  1. What is the World Triathlon Series?published at 15:39 British Summer Time 12 May 2022

    The World Triathlon Championship Series resumes in Yokohama on Saturday, 14 May and concludes in Abu Dhabi in November.

    It’s a fantastic opportunity to see the very best in the sport, including Olympic, World and European champions.

    With postponements and cancellations because of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021, the final two events held last year in Hamburg and Abu Dhabi count as the opening two legs of the 2022 season.

  2. Who should I look out for?published at 15:39 British Summer Time 12 May 2022

    Two of Britain's Olympic mixed relay champions will compete in Japan: Alex Yee, who finished third in last year's WTC Series and 2020 winner Georgia Taylor-Brown.

    Their gold medal-winning team-mate Jonny Brownlee - the 2012 world champion - and 2019 runner-up Jessica Learmouth will focus on later rounds of the Championship as they build towards the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in July.

    Bermuda's Flora Duffy, who was world champion last year, will start the defence of her crown, but Norway's Kristian Blummenfelt is sitting this round out.

    American's Taylor Knibb and Taylor Spivey, who were second and third in 2021, are set to be in action in Yokohama, while last year's runner-up Marten Van Riel of Belgium is down to compete in the men's race.
