian Rainsley, Jess Fullagar and Beth Potter line up in the women's event.

Beth Potter back on top of the podium with victory at the WTCS event in Karlovy Vary. 13 seconds ahead of  Taylor Spivey and almost a minute ahead of 3rd placed  Lisa Tertsch.

 

Olivia Mathias finished in 9th whilst Sian Rainsley rounded out the top ten. Jessica Fullagar was down in 19th place.

Oliver Conway looks the real deal, good swim & bike but a stonking 10,000m to finish.

He's been on the radar a couple of years now, some ridiculous results for a 19/20yo. Also worth noting Kate Waugh had a big win in the T100 over the weekend; a number of major triathletes whose season was broken up leaving them out of the WTCS reckoning prioritised the T100

With Abu Dhabi being postponed,  Samarkand will be the first leg of the WTCS later this month.

No Alex Yee in the field - he's opted to act as pacemaker for Emile Cairess at the London Marathon on the same weekend.
