Vicky Holland narrowly missed out on a place in the finals, finishing fourth in both stages of her heat.  

In the three-stage final Potter built up a five second lead over France’s Cassandre Beaugrand across the opening two races. That gave Potter the advantage in the third and final round but after the 200m swim and 4km bike the duo headed onto the last 1km level. But the Brit pushed on to finish over 30 seconds clear of second place Beaugrand, as American Katie Zaferes made up the podium. Morton finished eighth overall.  

In the men’s race Stapley topped his heat across both stages, finishing ahead of British pair Sam Dickinson and Dominic Coy, who finished second and third in both stages. Dickinson’s second place saw him make the final while Coy narrowly missed out. Harry Leleu and Hugo Milner both came through their heat to make it a quartet of Brits in the final. But Jack Willis, Christopher Perham, Joe Sherman and Marcus Dey missed out on a spot in the top ten.  

In the final both Stapley and Dickinson were in medal contention after stage one, finishing second and third respectively behind American Chase McQueen. McQueen’s advantage grew on the second stage as Dickinson was the highest placed Brit in fourth.  The third round saw Stapley finish quickest to earn himself second place overall. Dickinson ended the day in fourth, narrowly missing out on a medal as Milner and Leleu were eighth and tenth respectively.
