The gang’s finally all here! Joanne’s somewhere between the post-Kona high and a jet lag hangover, but that’s not stopping us from diving into what’s next.

First up: The World Triathlon Championship Finals in Wollongong. From the surprising upset in the elite race (and why it was surprising) to Katie's picks for the up-and-comers to watch and a few of our favorite para world champs.

Plus, a couple of the big headlines from the biggest week for World Triathlon:

• What's happening with T100?
• The new 2026 schedule
• And World Tri claims two new race disciplines: Fitness Racing and Swimrun

And of course, a quick update on the new 2026 Ironman World Championship qualification process and why people are upset.

Then we take our first look at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship start list. Yes, it’s definitely going to change in the coming weeks, but to begin: who’s in, who’s missing, and who might not make it to the start line.
