Talking Triathlon Tim Ford

The biggest decision in professional triathlon this year has been made as British Triathlon announce their full team for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
We discuss the reaction and problems with discretionary selection criteria. We also discuss the problem with age group drafting (more of a rant), Anne Haug races Nice 70.3 despite invoking the PTO injury clause and we unpack all the action from Ironman Cairns!

This week we are joined by a true legend of the sport, Tim O'Donnell to wrap up all of the action from T100 San Francisco.
We analyse some of the incredible performances from Kyle Smith, Marten Van Riel, Rico Bogen and Taylor Knibb as well as some of the more surprising performances from athletes like Sam Long and Alistair Brownlee.
James also goes deep with Tim O'Donnell all about his career and the current state of the sport.

The next round of the T100 Series is in San Francisco and we are previewing all of the action. 
In a true battle of short course v long course will Marten Van Riel continue his unbeaten streak or will Sam Long finally take the top step of the podium? Will the long awaited Alistair Brownlee v Javier Gomez match up live up to the hype or will Magnus Ditlev make a statement after coming back from a broken wrist?
In the women's race will Ash Gentle continue her winning ways or is Taylor Knibb just too good? India Lee will want to remind everyone of how good she was in Miami while Kat Matthews is a last minute addition who will surely mix things up.
We also discuss the announcement of the American and French Olympic teams and much more!

We review all of the action from Italy and get into the details of what this means for the Olympics. 
Do we know any more about who will race for France, Great Britain or USA? Will anyone be able to beat Cassandre Beaugrand or Alex Yee in Paris? Will Kristian Blummenfelt win another gold?
We also look at the T100 San Francisco start lists, Ironman Hamburg and ask why more women aren't racing the Ironman distance pro series races?

One of the biggest races on the short course calendar this week in Cagliari where we will see Alex Yee up against Hayden Wilde. Which athlete will have the edge in the lead up to Pairs or will Kristian Blummenfelt make up for his lacking performance in Yokohama? 
The British team will have a straight shoot-out in the women's field to secure the last two spots. Will it be Georgia Taylor-Brown, Kate Waugh or Sophie Coldwell? We look at the tricky situation for the US and French selectors as well.
We then talk about Anne Haug's amazing performance at Ironman Lanzarote, wrap up the action from the Challenge Championship and Chattanooga 70.3 and dissect the T100 Injury rules.

What a weekend in Yokohama with crashes, injuries and incredible results! We go through all the action from the opening round of the World Triathlon Championship Series and what it means for those trying to qualify for Paris.
The biggest news from the weekend is current World Champion Dorian Coninx breaking his wrist and elbow. We also look at the state of the women's American team and if Gwen Jorgensen can still make the team?
Mallorca 70.3 happened and both Gustav Iden and Youri Keulen DNF'd but there were still some great performances like women's winner Emma Pallant-Browne!
We preview The Championship and talk about Taylor Knibb qualifying for the USA Olympic cycling team.
