Helen Jenkins meets Rio qualification criteria

Published:

Following her win at the ITU World Triathlon Gold Coast, Helen Jenkins has met phase 4, 2.1 of the British Triathlon nomination criteria for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

To date, five athletes have met the nomination criteria. Subject to formal selection with Team GB, Jenkins will join Non Stanford and Vicky Holland in the women’s team, and Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have the criteria for the men’s team.

One slot remains in the men’s team. Performances will be assessed next month following the ITU World Triathlon Yokohama to fill the remaining quota place and nominate reserves. The team will be announced in early June.

British Triathlon would like to congratulate Helen Jenkins on her performance, and wish good luck to the British athletes competing this weekend in Cape Town.
