70.3 World Championship Review
Episode 111
This week on Talking Triathlon we unpack all the action from the 70.3 World Championships. We start with the overall event before discussing the broadcast challenges, including the acknowledged technical failure that meant the final 1.5 kilometres of the men's race were missed, even though it ended up being the most exciting moment of the entire weekend.
We break down the women's race, where Lucy Charles-Barclay claimed another world title, Taylor Knibb finished second, and Kat Matthews was forced to withdraw with a calf issue. Then we move to the men's race, which came down to a thrilling sprint finish as Jelle Geens held off Kristian Blummenfelt, with Casper Stornes securing third.
To wrap things up we look ahead to T100 Dubai, talk through why Hayden Wilde did not race the World Championships, and preview a strong field led by Hayden and Marten Van Riel in the men's race, with Julie Derron returning in the women's.
