Following the confirmation that seven male athletes had been added to the T100 Triathlon World Tour roster, the Professional Triathletes Organisation’s (PTO) flagship series has now added a septet of female stars to its contracted athlete list.
Eight of the world’s best were confirmed in December, all of whom automatically qualified by placing in the 10 top overall during the 2024 season. The T100 added a further four ‘Hot Shots’ in early January, and have now confirmed the next seven contracted contenders.
Via the competition’s social media accounts, T100 has announced the addition of Emma Pallant-Browne, Caroline Pohle, Ellie Salthouse, Els Visser, Marta Sanchez, Grace Thek and Hannah Berry to its roster.
Pohle to make T100 debut
German Caroline Pohle will be a T100 Triathlon World Series debutant in 2025. The PTO World #13 claimed four middle distance race victories in 2024 including IRONMAN 70.3 Tallinn, IRONMAN 70.3 Zell am See and Challenge Barcelona.
Dutch talent Visser endured a busy 2024 with 16 races, one of those being a third place finish at the T100 Singapore event. The majority of her success came early in the year last term with wins at Challenge Wanaka, IRONMAN 70.3 Philippines and Challenge Taiwan Half.
Great Britain star Pallant-Browne perhaps boasts the best resumé of the latest additions. She has 27 middle distance race victories in her career and has a pair of IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship medals to her name.
Meanwhile, Madsen (finished 19th in the end of season rankings), Thek (28th), Sanchez (30th) and Salthouse (38th) will be eager to boost their standing this term.
