In his second instalment from Australia's Gold Coast, the 28-year-old takes us inside the training camp as Team GB prepares for the season's first race and an uncertain summer ahead.

Just like the rest of the world, triathlon has been rocked by Coronavirus. It's been the unavoidable topic of conversation for all of us out here, especially with the World Triathlon Series race in Abu Dhabi being just one among many cancellations. We are racing Mooloolaba World Cup tomorrow as our opener, but it will only just happen in time. As of March 16, the Australian government are cancelling any event with more than 500 people in attendance.

Great Britain and HUUB triathlete Tom Bishop has been a consistent performer on the World Triathlon Series for several years. As he prepares for what could be the biggest season of his career, the 28-year-old takes us Down Under on British Triathlon's pre-season training camp on Australia's Gold Coast.

Amid the uncertainty that the world faces in the light of Covid-19, business was sort of as usual on Saturday at the ITU Mooloolaba World Cup. Across the world, we were hearing of events being postponed and cancelled, but fortunately for those athletes on the Sunshine Coast, the green light was given for the first World Cup of the year.

With the postponement of the Abu Dhabi World Triathlon Series due to the uncertainty surrounding Covid-19, attention now falls on Mooloolaba World Cup which will kick off the 2020 season. Many athletes intending on racing Abu Dhabi WTS made quick decisions to jump on a plane to the Sunshine Coast to continue their quest for Olympic selection, a decision that may prove critical with the uncertainty of racing in the near future. The race in Mooloolaba comes just in time with authorities cancelling all major sporting events across Australia from the Monday following.

The Olympics will undoubtedly be the highlight of the year with many HUUB athletes taking the trip over to Tokyo. The qualification period for the Olympic games finishes in May 2020 after Yokohama WTS meaning it is still all to play for in terms of qualification. The first three WTS races, Abu Dhabi, Bermuda and Yokohama, will be pivotal for those seeking selection so we can expect some intense racing in the early part of the year.

As 2019 comes to a close, we take a look at the best moments from the last year...

HUUB’s Jessica Learmonth (GBR), Georgia Taylor-Brown (GBR) and Kristian Blummenfelt (NOR) soared to ITU Grand Final success over the weekend in Lausanne, Switzerland. For Blummenfelt it was his first WTS win after a string of podium placings over the last few seasons.

Ahead of the ITU World Triathlon Olympic Qualification Event in Tokyo, HUUB’s David Bishop talks about how Brits qualify, who is racing, and current uncertainty about the swim.
