There is a saying 'Ye of little faith’ which makes me reflect on everything we do here at HUUB - striving to be the fastest and the best, with a belief in the passion that competition and our sport brings. Find out how HUUB helped Alex Yee develop from the early days of his career to a victory at WTCS.

Leeds WTCS produced some fireworks to welcome the ITU circuit back to the North of England with HUUB’s Alex Yee (GBR) cruising to victory around Roundhay Park, to the long-awaited applause of spectators. A new look course provided the same thrills that we expect to see in Leeds as athletes took on the Olympic distance event. Jess Learmonth also made a bold step back onto the podium as the breakaway proved to be a winning formula yet again.

After a two-year Covid-induced hiatus from Leeds, the World Triathlon Championship Series returns to Roundhay Park, albeit on an altered course staying away from the city centre, the races are set to be as challenging as ever. With time running out on the Olympic qualifying period there will be a big emphasis for some athletes this weekend as they try and move as high up the rankings as possible. For others, this is a chance to kick off 2021 and prepare for the summer games. The star-studded line-up will certainly provide some entertainment as many of the World’s best athletes descend on the UK stop of the WTCS.

The World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) is finally back on our screens this weekend after a long absence. With restrictions still in place for several nations, some athletes have not been able to race since the end of 2019.

The event has great significance with Olympic qualifying starting this weekend. As the Olympics are taking place in Tokyo this year, it is a great opportunity for athletes to familiarise themselves with the same conditions and setup of what they expect to see later in the year.

The PTO Championships in Daytona took place over the weekend with Paula Findlay (CAN) and Gustav Iden (NOR) claiming victories. The attempt by the PTO to align the sport of triathlon with other major sports, by putting on a global event with a huge prize purse and world-wide media coverage seemed to be a success as the World’s best descended on Daytona International Speedway.

The PTO championships are finally upon us and not only does it look set to be the biggest race of 2020, but it also looks to be one of the most competitive races in the history of the sport. With only a handful of names missing and the inclusion of some of the biggest ITU stars, this weekend will be the most comprehensive showdown of the long course athlete vs. the short course athlete we have ever seen.

HUUB’s Beth Potter (GBR) and Alistair Brownlee (GBR) rounded out a challenging year in style at Valencia World Cup over the weekend. The fourth and final World Cup event took place on the streets of Valencia, with a number of the world’s best competing over the sprint distance event.

Brownlee showed signs of a return to the form we expect from the double Olympic Champion as he was narrowly beaten by current World Champion Vincent Luis (FRA). Meanwhile, Beth Potter ran away from the women’s field to claim her maiden World Cup victory.
