Build up to LA 2028 and World Triathlon ITU Thread

*Initial WTCS Hamburg start list- no Knibb for US (GS, Spivey, GJ, Ackerlund); John Reed / Pearson for US (who I think will make the MTR for the men). Sub out period still to be played out and US could still use a “ringer” with Knibb only racing MTR (would lose chance to gain individual points if that pathway).

Men- no Milner for GB

women- no GTB, Waugh in for GB

the french are funny they have 4 males at their home race and 5 abroad ( I guess they will sub in bergere)

and to milk the drama a bit is beaugrand afraid to race in germany lol ( iam just joking)

male race has everybody in it , 57th place in world ranking is first on the waiting list
and for females 61rst that is strong.

ha I didn’t even check the French, I just assumed CB would be racing (assuming she will in some capacity, so yeah). We gotta continue high five gate.

I would say the squad will be at altitude ( beaugrand, gtb, tapia )

I’ll bet that she got a spot for the Monaco Diamond League which is on the same day as Hamburg. The programme only has 3000m for women. She’s mentioned that another world title is not her priority this year. She also said that running in Monaco has always been a dream for her.

Milner is on the waitlist. Not top 5 British male since no pints due to crash in last WTS.

I was looking at the start list for the European champs this weekend.I ‘m a bit confused that Harry Leleu has a start number above Oliver Conway.

Anybody know what ranking they use for European start lists ?

I’ve heard that Cassandra wants to do diamond League.

it seems to be based on results from last years euros (top 10 from last year get pref number). and then maybe the great conti rankings lol

Weird.

TKnibb wont be there as her friend an ex teammate Kyleigh Spearing is getting married. So no Hamburg for her.

That’s a blast from the past name I haven’t heard since I was coaching her at the OTC for collegiate training. Good for her, she was such a great individual!!!

Will there be a stream for the Euro champs this weekend? Maybe on the ETU website?

Triathlonlive https://www.triathlonlive.tv/ streams both mens and womens from Tarragona this weekend.

Thanks, good to know.

do they stream AG too?

I am not entirely sure but I belive that the etu page does not show races anymore since end of 2025.

to add for the ones here that might not have triathlon live with a vpn you can watch it on rtve player .

btw I read about 100 000 people watch each world triathlon series race on teledeporte and rtve
player. not massive numbers but still .

Rtve would be in Spanish then?

Hoping triathlon live has English commentary

Beaugrand insta: “I’ll be lining up on July 10th for the Monaco Diamond League. :face_holding_back_tears::gem_stone::sparkles:

solid chance to break the French 3 k record by 10 seconds.

Very exciting especially with Faith Kipyegon running too. She almost broke the 3000m record almost at the same time last year so this could be another WR attempt. Jimmy Gressier willl also go for the French 5000m record. Then there’s the 800m where Cooper Lutkenhaus is an absolute phenom. The DL races have been honestly great this year.


God damn things got more exciting.
