Not often Spanish domestic triathlon gets much coverage, but this one’s worth it, touch of the Alaphillipes.

We have another attempt to produce a new format for triathlon on Eurosport tomorrow, live from that home of all forms of sporting innovation, .  Some familiar names involved.

Slovakian weather letting us down - cold, wet & windy.  Didn’t realise this was the actual Danube they are swimming in. Long way from being blue, although the swimmers’ feet are.

yeah the weather is sadly not good last two-three days and the rain and cold is expected for the whole weekend until next Tuesday.

 

and yes, the Danube is rather known being a bit dirty river, everything in the Bratislava region is in fact

Decently entertaining but damn I hope they'll redesign the "international" flag for next time. Damn it's hideous!

Am getting a bit overwhelmed by the profusion of different triathlon formats, but all the big names who won’t be in Hamburg will be in, or on, Jersey  competing in the Super League Triathlon event there.  Live on BT Sport here in , highlights on Eurosport elsewhere.

Flora Duffy’s homecoming event in Bermuda scheduled for next month is a COVID casualty.  Hopefully a postponement rather than a cancellation.

Another two meet weekend. The world’s best are in Malibu  for the final race of the Super League Series.  For the strivers, it’s the European Championships in Valencia, .
