supertri E London – Competition Format
60 athletes will compete at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at this dramatic one-day World Championship event in partnership with World Triathlon. There will be no margin for error. A series of heats in the morning will see only 10 men and 10 women make it through to the final in the evening for the chance to lift the supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by Zwift titles in front of a packed house at the iconic Aquatics Centre.
The heats will consist of two stages of swim, bike, run with a short break between them and a pursuit start for stage 2. The finals will be the full supertri E World Triathlon Championship format (Swim – Bike – Run // Run – Bike – Swim // Swim – Bike – Run) with a pursuit start in stage 3.
As well as World Championship titles, the event also contributes points to the World Triathlon rankings. Previous Arena Games Triathlon winners include Great Britain’s Alex Yee and Beth Potter . Australia’s Sophie Linn and South Africa’s Henri Schoeman are the champions from 2023. See below for the best moments from the 2023 series.
ONES TO WATCH
A host of names have been announced for supertri E London including Great Britain’s triathlon world champion and world number two triathlete Beth Potter
For the first time the world number one and two ranked women will go head-to-head following confirmation that French star Cassandre Beaugrand, the world number one, will also feature in London. The two are due to go head-to-head in Paris for Olympic gold, making for a fascinating showdown in the capital.
Joining Potter and Beaugrand are Team GB standouts Vicky Holland, (Olympic bronze medallist) and Georgia Taylor-Brown (double Olympic medallist). They are joined by 16-year-old Hungarian sensation Fanni Szalai. Szalai announced herself on the world stage when competing in the esports format in Switzerland last year. And expect American star and Olympic medallist Katie Zaferes to be in the mix as she looks to press her claim for Olympic selection.
In the men’s race all eyes will be on rising GB star Hugo Milner. The 25-year-old only took up the sport two years ago, but a remarkable run of form including a stunning win in Portugal last month has thrust him into the spotlight and talk of a potential Olympic call-up has started to grow. Germany’s U23 world champion Simon Henseleit wears the #1 jersey.
Strap yourselves in an exhilarating session of action-packed triathlon with MCs live on the ground together with big screens to ensure spectators can follow every second of the racing.
