STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

World Triathlon Champion Beth Potter has been nominated for two Scottish Sports Awards following a magnificent season for the Leeds-based star.

Potter, who hails from Glasgow, has been nominated for both the Female Athlete of the Year and Moment of the Year awards, after she clinched the 2023 World Championship in terrific style last month in Pontevedra.

The Rio Olympian, who represented Great Britain on the track in 2016, met the qualifying criteria for Paris 2024 next year with brilliant wins at the Test Event and then at the WTCS Finals, with her selection to the team imminent.
