It’s (almost) here. Having lost count of the false starts, delays and then a global pandemic, the inaugural Collins Cup – the flagship event of the Professional Triathletes Organisation will take place this Saturday, 28th August.

We know the teams: USA vs. Europe vs. Internationals.
We know the athletes: 36 of the world’s best.

But, who will be racing who in this Ryder Cup style head-to-head racing format?

That will all be decided today, Wednesday, and we are on-site at the x-bionic sphere venue in Šamorín, Slovakia to bring you the latest news, reaction, comment and more in this live blog.
