Super League Triathlon (SLT) notes that it is… ‘bringing together Olympic medallists, World and European Champions, hometown heroes and triathlon legends for its biggest ever Championship Series in 2022.’
Super League Triathlon pitches many of the world’s best short course athletes taking part in fast, race formats for a share of a US$1.8m prize pool.
Three-time Olympic medallist Jonathan Brownlee will be making his comeback from injury as Super League’s global five-event series kicks-off in London on Sunday, September 4.
Lining up against him will be the likes of Hayden Wilde, the Olympic bronze medallist, and SLT legend Vincent Luis.
The women’s field sees 2021 champion Georgia Taylor-Brown back to defend her crown fresh off the back of another gold and silver medal haul at the Commonwealth Games, with fellow Brits Beth Potter and Sophie Coldwell among those hoping to challenge her.
SLT adds that it continues to give a platform for up and coming talent, with youngsters such as Dan Dixon, Sergio Baxter Cabrera and Cathia Schär handed the opportunity to line-up against some of the sport’s biggest names.
Also included in the line-up is Marten Van Riel, who will miss the opening events through injury but hopes to return towards the end of the series.
In addition to the 20 men and 20 women announced, Super League can confirm the addition of wildcard athletes. The first names to be revealed are Cassandre Beaugrand, Richard Murray and Laura Lindemann, with more athletes to be announced.
