Triathlon: Women’s Race

Georgia Taylor-Brown may not be as swift as she was during her silver medal win in Tokyo, but she’s currently focusing on high-altitude training. Beth Potter emerged victorious from the test event and is in top form. I hold a soft spot for Under-23 World champion Kate Waugh, although I don’t believe she’ll be contending for the top spots. The medals are likely to go to Potter and Taylor-Brown if the latter has managed to regain her race speed. Bermuda’s Flora Duffy is the defending champion but isn’t considered a favorite due to her extended injury layoff. Keep an eye on Lisa Tertsch from Germany, who boasts impressive running skills, and Cassandre Beaugrand of France, who possesses great talent. Annie Emmerson

BMX: Women’s and Men’s Freestyle Final

Champion Charlotte Worthington, victorious at the Olympics, has been battling to regain her self-assurance and peak performance due to injuries. Although she remains an exceptional equestrian, earning a medal this time around may be challenging given the remarkable advancement shown by Chinese female competitors, particularly Sun Jiaqi. Hannah Roberts of the US is also finding it tough to compete. In the men’s category, we expect Kieran Reilly to shine. Kieran boasts impressive tricks and immense power, but the race for gold will be fierce with formidable opponents such as Brandon Loupos and Logan Martin from Australia. The top-ranked contender is Anthony Jeanjean, who will have the advantage of competing on home soil.
