The World Triathlon Championship Series is
World Triathlon's annual series of triathlon events used to crown an annual
world champion since 2008.
The seven-event
2023 series concludes with the final in Pontevedra, Spain, with the penultimate
race held in Sunderland for the first time. Points from the Paris Olympics Test
Event will also count.
The overall
champion is decided by an athlete's best four results, plus the championship
Finals.
The series opener was held in Abu Dhabi back in March with
Brits dominating the medals. Alex Yee secured gold in the men’s race and Beth
Potter posted her first ever series gold in the women’s competition. Compatriot
Sophie Coldwell finished in silver.
Yee & Potter
are both absent in Yokohama but Coldwell lines-up alongside reigning world
silver medallist Georgie Taylor-Brown, who is starting her bid for her first
world title.
Although
Commonwealth and Olympic gold medallist Alex Yee is missing, GB’s Barclay
Izzard & Jack Wills start in the men’s race in Japan.
