Lievin Indoor Triathlon World Cup start lists revealed – who’s taking on Hayden Wilde and Cassandre Beaugrand?

STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

The 2025 edition of the Lievin T1 Indoor Triathlon World Cup is in the crosshairs of the world’s top short-course triathletes, with superstars Hayden Wilde, Cassandre Beaugrand, and many more on the start line.

Olympic silver medallist Wilde enjoyed a thrilling 2024 campaign, claiming second to Alex Yee at the Paris Games before winning the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) Grand Final in Torremolinos and claiming the overall supertri title. He is currently World Triathlon’s world number one as well.

On the women’s side Olympic champion Beaugrand is set to lineup in her home country. The 27-year-old had the ultimate 2024 season with that win in Paris followed by a first World Triathlon Championship Series crown.

Wilde’s season has started in the same vein as his 2024 campaign after claiming victory at the opening event of the 2025 WTCS in Abu Dhabi.

And the New Zealander will be keen to add to his early season medal collection in France, but he will face a highly talented field in the World Cup event over a unique super-short format.

Olympic bronze medallist Léo Bergere is a likely contender. He finished behind Great Britain’s Yee and Wilde in Paris, and beat his New Zealand rival at WTCS Weihai in September last year when finishing second, again behind Yee.

He did, however, finish runner-up to Wilde at the WTCS Grand Final and will be eager to reverse fortunes in his home country.

Bergere’s compatriot Dorian Coninx must also be regarded as a challenger for the podium. The 2023 WTCS Finals victor was a regular top five finisher in the series in 2023 and finished fourth in last year’s final in Torremolinos.

Meanwhile, a quintet of British talents are also scheduled to take part in the event – Sam Dickinson, Harry Leleu, Jack Willis, Hamish Reilly and Ben Dijkstra.

Beaugrand expected to put on a show

France’s Beaugrand certainly brings star power to the women’s side of the race. Her 2024 season was one for the ages claiming the Olympic individual title, the WTCS Grand Finals crown and winning four consecutive events to end the season.

It would certainly be difficult to look past the French star – she obliterated France’s 5km road record earlier this year and appears to be in top shape for the event which comprises a spectator-friendly format of a 200m swim, 2.8km bike and 1km run.

WTCS medallist, and fellow Frenchwoman, Emma Lombardi will provide one of the main sources of competition for Beaugrand. She finished third in Torremolinos and fourth in the Paris Olympics.

The German pair on Nina Eim and Laura Lindemann will also fancy their chances. The duo finished on the podium at WTCS Abu Dhabi in February and could be set for a German-French showdown with Beaugrand and Lombardi – in fact France are represented by eight athletes, and Germany nine for the event.

Three Brits will also be in the reckoning – Lara Atkinson, Isabella Hayes and Annabel Morton.

The elite racing will feature 120 men and women competing, with 12 athletes in each heat. The event format incorporates heats, semi-finals, repechage and finals.

The event will also offer elite athletes the same ranking points (500 to the winners) and prize purse ($60,000) as all other World Cups.
