This was the Elite Men start list for WTCS Weihai 2024 – you can click here for a full report and results after Alex Yee claimed a spectacular victory.

The epic memory of that Alex Yee vs Hayden Wilde battle for Olympics gold at Paris 2024 lives on, and these two triathlon greats will resume their rivalry in WTCS combat in Weihai on Friday (September 27).

Almost two months ago Yee somehow conjured up one final incredible effort to catch and pass long-time leader Wilde to claim gold in the French capital.

Since then the pair have met three times in supertri combat with Yee winning their first clash in Boston (complete with that Cole Palmer/Kylian Mbappe celebration) before Hayden claimed the last two – in Chicago and London.

Now they will lock horns again in the final ‘regular-season’ WTCS event of the 2024 season later this month – with only the finals in Torremolinos-Andalucia after that in October.

Also on the Weihai start list are a number of other stars who competed in that epic race in Paris – most notably French bronze medal winner Léo Bergere. He is joined by compatriots Vincent Luis and Pierre Le Corre plus Australian star Matt Hauser.
