Interviewing Britain’s Sophie Coldwell for 220’s last issue [Pro Q&A] I asked about the importance of ‘getting on the wheel’ of Olympic champion Flora Duffy during the bike leg. “Or Taylor Knibb’s ,” was Coldwell’s rapid response.
It was a reminder that Knibb is making some impression at the senior level of this sport. Last year, aged 23, she became the youngest woman ever to qualify for the US Olympic tri team. Silver in the mixed relay followed, she set the fastest women’s time at the inaugural Collins Cup in Slovakia, and won the World Triathlon Grand Final in Edmonton.

How to Carb Load - Packing your working cells with carbohydrates in the build-up to your big race is a proven strategy to race stronger and faster...
Whichever distance triathlon you're racing, the intensity and duration of your activity will see your body tap into its stores of carbohydrates (in the form of glycogen) to power your effort. While it's possible to top up your tank on the go, it's better to start your event with your stores full to the brim.
The Olympic Champion - On 31 July, Great Britain's Alex Yee put together arguably the greatest one-day performance we have ever seen at an Olympic Games to win gold. And we were there at the finish line to speak to tri's new poster boy...
The opening line of the race report read how 20 years on from New Zealand’s first and only Olympic triathlon gold medal, Hayden Wilde had put in a careerbest performance to regain the title for his nation. Then Alex Yee comes around the corner.Yee’s charge, seemingly from nowhere on the final lap of the 10km run in Paris, didn’t just help him become the most decorated Olympic male triathlete of all time, and didn’t just cap a rivalry that has been building for six years, it left seasoned watchers of swim, bike, run in awe. It will go down as one of the greatest triathlon races; Yee, still just 26, as one of the greatest triathletes. His medals from Paris added to the two from Tokyo, leaving his haul at two gold, a silver and a bronze, and counting.
