After silver in Samarkand and then again at the European Championships last month, Frenchman Yanis Seguin was not to be denied on Saturday afternoon as he took the tape in Rome for a stylish debut World Cup win.

In a sprint-distance race that saw eight athletes unable to finish in tough conditions, it all came down to a shootout between Seguin and Luke Willian, the Australian currently standing fifth in the World Championship chase. Just as it looked like the Australian had found the edge, it was Seguin who discovered the decisive depths of power to dig into, clocking...

There was sunshine, rain, crashes and slips in Rome on Saturday morning, but out of chaos came the cool head of Germany’s Nina Eim, securing her second successive World Cup gold in the Italian capital.

Caution was key over the 20km bike, athletes coming off with alarming regularity, but after Eim and the chasers closed the gap on the leaders on lap three, there was something inevitable about the result. Alissa Konig of Switzerland established herself as Eim’s main threat by the midway point of the 5km run, only for the German to pull clear, Belgium’s Jolien...

A lot has happened in the world of triathlon over the 12 months since Nina Eim won the inaugural World Triathlon Cup Rome.

A 750m swim exits to the northern edge of the Lago dell’EUR and into a...

The 2024 World Triathlon Championship Finals head to Torremolinos on 17-20 October, and initiatives put in place surrounding the event’s suppliers, the banning of single-use plastics, accessibility and carbon neutrality, have all helped towards the event being awarded the World Triathlon Gold Certification for Sustainability.

Save for one tiny, insignificant problem, the World Triathlon Championship Series has ignited at the perfect moment. WTCS Weihai was the final opportunity for the athletes of the 2024 Series to improve their points total ahead of the season finale in Torremolinos-Andalucia and several athletes seized that chance with both hands. As a result, there have been several eye-catching shifts in the rankings with multiple players moving within striking range of a place on the overall podium. The small problem for the men’s field? Alex Yee’s quest for perfection is showing no signs of slowing down.

As a reminder, each athlete’s...
