T100 series leader Lucy Charles-Barclay will get the chance to win her first T100 race on home soil, as the Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon announced the 15 contracted female athletes taking the start line for the London T100 Triathlon on 27-28 July.
After notching up second places in her first two T100 races in Miami and Singapore, Charles-Barclay – who lives in East London only a stone’s throw from the city-centre course – will line up as part of a five-strong cast list of British women all vying for the rare honour of a home win at the fourth stop on the new T100 Triathlon World Tour. It includes: herself, Emma Pallant-Browne, Kat Matthews, India Lee, and Lucy Byram.
With only 28 points separating the top 10 athletes in the T100 standings, any of them could win the 35 points awarded for first place in London and leap to the top of the leaderboard.
The race will also see German superstar Anne Haug compete in the series for the first time as well as the return of Triathlon GOAT Daniela Ryf from Switzerland, who finished 5th in Miami.
