International triathletes from 31 different countries came to Salford last year to contest one of the most competitive triathlon races of 2006. To preview the world coming to Salford later this month, local triathletes took part in a mini-triathlon at the state of the art Esporta gym on Salford Quays.
 
Each represented a different World Cup triathlon host nation, with the triathletes doing a 100m swim, a 3 mile indoor cycle ride and a 1 mile run. To help them on their way were local cycling hero Emma Davis Jones and professional swimmer Alex Scotcher.
 
Davies Jones hit the headlines in 2005 after being involved in a hit and run accident whilst training in Manchester. Despite having to re-learn how to walk, she won a medal for England at the 2006 Commonwealth Games. She commented: &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;m currently employed as a professional cyclist in Belgium but I&amp;rsquo;m delighted to be coming home to Manchester to support the Salford BG Triathlon World Cup.&amp;rdquo;
 
&amp;ldquo;It is a tremendous boost to British athletes to be able to race in front of a home crowd, and a great opportunity for people to see a live free sporting event in Salford.&amp;rdquo;
 
Retired Commonwealth champion, Scotcher commented: &amp;ldquo;I am working with Olympic medallist Steve Parry at Total Swimming, which is committed to raising the standards of swimming teaching in Manchester. I&amp;rsquo;m glad to be able to offer some support to stars of the future. I have settled in Manchester now, and am hugely excited by the prospect of a world class sporting event coming to our neighbour city, Salford. I am very happy to be supporting the Salford BG Triathlon World Cup.&amp;rdquo;
 
Last year 22,000 spectators came to the Quays to watch the triathlon. With four current World Champions, British Triathlon is riding high with just one year to go until the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Hopes are high for a home winner in Salford on 29 July.

Having competed in last year&#039;s high profile event against the stunning backdrop of Salford Quays, Tony is turning into a self-confessed triathlon fanatic and, though unable to compete this year, has his sights firmly on taking on the formidable full distance course next year, which includes a 1,500km swim, 40km bike ride and 10km run.

As a big supporter of Leukaemia Research, the event&#039;s adopted charity, Tony will once again be encouraging fellow cast members to take on the triathlon challenge as they did last year in this enduring multi-discipline spectacle.

Leukaemia Research is the only national charity devoted exclusively to improving treatments, finding cures and learning how to prevent leukaemia, Hodgkin&#039;s lymphoma and other lymphomas, myeloma and the related blood disorders, diagnosed in 24,500 people in the UK every year. Tony is part of Leukaemia Research&rsquo;s Banana Army running and triathlon team and last year the Banana Army&rsquo;s 10,000 members raised over &pound;1.5 million for the charity. 
 
This year&#039;s event sold out in record time, proving that it is well and truly established on the international circuit. Once again, the city will welcome some 200 elite athletes from across the globe as well as up to 500 age-groupers to compete on the renowned course at Salford Quays, which is set to be the home of the BBC and the internationally significant mediacity:uk.

Commenting on the event Tony said: &quot;I was really blown away by the event last year and by the adrenalin rush that came from competing. I&#039;m gutted that am actually away on holiday this year but at least that gives me plenty of time to get in training and prepare for the full distance next year.

&quot;This world cup event is also a fantastic means of raising awareness of Leukaemia Research and all the valuable work the charity does - we really hope people get behind the cause again this year and raise some serious cash.&quot;
