It's an action-packed weekend. The second event of the T100 series takes place in Singapore, and high temperatures and humidity will add another element to deal with as athletes look to build on their series ranking. This weekend, the Supertri E World Triathlon Championships will also be held at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London, with a first World Title on offer in 2024.
PTO previously visited Singapore in 2023 as part of the PTO Tour, where Ashleigh Gentle (AUS) and Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR) reigned supreme. Gentle is the most successful athlete over the 100km format, so undoubtedly, all eyes will be upon her. However, HUUB's Indie Lee (GBR) heads into the race fresh off her victory at Miami T100, where she put in a convincing performance to beat Lucy Charles-Barclay (GBR). Chelsea Sodaro (USA) and Lucy Byram (GBR) are other ones to look out for. The men's race is wide open. Magnus Ditlev (DEN), the winner in Miami, looks uncertain to race after a bike crash in training, which could leave the door open to the likes of Sam Long (USA), Jason West (USA) and HUUB's Alistair Brownlee (GBR), of whom Brownlee led for much of the race in Miami, perhaps an extra month of training and heat prep could put him in line for his first PTO victory. David McNamee (GBR) will also be looking for redemption following a DNF in Miami and could see himself in contention for a podium.
In London, HUUB is well-represented at the Supertri E World Triathlon Championships. The race, which took place at the London 2012 Olympic Park in recent years, saw some explosive racing. The swim is in the Olympic pool, while the bike and run sections are on smart trainers and curved treadmills. The racing will be available on Zwift, streamed on the Supertri website and via YouTube. Beth Potter (GBR) kicks off her 2024 season and will hope for a successful title defence as she builds towards Paris. While in the men's race, eyes will be on Hugo Milner (GBR), who has been making headlines in short-course racing and making his debut at Supertri.
