Alex Yee teams up with Brownlee brothers as Olympics triathlon stars head all-star supertri lineup
It has been announced that the athletes who won a total of 11 Olympic medals, three of which were gold, in Paris will be competing in the supertri League in 2024.
Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand, who won the individual gold medals, will be representing Brownlee Racing and Crown Racing in the upcoming competition.
Germany's Tim Hellwig, who won a gold medal in the Mixed Relay, is participating in the supertri event for the first time. The team he will be competing with will be announced later this week.
Also, Taylor Spivey and Seth Rider, who won a silver medal in the relay race for the United States, will be participating. Additionally, Hayden Wilde, who won a silver medal as an individual athlete, will also be competing.
Beth Potter and Léo Bergere won bronze medals in the individual and relay events. Georgia Taylor-Brown also claimed a bronze in the relay, along with Yee who earned a gold in the individual event.
Don Assembles Strong Team
The first complete team roster for the upcoming supertri event in Boston on Sunday August 18 has been announced, and it includes a combination of French style, youthful skill, and sheer strength from Podium Racing.
Podium Racing was bought by a group of investors fronted by John Anthony, the head of Podium Coaching Group, and is now run by Tim Don.
Don has shown that he is the most thriving manager in supertri by winning two out of the three Teams titles. He is continuing to use a successful strategy.
From his successful 2023 Eagles team, he has kept Jeanne Lehair, who is a strong competitor in the Women's League, and Fanni Szalai, the 16-year-old he has been guiding since she made a big impact on the international stage with supertri.
He also brought on board a former Eagle, Vittoria Lopes, whose impressive swimming skills give them a strong advantage, and signed French talent Leonie Periault.
In the male division, he continues to have Bergere, the supertri champion defending his title and now an Olympic bronze medalist, along with Matt Hauser, the Australian who has been a consistent competitor in supertri races from the beginning and is eager to win a solo championship.
He has made two clever decisions by bringing on board World Champion Dorian Coninx, who pairs up excellently with fellow countryman Bergere, and Kenji Nener, who not only has extensive experience in supertri but is also a valuable team player and hard worker.
Don is facing a challenge: keeping all the men satisfied, especially since three out of the four have their sights set on winning the Men's League title.
