With all the excitement over the NCAA women’s basketball championships last weekend, it should come as no surprise that much of the hype for tomorrow’s supertri E World Triathlon Championship will focus on the women’s race, too. World champion and Olympic favourite Beth Potter (pictured above – right – competing at the Arena Games in 2022) and French Olympic favourite Cassandra Beaugrand highlight the women’s field that also includes Olympic medalist Vicky Holland (bronze at the Rio Games) and Tokyo 2020 bronze (individual) and silver (mixed relay) medalist Katie Zaferes (USA).
The men’s field doesn’t include as much firepower – Britain’s Hugo Milner and American Chase McQueen are two of the favourites heading into tomorrow’s race.
