SUPER LEAGUE TRIATHLON – WOW WHAT AN EVENT!
October 6th, 2021
If, like me, you loved watching the Triathlon events at the Tokyo Olympics, particularly the team event won by the British quartet of Georgia Taylor-Brown, Jess Learmonth, Jonny Brownlee and Alex Yee, then you’ll enjoy the Super League!
I stumbled upon it flicking through the sport channels and watched a couple of the events, culminating in the final last weekend in Malibu.
For the uninitiated, Super League Triathlon comprised of 4 events this year in London, Munich, Jersey and Malibu, it’s a mixed men’s and women’s team event with the best triathletes in the world representing 5 teams.
The format comprises 3 stages of swim/bike/run at each event over much shorter distances than the Olympic race.
This year was a triumph for two of the gold medal winning British quartet, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee who came out on top individually.
The final event in Malibu had a spectacular ending, particularly in the men’s race with Alex Yee inching out Martin Van Riel on the line! You can watch that finish here

Having seen this year’s event, I’m really looking forward to next year, the format is exciting and has a few interesting twists in the rules. Congratulations to Super League Triathlon.
Have a look at their website which tells you much more
