Alex Yee teams up with Brownlee brothers as Olympics triathlon stars head all-star supertri lineup

It’s been confirmed that the winners of no fewer than 11 Olympics medals in Paris – including three golds – will race supertri League in 2024.

Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand, who took the individual golds, will compete for Brownlee Racing and Crown Racing respectively.

And Germany’s Mixed Relay gold medallist Tim Hellwig is involved in supertri for the first time, with his team to be revealed later this week.

In addition, American relay silver medallists Taylor Spivey and Seth Rider will compete, as well as individual silver winner Hayden Wilde.

Bronze medallists are Beth Potter, who bagged the same honour in both the individual and the relay, as well as Léo Bergere, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Yee, who added a relay bronze to his individual gold.

Don builds formidable Podium squad

The first full team line-up to be revealed ahead of the opening supertri event in Boston on Sunday August 18 is Podium Racing – and it features a mix of French flair, young talent and raw power.

Podium Racing was acquired by a group of investors led by Podium Coaching Group supremo John Anthony and is managed by Tim Don.

Don has proven himself to be the most successful manager in supertri, securing two of the three Teams titles so far – and he is sticking to a winning formula.

From his victorious 2023 Eagles team he has retained Jeanne Lehair, a real contender for the Women’s League, and Fanni Szalai, the 16-year-old he has mentored since she burst onto the global stage with supertri.

He has added to that a former Eagle in Vittoria Lopes, whose gun swim power gives them a real edge, and nabbed French star Leonie Periault.

In the men’s he has kept hold of Bergere, the defending supertri champion and now Olympic bronze medallist, and Matt Hauser, the Australian who has been a supertri ever-present since the start, and is so desperate to win an individual title.

He has then made two shrewd moves, recruiting World Champion Dorian Coninx – who works so well alongside compatriot Bergere – and Kenji Nener, who is not only vastly experienced in supertri but a real team player and workhorse.

The big question for Don is whether he can keep the men all happy, with three of the four definitely having eyes on the Men’s League title?
