Retirement plans for double Olympic champion Ali as the Brownlees struggle at Leeds Triathlon but victory for home girl Taylor-Brown PLUS IAAF rebrands as WA

We know Yorkshire loves it's cycling - but swimming and running returned to Leeds too as the city staged its 4th World Triathlon Series event. A weekend of competition for hundreds of participants and the world’s best tri-athletes! But some serious question marks of two of Britain’s best - Ali and Jonny Brownlee. The double Olympic champion led the way after the bike but had nothing in his legs - and talked about retirement afterwards - not yet but soon - Jonny had a stomach problem. We ask what next? Home girl Georgia Taylor Brown won her first gold with Jess Learmonth third and Non Stanford and Vicky Holland in the top 7. You can hear Rio medalist Holland’s views on how tight it’ll be for qualification for 2020! Jo Konta had never won a match at French Open but what a run to the semi-final - but did Jo blow it against the 19yo unseeded Marketa Vondrousova? Organisers also panned for poor decisions over scheduling. After 100 years the IAAF is no more - but don’t worry athletics fans its just been rebranded - hoping to reach out to a new generation. 'World Athletics’ with a WA logo - lets hope it’s not more like W1A! Caster Semenya is back on track after a Swiss court overturned the decision to make her take drugs to lower her testosterone. Dasher remains on top form after coming second in her first 100m of the season - Dina Asher Smith finishing behind the Olympic Champion in Rome. There’s more medal success for British sailors at Paris 2024 Olympic venue, and further gongs for the new chief of UK Sport and others in the Queen’s Birthday Honours. We’re unashamedly Olympic and Paralympic sport bias - and we’re on track for Tokyo too! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
