Olivia Mathias and Christopher Perham return to ITU action in Hungary on the back of each securing a golden ticket to the Super League Triathlon Championships in Poznan. With the event having been on the calendar for over 10 years, Perham was involved in 2018's memorably washed out men's race shortly after Sophie Coldwell had lifted tape in the elite women's final.
Coldwell isn't returning to defend her title but Mathias and Perham are joined by Sian Rainsley, Sophie Alden, Morgan Davies, Gordon Benson and Barclay Izzard on the start list, with Matthew Willis the sole British representative in the ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup. Both competitions follow a semi-final (Saturday)/final (Sunday) format.
