:GBR Alex Yee wins the men's race

:NED Maya Kingma wins the women's race.

I think this is significant because Yee will probably win the last place on the GBR team ahead of double gold medalist Alastair Brownlee

Triathlon WS resumes this weekend in Montreal :CAN   It’s part of a Canadian double bill with Edmonton next weekend, sneaking in before cruel winter descends on the Land of Snows.  
 

They’re pioneering a new solo Super Sprint race format on Saturday, with a conventional Mixed Relay on Sunday.

As usual it’s PayTV only if you don’t have VPN access to the BBC website.

Knibb was very impressive on the cycling part. Duffy is on the same shape as in Tokyo but on this sprint event I don't think see can beat Knibb. To complete the podium I have my eyes on Lindemann but she will need a better cycling, at least stay in contact with Knibb and Duffy.

 

First surprise with Betto out, but she crash during T1 and this format is mistakeless

 

Without the best swimmer in the second leg it will be interesting to see if Knibb will dynamite the cycling too and if best runner can come back this time too.

This weekend sees the official Final Event of the 2021 Triathlon World Championship Series in Edmonton, :CAN. This is not the final TWCS event of the calendar year 2021, but the three postponed events from the early summer - Abu Dhabi, Hamburg, Bermuda - will now count towards the 2022 Champs. 

 

In the men's event, it's billed as a replay of the Olympic Final between Alex Yee & Kristian Blummenfelt, although many other combinations are mathematically possible.  In the women's, it is Flora Duffy versus :USA & the year's new discovery,  Maya Kingma :NED.

 

There are also U-23 races, which will be a one-off World Championship after the last two seasons were lost.  They're only available on PayTV though.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
