Hamburg Wasser World Triathlon and Hamburg ITU Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championships

A seven-strong British Triathlon squad has been announced to compete at the ITU World Triathlon Series and the ITU Triathlon Mixed Relay World Championships in Hamburg this weekend.

Georgia Taylor-Brown, who has secured medals at the last three legs of the World Series, will be looking to further her experience in the sport as she takes on some of the world’s best triathletes.

The Leeds-based athlete will be joined on the start line by Olympian Non Stanford, World Champion Vicky Holland and World Series gold medallist Sophie Coldwell to complete a strong British female line-up in Germany.

In the Men’s race, Jonathan Brownlee makes his return to the World Triathlon Series stage with Alex Yee retuning to action after winning gold at the Accenture World Triathlon Mixed Relay Nottingham. Thomas Bishop will be looking to build on his Top 15 finish at last month’s AJ Bell World Triathlon Leeds.

You can watch Saturday’s race via the BBC (Connected TV and online), coverage schedule currently to start at 12:40 and 15:10 for the women’s and men’s races on Saturday (UK-time), respectively. The BBC Red Button / online coverage will start around 08:10 on Sunday morning.

Mixed Relay makes it return to the ITU calendar this time in Hamburg as 19 international teams compete for qualification points ahead of the event making its debut at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Having finished fourth in Hamburg last year, the British team will be looking to further their experience this time around as they continue to develop in the newest Olympic format.
