Two new Supertri champions have been crowned in Jersey!
Hundreds of visitors and islanders lined the Waterfront to watch some of the world's top triathletes in action.
The women's champ was French superstar Cassandre Beaugrand, with Brit Georgia Taylor-Brown coming second and defending champion Jeanne Lehair securing another podium finish.
Beaugrand said: “It was a good choice to race. I could stop my season right now as I’ve done everything I wanted. It’s been a pretty special season,”
Unfortunately, 2024 Paris Olympic champ Alex Yee suffered a snapped bike chain to cut short his hopes of winning the men's race, as he and Hayden Wilde shared a start line for the first time in over a year.
In the end, it was the Aussie, and world champion, Matthew Hauser who produced a top performance to come through ahead of Wilde and Mitch Kolkman, with defending champion Csongor Lehmann finishing fourth.
Hauser said: “I’m stoked to have finished it off and it’s good to have got my swagger back this weekend. It’s so good to be back at the home of Supertri in Jersey as well.”
Channel 103's Harry Booth was watching the action, and caught up with home grown talent Siena Stephens, who was handed a wildcard entry for the race:
