This week we are joined by the incredible Belinda Granger.

Belinda had an incredible pro career and now is the voice of triathlon working in commentary for some of the biggest races in the world.

We go through all the action from The Collins Cup breaking down the highlights from each match up over the weekend as well as Alistair Brownlee securing his Kona slot. 

We discuss the Lionel, Sam and Sam dramas, Daniela Ryf's domination, how dominant the Norwegians are and why the Danes aren't too far behind them.

This week we are joined by one of the best athletes on the planet. The current WTCS and Xterra World Champion and Olympic and Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Flora Duffy.

We discuss how things have changed for her since her Olympic win, what it is like to achieve the biggest goal of your life and what keeps you motivated to keep going afterwards.

We also preview all the action from The Collins Cup this weekend and discuss the news that Jan Frodeno will not be racing in Kona in 2022 and 2023 will be his last year in the sport.

As is becoming quite the pattern, when we start to doubt an athlete they make a triumphant return and prove us wrong!

That was certainly the case over the weekend in Swansea where Alistair Brownlee put together an amazing performance to comfortably win. That is just one of the races we recap this weekend as well as the new transgender athlete policy from World Triathlon, the return of Lucy Charles-Barclay and whether racing categories like cycling could work for triathlon.

Considering a big part of our audience probably doesn't know (or care) what the Commonwealth Games are, we are going to pretend like we don't spend a lot of time talking about the Commonwealth Games this week.

If we did talk about the Commonwealth Games though we would probably discuss all the drama from the men's race and the absolute domination of Flora Duffy in the women's race.

We do talk a lot about the announced captains' picks for the European and US Collins Cup teams and the controversy around the absence of Emma Pallant-Browne!

We wanted to see a battle between Kristian Blummenfelt and Gustav Iden in Edmonton and in the end, both races turned out to be action packed events that came to a head on the run! This week we look at all the action from Edmonton, preview the Mixed Team Relay at the Commonwealth Games and spend an alarming amount of time talking about the Brownlee brothers!

This weekend we will get to see some of the best athletes in the world go head to head at the PTO Tour in Canada.

Will we see Laura Philipp continue her incredible run of performances this year or will see her knocked off the top spot by someone like Emma Pallant-Browne or Ashleigh Gentle? The men is set to see world number 1, Kristian Blummenfelt face off against world number 2, Gustav Iden but they might not have it all their own way with a long list of triathlon superstars there to stage an upset. Will the return of Alistair Brownlee show us what we missed at Sub7 last month? Has Lionel Sanders learned all of the Norwegian secrets? Whatever happens we are guaranteed some exciting racing this weekend! We also preview next week's Commonwealth Games triathlons, the news that Frodo has a new secret weapon and Superleague Triathlon's crazy broadcast numbers.

Last week, minutes after we finished recording, the PTO released the points from Challenge Roth (last week we interviewed the winner) which saw Magnus Ditlev receive the most points of any male performance in history. The PTO called this the greatest ever performance!  So this week, we discuss this in detail. Was it the best ever performance? Or is that something that cannot be decided based purely on numbers and algorithms?

We also discuss the news that Jonny Brownlee will miss the Commonwealth Games, lots of baby news in the world of pro triathlon and some serious domination from Flora Duffy, Hayden Wilde and Danila Ryf over the weekend!

What better way to recap all the action from Challenge Roth than speak with the winner of the men's race, Magnus Ditlev!

Magnus talks us through his race, how it unfolded and what this result means for the rest of his year and goals moving forward.

We also discuss recent changes made by British Triathlon for transgender athletes, what Frodo pulling out of Roth means for Kona later this year and much much more!

It is one of the biggest races in the world and this year we will see two of the greatest long course athletes go head-to-head in Roth with Jan Frodeno coming up against Patrick Lange. They won't have it easy though with young guns, Sam Long and Magnus Ditlev there to cause an upset! We discuss all the action from WTCS Montreal, IronMan Frankfurt, Elsinore 70.3, Mont Tremblant 70.3 and IronMan Nice and why IronMan should give Flora Duffy a wild card entry to 70.3 Worlds this year.

The PTO have promised us that their tour races will see the best of the best race each other and it looks like they might be coming good on their promise as the first names are announced for their PTO Tour event in Canada. Will we see more Norwegian domination or will a local favourite take the win?

We also look at the ridiculous amount of races this weekend and wonder whether it would be better to have one pro race this weekend that everyone races at rather than many races with some good names at each?
