With the women’s contracts still in negotiations, and some of the top triathletes not being able to commit to the showcase event, including the likes of Gold and Silver Olympic medalists, Gwen Jorgensen and Nicola Spirig who are currently pregnant, plus the limitations on numbers on Hamilton Island, the women’s racing will unfortunately not be part of the showcase event, but will very much be a part of the series with equal opportunity to earn top dollars.

UPDATED: We have spoken again to the Super League Triathlon crew who have been in discussion with many of the women and their official word is “Women’s championship racing will take part in Season 1! We have some of the world’s leading athletes under LOI and we are looking forward to announcing more details about the women’s championship series in the coming months.”
