Fresh off the back of her gold in the
Commonwealth Games team relay, and silver in the individual, Brit Georgia
Taylor-Brown is one victory away from retaining the championship title
for the second year.
However, she’s joint at the top on 56
points with American Taylor Spivey who’s also had a strong
championship, so it’s winner takes all.
Third and fourth place are currently held
by the two Brits Sophie Caldwell and Beth Potter.
Meanwhile, Wales’ Non Stanford who,
after a decade of medals of all colours, is retiring after this weekend’s race.
The men’s race is less tight at the top.
New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde has won three of this season’s four
events and looks set to add this title to his silver from Birmingham and bronze
in Tokyo last year.
Australian Matthew Hauser crashed
out in Malibu and hasn’t had the time to pick the points back up since, so
he’ll likely have to settle for second.
GB’s Jonathan Brownlee is also
in the race, currently in fifth, and he’s been vocal about his ambitions for
Paris 2024 so this is an opportunity to watch him prepare.
All you need to know about Super League Triathlon
BBC Sport
The best triathletes in the world
go head to head, racing for five teams - the sharks, rhinos, scorpions,
cheetahs and eagles.
The three-highest placed men and women from each
team at every race of this season's SLT will contribute the points earned as
individuals to their team's total.
Neom plays host to the athletes for this
grand final –a Saudi Arabian city still being built on the Red Sea, with most
of the land still a desert, it’s like nowhere else these athletes have raced
before.
The race is the Enduro format, meaning it’s
a swim-cycle-run on loop three times with no breaks.
It could go down to the last lap – who will
claim the title of Super League Triathlon Champion 2022?
