The World Triathlon Podcast

The penultimate stop of the regular 2026 World Triathlon Championship Series heads to Weihai, China on 29 September, with two very high profile names chasing the wins that would give them the perfect 4000 points score going into the decisive Pontevedra Championship Finals. So will it be mission accomplished for Matt Hauser and Cassandre Beaugrand or can Beth Potter and Lisa Tertsch, Alberto Gonzalez and Csongor Lehmann slow their rivals' seemingly unstoppable progress? The build up begins here in the company of our very own WTCS commentary duo Will McCloy and Belinda Granger!

The WTCS Hamburg weekend cooked up plenty of thrills and spills across the Championship Series, Para Series and Mixed Relay World Championships action. In this episode we go back into the mix, from pre-race penalties to unexplained pull-outs, transition crashes to super-sprint thrashes, as well as previewing the WTCS London on 25 July and saluting an all-time great as Flora Duffy announces her retirement.

With this weekend marking 25 years of top-tier triathlon action in Hamburg, the podcast welcomes back Will McCloy and World Triathlon's Kris Gemmell - themselves no strangers to the dangers of the infamous swim tunnel of despair - to preview the fifth stop of the 2026 Series and Mixed Team Relay World Championships. Unique insight, attempts at foresight, and a little friendly bite, it's the one-stop-shop for all your Hamburg preview needs before the action gets underway from 1.15pm CET on 11 July on TriathlonLive!

We take a spin through all the action from the WTCS Quiberon weekend, where Dorian Coninx's win couldn't stop Vasco Vilaça's stranglehold on the Series getting a little tighter and Cassandre Beaugrand made it four from four on home soil before the Mixed Relay took charge in fine style on the Sunday. From course question marks to the moto drafting drama and what is next for Alex Yee, the return of Tilda Mansson, rise and rise of Jolien Vermeylen and much more, it's all here on the World Triathlon Podcast as we continue the march through the 2026 Championship Series and look ahead to Tiszy!

We recap an action-packed weekend of Huatulco World Cup and European Championship Tarragona racing, and look ahead to the fourth stop of the 2026 World Triathlon Championship Series in Quiberon, where Cassandre Beaugrand headlines a home race, Alex Yee tries to reel in men's leader Vasco Vilaça, and the first Serie Mixed Team Relay takes over on Sunday.
