Great Britain

:02:00. > :02:05.Hello and welcome to Hyde Park, for a whole afternoon of high octane

:02:06. > :02:11.action. The world 's best triathletes are in London for round

:02:12. > :02:13.four of the 2014 World Triathlon Series and the thousands of

:02:14. > :02:17.spectators who have turned out to show their support are in for a real

:02:18. > :02:20.treat because they will get to see the men's and women's races

:02:21. > :02:25.back-to-back. The elites will be rating the shorter sprint distance,

:02:26. > :02:36.it will be fast, furious, here is what you can expect.

:02:37. > :02:39.Jodie Stimpson currently leads the series rankings after two wins from

:02:40. > :02:42.the first three races. She tells us what it is like to be on top of the

:02:43. > :02:47.world. The brave run on this course in 2012 was the start of an injury

:02:48. > :02:50.field former world champion Helen Jenkins she is back and ready to

:02:51. > :02:55.make an impact once again. London has been a significant course

:02:56. > :03:01.in the young careers of the Brownlee brothers, we get them together to

:03:02. > :03:06.talk Hyde Park. But it is Spain's Javier Gomez who

:03:07. > :03:10.leads the way in the men's competition with three wins out of

:03:11. > :03:15.three. London is the fourth stop in the

:03:16. > :03:19.eight race World Triathlon Series and just encase you need a reminder

:03:20. > :03:27.of what has happened in the previous events here is a re-of the season so

:03:28. > :03:30.far. -- re-. Jodie Stimpson got the season

:03:31. > :03:34.started in style with a dominant victory in Auckland while Helen

:03:35. > :03:40.Jenkins was back to secure a podium finish on her return. Johnny Bramley

:03:41. > :03:47.had to settle for second following a strong finish from having a Gomez --

:03:48. > :03:54.Jonathan Brownlee. It was a similar story in Cape Town

:03:55. > :03:58.as Gomez had too much for Johnny in the closing stages but there was a

:03:59. > :04:06.British 1-2 in the women's race as Jodie outsprinted Helen to make it

:04:07. > :04:11.to an array of. -- two in a row. Onto Yokohama and Jodie's run was to

:04:12. > :04:15.come to an end in dramatic fashion. There is trouble for Jodie Stimpson.

:04:16. > :04:24.She finished in ninth place and instead it was a first victory for

:04:25. > :04:31.when Jorgensen. She will win round three of the 2014 World Triathlon

:04:32. > :04:34.Series at a canter. The Brownlee brothers raced together

:04:35. > :04:39.for the first time in 2014 but neither made the podium, the winner

:04:40. > :04:46.would be decided in a Spanish sprint for the line. It is Gomez, Mola.

:04:47. > :04:53.Which one will take the win? Sprint finish for the line, it is Gomez.

:04:54. > :04:58.Three in a row. The men's race starts in about 25

:04:59. > :05:02.minutes and the men are in the water warming up right now. The women will

:05:03. > :05:06.dive into the water just after 4pm and you will be able to see both

:05:07. > :05:13.races in their entirety right here on BBC One. Stuart Hayes and Annie

:05:14. > :05:14.Emerson, part of our commentary team, will be with us. Let's have a

:05:15. > :05:25.look at the men's standings. Javier Gomez is leading the way.

:05:26. > :05:33.Jonathan Brownlee is ranked number two with two silvers. Alistair is

:05:34. > :05:35.down in 16th. Only one race under his belt in which he didn't make the

:05:36. > :05:47.podium. Heavy you Gomez is flying. He has

:05:48. > :05:50.had a fantastic season, but with it being a

:05:51. > :05:51.had a fantastic season, but with it to win but he is

:05:52. > :05:54.had a fantastic season, but with it athlete in the world, I am sure he

:05:55. > :06:00.will get on the podium. Has the men's race surprised you? It has.

:06:01. > :06:10.Gomez probably hasn't been pushed yet. The Brownlee brothers

:06:11. > :06:14.Gomez probably hasn't been pushed What has been noticeable is how much

:06:15. > :06:19.Gomez comfortably beat Johnny in the first couple of races. He does make

:06:20. > :06:25.it look so easy, he has got the hair, the time. But the Brownlee

:06:26. > :06:30.brothers are aiming for the Commonwealth Games so I think they

:06:31. > :06:33.will push him. It is unusual for us not to see both of them on the

:06:34. > :06:38.podium and they both start but that is what happens in Yokohama.

:06:39. > :06:41.Everybody is thinking is that the end of that era? Of course it is

:06:42. > :06:45.not. We are used to seeing them on the top of the podium for the

:06:46. > :06:50.Alistair has been out with injury. They have both had a chance to come

:06:51. > :06:54.back and rest. Hopefully they will be finding their form soon.

:06:55. > :06:58.Interesting to see what happens. Hyde Park has been very significant

:06:59. > :07:07.for both the Brownlee brothers, they have been reminiscing.

:07:08. > :07:15.In 2012, all those people, that they feel is unreal. And then to go back

:07:16. > :07:23.to Hyde Park without that is a little weird. You kind of thing, did

:07:24. > :07:32.that really happen? I am not very superstitious, but one cold night I

:07:33. > :07:40.ran a lap of the park. There was literally no one. It was very

:07:41. > :07:50.sobering. Time to move on. This is just a park.

:07:51. > :07:53.Let's look ahead to London. When two of you race there always something

:07:54. > :07:57.dramatic happens. Obviously it is the home race. I

:07:58. > :08:04.have had three of my best ever races and two of my worst. Only extremes.

:08:05. > :08:09.You had your second World Triathlon Series race in 2009. Still junior,

:08:10. > :08:19.and a different of the pack, Alistair one. I ran every race that

:08:20. > :08:25.year. The strange sight in Yokohama, for

:08:26. > :08:29.Brown Davies, neither of you on the podium. Is it a blip or is it

:08:30. > :08:33.something people should be worried about?

:08:34. > :08:38.For me it was a sense of tiredness, I had been travelling, Auckland and

:08:39. > :08:43.home, Cape Town and back, Yokohama and back. Humility tiredness, maybe

:08:44. > :08:46.a bit of overtraining during the winter, I was a bit more on edge

:08:47. > :08:51.when I turned up. You have to learn from these things. There are

:08:52. > :08:57.probably ten little things that all combine on a good day, on a not so

:08:58. > :09:04.good day, you are in a bit of trouble.

:09:05. > :09:11.2010, Alistair, have you found out why you had that collapse? 200,

:09:12. > :09:18.three and metres to go, I thought it would be all right. And then I just

:09:19. > :09:22.blacked out, I'd remember anything, I woke up in the medical tent

:09:23. > :09:29.hospital bed. I remember crossing the finish line, I didn't realise

:09:30. > :09:38.how serious it was at the time. It was he straight, a Thomas. --

:09:39. > :09:44.heatstroke. As Gomez done anything differently this winter, tried to

:09:45. > :09:50.address any witnesses he has had? I am not sure, I would like to ask,

:09:51. > :09:54.but he wouldn't tell me. I think he is very solid, I don't think there

:09:55. > :10:01.is anything spectacular. Johnny has been a bit tired and hasn't raced to

:10:02. > :10:07.the best of his ability for the --. Hopefully an anomaly. First and

:10:08. > :10:12.third for the Brownlee boys in Hyde Park.

:10:13. > :10:17.Looking back at that, that was my first real good race, under pressure

:10:18. > :10:19.as a senior. Basically a race between me and Gomez again, to try

:10:20. > :10:29.and comfort. That would qualify me for the Berecz. -- for the Olympics.

:10:30. > :10:36.You will be peaking later in the series. Gomez has come out quick. We

:10:37. > :10:40.hope so. The Commonwealth Games is massive for us, bigger than the

:10:41. > :10:48.World Series. I don't really want to, flying in April, May, I want to

:10:49. > :10:52.win Commonwealth medal. The 24-year-old Alistair Brownlee, the

:10:53. > :10:58.Olympic triathlon champion. Do you think about the 2012 and six

:10:59. > :11:01.much? You think about it quite a lot, eager to Hyde Park and you are

:11:02. > :11:05.running up the finishing straight of the Olympics, you can do it as often

:11:06. > :11:12.as you want. We go back once a year, when and Hyde Park, probably ten

:11:13. > :11:18.times a year. A constant reminder. 2013 was really tough. I knew my

:11:19. > :11:25.ankle was pretty sore, you just hope it would be all right. I think you

:11:26. > :11:31.down I knew it wasn't going to be. I have looked back at that race a

:11:32. > :11:35.lot, I knew I had to beat Gomez. He came down to the sprint finish, I

:11:36. > :11:41.was pretty confident. I gave him the perfect leader and he came past me

:11:42. > :11:44.with ten metres to go. I am paid to do everything I can to not get

:11:45. > :11:51.beaten. Sprint are normally my forte. You beat Alistair in Hamburg

:11:52. > :11:59.last year. I did want to beat him in a sprint.

:12:00. > :12:06.We are not used to seeing them be fallible, by their own high

:12:07. > :12:11.standards. Was Yokohama just a blip, as they said? We haven't seen them

:12:12. > :12:15.dominate this season, it wasn't a blip, it is a long season, eight

:12:16. > :12:19.races. It is really tough to keep your body in one piece throughout

:12:20. > :12:24.the season, today is where they are going to shine, it is a home crowd,

:12:25. > :12:29.their friends and family watching, it will be super exciting.

:12:30. > :12:34.Of course they have the added air balloon -- element of wanting to

:12:35. > :12:39.peak for the Commonwealth Games. Gomez hasn't had to. He could hit as

:12:40. > :12:43.early races might harder. Looking at the sprint distance, that will play

:12:44. > :12:47.into the likes of Jonathan Brownlee's hands, a two-time sprint

:12:48. > :12:54.world champion. This is his favoured distance. Jonathan hasn't won on

:12:55. > :13:05.this course before. Will a sprint distance give Jonny that extra

:13:06. > :13:12.chance? He has got a bit more fire in his belly, let's see what

:13:13. > :13:16.happens. They took to the schedule, the rules have changed for the World

:13:17. > :13:22.Triathlon Series engine after racing five series and the grand final, you

:13:23. > :13:28.have to be there all season to be champion. It has been very tough,

:13:29. > :13:31.they started out in Auckland, South Africa, Yokohama. The time

:13:32. > :13:35.difference and the travel has been really tough on them. This is a

:13:36. > :13:40.sprint distance and anything can happen. Let's not forget Mario Mola.

:13:41. > :13:44.He won that race in new Plymouth where he beat Gomez and that was a

:13:45. > :13:50.sprint distance. How would you have tackled this season if you had had

:13:51. > :13:54.the series and the Commonwealth games developers on? I would have

:13:55. > :13:59.avoided the early-season races and this would have been my focus,

:14:00. > :14:05.because come the end of July, still a long time, a lot of training needs

:14:06. > :14:08.to be done. That is triathlon. That is what Alistair is trying to do.

:14:09. > :14:11.Let's hear from the man that is going to be wearing number one on

:14:12. > :14:25.the start line, current world champion and current series leader

:14:26. > :14:29.Mahaffey a Gomez. -- have. Welcome back to London. What a year you have

:14:30. > :14:33.been having. Started very good, better than I expected. The first

:14:34. > :14:42.two races have been amazing, going the right way to get a fourth title.

:14:43. > :14:44.Halfway, so many races to go. Does it feel good to be back here, the

:14:45. > :14:48.place where you wonder World Championships title? Definitely,

:14:49. > :14:54.always great to race in London, good memories here, got my Olympic medal

:14:55. > :15:00.here, and last year had an amazing sprint finish that I finally one.

:15:01. > :15:06.Great to race here in London, Hyde Park, I hope there will be a lot of

:15:07. > :15:10.people cheering and we can put on a good show. What is your secret, why

:15:11. > :15:14.have you started so well, what did you eat during the winter? I have

:15:15. > :15:23.been training well, consistently, no injuries, no health problems. I was

:15:24. > :15:26.a bit lucky in races as well, things worked well for me. I am enjoying

:15:27. > :15:32.this moment. The Brownlee have spoken about their frustration

:15:33. > :15:53.about the series schedule, how do you feel? I would agree with them.

:15:54. > :15:57.We are not machines. We are humans. It is easy to get injuries or get

:15:58. > :16:04.sick. It will be a tough season for everybody. We are just trying to do

:16:05. > :16:14.the best we can. We hope they make a better calendar for next year, the

:16:15. > :16:22.ITU. Know you are playing on a course in London for only you and

:16:23. > :16:28.Alistair have competed in before. I have three wins, so I am confident.

:16:29. > :16:34.But I am realistic as well. Both Brownlee brothers will get better

:16:35. > :16:44.and better. Yokohama was Alistair's first race. I have been racing both

:16:45. > :16:47.of them for many years. The fact that they got fourth and fifth in

:16:48. > :16:54.Yokohama doesn't mean anything. They can be first and second year, so I

:16:55. > :17:11.need to work hard. Cavalier Gomes will not be complacent. -- Javier. I

:17:12. > :17:21.am joined by the editor of a triathlon newsletter. You believe we

:17:22. > :17:26.are in a golden era? Absolutely. To have a situation for you have three

:17:27. > :17:28.athletes who are right at the top of their game, right at the peak of

:17:29. > :17:34.their careers, and all of them still have an opportunity to improve, as

:17:35. > :17:43.we have with Javier, Alistair and Jonathan, it is a magnificent time.

:17:44. > :17:52.It really is a golden era. Statistically, when they all enter a

:17:53. > :17:57.triathlon together, one of them wins? Absolutely. It is quite

:17:58. > :18:04.amazing. Individually, they have on statistics. We have 132 out of 38

:18:05. > :18:12.races. When all of them have been there, of which they have done 15

:18:13. > :18:20.times, one of the three of them has won the race each of those 15 times.

:18:21. > :18:23.You're comparing that to the situation we have in tennis with

:18:24. > :18:32.Roger Federer, Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Absolutely. A couple of

:18:33. > :18:40.years ago, we had a guy who had been dominating, real classy guy, you had

:18:41. > :18:47.to love him, Roger Federer. That is Javier. You cannot not like him. I

:18:48. > :18:51.genuinely admire him. Then in tennis you had Nadal who came along, that

:18:52. > :18:58.is Alistair Brownlee. He will do anything to win. How do you break

:18:59. > :19:06.into that? That is where Jonathan comes along. Trying to crack those

:19:07. > :19:14.top two. He finally cracks it. So then you have three guys, Javier,

:19:15. > :19:21.Alistair and Jonathan, just like you have in tennis. It is magnificent

:19:22. > :19:32.for the sport. We need to recognise that in the way that we had Chris

:19:33. > :19:39.Eubank in boxing and Sebastian Coe in athletics. A golden age for

:19:40. > :19:44.athletics. Back to you. You agree that this is a golden age?

:19:45. > :19:50.Absolutely. With Richard Murray thrown into the back -- thrown into

:19:51. > :19:56.the mix, this is going to new heights. This is definitely a golden

:19:57. > :20:04.era for our sport. What is it like racing with these boys? It is

:20:05. > :20:10.fantastic. Look at the crowds. Back in the 1990s, I used to be here on

:20:11. > :20:20.my own. These days, hundreds of people are watching, sometimes

:20:21. > :20:26.thousands. In Yokohama, Richard Murray was on the podium alongside

:20:27. > :20:38.Javier. He will be looking to crash the party again today. Murray is

:20:39. > :20:44.soaking it all in as he celebrates his podium place. Does finishing

:20:45. > :20:50.ahead of both Brownlee brothers give you some more confidence for London?

:20:51. > :20:56.I wouldn't say so. I know my capability. We have looked at the

:20:57. > :21:09.statistics. I would not say there is a Big Apple train as. There are five

:21:10. > :21:14.of us -- I would not say there is a big gap between us. There are five

:21:15. > :21:22.of us who are very close. Richard and I race pretty similar. We are

:21:23. > :21:32.not the best swimmers. We have to work on the bike to have a chance of

:21:33. > :21:40.winning are finishing on the podium. We spend a lot of time training

:21:41. > :21:47.together, so that help is. When running, we tend to egg each other

:21:48. > :21:51.on. Sometimes we egged each other on too much and end up destroying each

:21:52. > :21:56.other at the end, but it is always fun when someone has the same goal

:21:57. > :22:09.in mind. Over the past two years, how hard has it been to be you, just

:22:10. > :22:13.on the edge of that trio? That is the way other athletes can keep

:22:14. > :22:20.improving, they have brought the sport to another level. We work and

:22:21. > :22:26.train as hard as we can. We want to be close to them. What is your aim

:22:27. > :22:31.for the series this year? I want to finish in the top four. I have been

:22:32. > :22:41.fifth for the last couple of years. I am sick of fifth-place! In

:22:42. > :22:48.Yokohama, I was thinking that if I didn't come fifth then I had one! I

:22:49. > :22:56.was pleased to come third. -- then I had won the race. Do you think we

:22:57. > :23:06.will see either of them on the podium? Possibly. They are both

:23:07. > :23:15.fantastic runners. Richard is a fantastic swimmer. The Slovakian,

:23:16. > :23:23.the fastest swimmer in the world. That is correct. And he has great

:23:24. > :23:31.friends with the Brownlee brothers. The Brownlee brothers will take over

:23:32. > :23:35.on the bike. You are a training partner with Alistair and Jonathan.

:23:36. > :23:40.I know you have a good Yorkshire accent. What do you think the

:23:41. > :23:43.conditions will be like today? The sprint distance should favour your

:23:44. > :23:51.racing style? I am better for Sprint. I will try to swim hard. I

:23:52. > :24:02.run. What about the Brownlee run. What about the Brownlee

:24:03. > :24:08.result in Yokohama? They will try to race as hard as possible. They will

:24:09. > :24:19.give everything they have got. It will be a fast and exciting race.

:24:20. > :24:25.For sure. It will be interesting to get the medal positions. So Richard

:24:26. > :24:35.Varga is part of the tactics today. What else will we see? The first

:24:36. > :24:43.year, it was a sprint distant race -- distance race, half of the

:24:44. > :24:48.Olympic size. The bike will be fast on the corners, so people will have

:24:49. > :24:54.to watch out. What difference does it make in terms of training for a

:24:55. > :25:02.sprint distance? You could be less fit, I guess? Most of the races are

:25:03. > :25:13.Olympic distance. Perhaps over the last couple of weeks they will have

:25:14. > :25:17.been doing more sprint to network. They are now introducing the

:25:18. > :25:22.competitors. There is Jonathan Brownlee. They are wearing wet

:25:23. > :25:29.suits. It is a lovely sunny day, but the water is not very warm. It is

:25:30. > :25:36.currently 15 degrees. The wet suit will keep them nice and warm. That

:25:37. > :25:42.will give people extra buoyancy. It is a sprint distance, so those who

:25:43. > :25:48.are strong in their swim cannot make too much of a difference, Canvey?

:25:49. > :26:00.No, but Richard Varga really likes to take the swim out fast. -- can

:26:01. > :26:06.the? Who do you think will be on the podium? I think the same as the

:26:07. > :26:12.Olympic Games. Alistair, then Javier Gomez, then Jonathan. It is time to

:26:13. > :26:18.join our commentators to see if that prediction is correct.

:26:19. > :26:26.It is a real delight to be back in Hyde Park for this World Triathlon

:26:27. > :26:37.Series. There is a confident looking Javier Gomez. There will be a single

:26:38. > :26:47.lap in the Serpentine this year. 750 metres in the water. This year, they

:26:48. > :26:51.do not leave the park. At the Olympics and last year, the

:26:52. > :26:55.do not leave the park. At the down to the palace, but this year

:26:56. > :27:01.they stay in the boundaries of Hyde Park for a

:27:02. > :27:04.they stay in the boundaries of Hyde give them a total distance of 20

:27:05. > :27:13.kilometres. Then the run is 5000 metres. Two lapse to conclude the

:27:14. > :27:15.triathlon. The Brownlee brothers down on the pontoon. Javier Gomez,

:27:16. > :27:19.the Spaniard, is down on the pontoon. Javier Gomez,

:27:20. > :27:27.All eyes at the start of the swim will be of course on Richard Varga.

:27:28. > :27:32.He is Number Ten, the Slovakian super swift swimmer. He will be

:27:33. > :27:39.hoping to carry the Brownlee brothers through to a first five

:27:40. > :27:43.position as they exit the water. The swim is expected to take under ten

:27:44. > :27:51.minutes. Then they will head to transition to pick up the bikes. The

:28:00. > :28:03.men, there are a total of 66 elite athletes due to start. They jog to

:28:04. > :28:12.the starting position, passed through their bikes are parked up

:28:13. > :28:16.ready for the first transition. Hyde Park, the spiritual home of

:28:17. > :28:24.triathlon, following the extraordinary scenes of August 2012

:28:25. > :28:30.were the crowd was ten deep all around the course. You could obscure

:28:31. > :28:33.yourself on that day. We have a good crowd here today. This sport has

:28:34. > :28:41.really caught the public's imagination. Lookout crammed the

:28:42. > :28:46.grand stands are. Every seat is taken. Are people out on every inch

:28:47. > :28:53.of the course as well. Terrific day in this part of London. It is

:28:54. > :29:16.indeed. One unusual aspect is Alistair Brownlee wearing number 15,

:29:17. > :29:20.indeed. One unusual aspect is as a matter of disrespect, but they

:29:21. > :29:31.will be firing, ready to get back on the top. They are getting towards

:29:32. > :29:36.the final countdown no. Just to remind you, this is stage four of

:29:37. > :29:41.the World Triathlon Series which began in April in Auckland. I think

:29:42. > :29:44.the guys are right to complain about the schedule which has taken them to

:29:45. > :29:59.Cape Town, then Yokohama and no London. Here is the start list.

:30:00. > :30:14.Aaron Harris from near Basingstoke is always in contention with another

:30:15. > :30:22.a run. -- Aaron. Javier Gomez tops the standings. He has three

:30:23. > :30:29.victories, Auckland, Cape Town and Yokohama. Theoretically, they could

:30:30. > :30:39.end the season unbeaten. The next stage will be in Chicago, then back

:30:40. > :30:45.to Europe and then the final in Edmonton in Canada. It is a brittle

:30:46. > :30:50.schedule. Ready to go in Hyde Park for the sprint distance triathlon.

:30:51. > :30:56.It will all be done in well under an hour. The red flag is raised to

:30:57. > :31:01.signal that the officials on the pontoon are happy. They will drop

:31:02. > :31:10.the flags and then they will get the official start.

:31:11. > :31:13.Stage four of the World Triathlon Series here in London's Royal Hyde

:31:14. > :31:26.Park. They are underway. Cold water in the

:31:27. > :31:34.Serpentine. A single lap will follow them from above. They are followed

:31:35. > :31:38.by paramedics all over the water in the centre of the park. Richard

:31:39. > :31:45.Varga already setting a fast and furious pace. The blue carpet with

:31:46. > :31:53.London written on it is the transition area. Richard Varga will

:31:54. > :31:58.be shadowed by number 20, another fast man through the water. They are

:31:59. > :32:02.traditionally out there in front. The Brownlee brothers and Gomez will

:32:03. > :32:09.not be too far behind. This is extraordinary. The pace of

:32:10. > :32:12.this swim, we have been used to seeing that faster, but this is

:32:13. > :32:19.something else. That is Richard Varga Alberta in front. Huge

:32:20. > :32:24.differences at this early stage. It will be a race of transition is. The

:32:25. > :32:29.Brownlee brothers will want to get onto the bike quickly, Richard Varga

:32:30. > :32:33.working for them and with them on the swim. Transitions will be

:32:34. > :32:42.absolutely crucial. You saw from the aerial shot the

:32:43. > :32:47.three enormous inflatable boys which Mark the turning semicircle. No

:32:48. > :32:51.surprise it is the sport of triathlon's fastest swimmer who

:32:52. > :32:59.leads them through. We will try to catch sight of the number of the man

:33:00. > :33:02.who tales him. They are heading out towards the Serpentine Bridge which

:33:03. > :33:04.marks the boundary between Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens which is on

:33:05. > :33:09.the western and Kensington Gardens which is on

:33:10. > :33:15.water. The other side of the water beyond the bridge is known as the

:33:16. > :33:19.long water, that forms part of Kensington Gardens. Aurelien Raphael

:33:20. > :33:25.of France, he is always good in the water, he is sticking as close as he

:33:26. > :33:31.possibly can to Richard Varga. Looking at the and turnover, we talk

:33:32. > :33:35.about this long, stroking swim. The turnover is so fast. No backing down

:33:36. > :33:43.on that whatsoever. 200 metres already, there has been no letting

:33:44. > :33:48.off in speed. Just with his overhead shot you can see how fast that is.

:33:49. > :33:52.Normally we would see most of the pack together, normally there would

:33:53. > :33:58.not be a five metre gap as we are seeing here with two Serbs of the

:33:59. > :34:03.swim section to go. -- two thirds. Quickly they reached the turn. The

:34:04. > :34:08.paddle border is they're keeping an eye on things. Someone has taken

:34:09. > :34:11.another in the here and has ducked under. We get a bit of mayhem at

:34:12. > :34:17.times in these situations, hands on heads, caps get ripped off and

:34:18. > :34:20.goggles can get dislodged. Somebody is getting bobbed around in there,

:34:21. > :34:25.in all sorts of trouble, like a rubber duck, what a start. One or

:34:26. > :34:29.two really having to push hard and swim to their right to make the

:34:30. > :34:37.turn. Look at the lead Richard Varga and Aurelien Raphael have.

:34:38. > :34:41.It is crucial to maintain that place in the pack. You could almost see

:34:42. > :34:46.the panic setting in with the swim is being pushed, just really pushed

:34:47. > :34:50.underneath as they come through. Richard Varga leads.

:34:51. > :34:53.underneath as they come through. Raphael has shadowed him

:34:54. > :35:01.magnificently. We are ensuring Richard Varga is enjoying this is an

:35:02. > :35:05.honest race, flat out from the start, I don't think we will see any

:35:06. > :35:08.letting up whatsoever. Gomez up there, as we would expect, right in

:35:09. > :35:16.the mix. Not too far behind. I think it is

:35:17. > :35:19.Ryan Bailie he might have full company that come in under six. Just

:35:20. > :35:27.trying to spot the numbers on the orange swim caps. Now they come,

:35:28. > :35:34.heading back to work the swim started, a few minutes ago, down to

:35:35. > :35:38.the last 400 metres. You can see the lighter on the southern bank which

:35:39. > :35:41.opened in 1930, open to the public in summer, members of the Serpentine

:35:42. > :35:47.swimming club can swim any morning of the year. There is a traditional

:35:48. > :35:53.Christmas morning race for the Peter Pan club which was inaugurated by

:35:54. > :35:55.the creator of Peter Barry, there are a few recreational swimmers in

:35:56. > :36:02.there this afternoon watching these guys charge past.

:36:03. > :36:06.In this situation Richard Varga is going to be very happy to be at the

:36:07. > :36:11.front. Because you have to say in the middle of the pack it is very

:36:12. > :36:18.tight. We saw that real mishmash going around the first and second

:36:19. > :36:22.turning areas. They have established a bit of clear water. You just hope

:36:23. > :36:26.the Brownlee brothers will be up there and chasing hard, so they make

:36:27. > :36:31.themselves liable to get into the lead pack. It could well be the

:36:32. > :36:35.whole pack getting together. There is a giant pink swimmer that

:36:36. > :36:43.has been placed in the water alongside the lighter. There is a

:36:44. > :36:52.biker and run around the park as. Great scenes above Hyde Park. In its

:36:53. > :36:55.spring, the green glory. And 300 metres to swim. Richard Varga has

:36:56. > :37:03.forced the pace in this sprint distance triathlon forms. Normally

:37:04. > :37:09.they get out of the water and diving for second lap. Varga has been able

:37:10. > :37:12.to put his foot and knowing it is a single lap, 750 metres, before

:37:13. > :37:16.to put his foot and knowing it is a to ride as opposed to the normal

:37:17. > :37:21.44. 5000 metres, normally their rent 10,000 metres to conclude.

:37:22. > :37:27.Reasonably well spread. There is a gap growing. Another group of 15

:37:28. > :37:32.forming the chase gap growing. Another group of 15

:37:33. > :37:37.stage. We can see just gap growing. Another group of 15

:37:38. > :37:41.gap has become. Is there an intention for the small group to try

:37:42. > :37:44.to stay away, because that will be difficult on this course. With a big

:37:45. > :37:46.group working behind, they can get in each other's way and maybe that

:37:47. > :37:52.small group at the front will in each other's way and maybe that

:37:53. > :37:58.viable to stay away. Richard father, Gomez, look at the

:37:59. > :38:02.difference in body position. Normally Richard would have his head

:38:03. > :38:07.down, but that is not happening. He has got his head up and it is 100%

:38:08. > :38:13.power throughout this swim. So far it is a look as if anybody

:38:14. > :38:23.has been left way behind the group. They have got to go around the last

:38:24. > :38:28.buoy before they come up water. You They have got to go around the last

:38:29. > :38:34.would expect there would be a huge group performing at the front. Some

:38:35. > :38:39.of these terms, the hairpins, out on the four, five kilometre by Clark,

:38:40. > :38:44.some are really tight. Thankfully it is dry to date, in wet conditions it

:38:45. > :38:48.can be very nasty. A possible opportunity for these

:38:49. > :38:51.three athletes to stay away, it will take a lot of commitment but they

:38:52. > :38:58.have put themselves in such a great position. Some of the swimmers have

:38:59. > :39:00.gone long. You have to do your homework and know what the course

:39:01. > :39:06.is, round the yellow ones, they have chosen to go round the red and that

:39:07. > :39:10.has cost them a good ten metres. The course sends them between the yellow

:39:11. > :39:15.and red to finish but some have gone along way round, past the boathouse.

:39:16. > :39:20.After just under eight minutes, Richard Varga hits dry land. He will

:39:21. > :39:31.leave the water and head towards his wheels now. Extraordinary time

:39:32. > :39:35.there, 63 seconds for each 100m. That is putting us up there at world

:39:36. > :39:40.championship and Olympic level in pure storming terms. Those are the

:39:41. > :39:42.first three out of the Serpentine. Then a massive group chasing them

:39:43. > :39:47.down, Slovakian, Frenchman and Then a massive group chasing them

:39:48. > :40:00.Russian arrive in the transition so. The first of the

:40:01. > :40:19.We are looking for Gomez, he has come out in 16th.

:40:20. > :40:26.They hit the transition and go through the motions. Gomez picks up

:40:27. > :40:35.his bike, his wet suit is in the box. No penalty. Jonny is out of the

:40:36. > :40:40.saddle. It can be a little chaotic as we saw with Stinson in this stage

:40:41. > :40:45.as she tripped over her own bike and fell. They are giving each other a

:40:46. > :40:55.bit of room. A massive group leaves together. It is a huge pack. Both

:40:56. > :40:58.the Brownlee brothers and Gomez out shoulder to child. Towards the front

:40:59. > :41:02.of the pack, even on the run from the swim through and into transition

:41:03. > :41:06.they managed to establish position at the beginning of the front of

:41:07. > :41:12.this pack. Three cyclists to chase down. We will go down to the

:41:13. > :41:18.transition area and catch up with Graham Bell who is with Stuart

:41:19. > :41:21.Hayes. That was incredibly fast swim from

:41:22. > :41:27.Richard Varga, was it too fast? Possibly. It will be one big pack.

:41:28. > :41:33.As soon as they jump on their bikes it could split the race.

:41:34. > :41:37.What did you think Alistair and Jonny were thinking when that

:41:38. > :41:40.developed in the swim? They were probably panicking a little bit but

:41:41. > :41:45.they do their damage now on the bike at the beginning.

:41:46. > :41:51.The tactic now is to go absolutely flat out, or to share the lead at

:41:52. > :41:55.the front? Go flat out and try to get into form, they don't want the

:41:56. > :41:58.other runners with them. They want to come into the final five K with

:41:59. > :42:05.the least amount of people as possible.

:42:06. > :42:10.The bike is now well underway. 20 kilometres to cycle around the park.

:42:11. > :42:16.They will stay within the boundaries of the park, at times they will

:42:17. > :42:28.cross the Serpentine Bridge, go past the gallery, before riding along the

:42:29. > :42:34.south and heading up to the North. We are riding with Alistair

:42:35. > :42:36.Brownlee, the 26-year-old, the Olympic triathlon champion. He is in

:42:37. > :42:43.the venue where he won his gold medal, just under two years ago. He

:42:44. > :42:46.is growling and he is working hard. He is going for this. He is pushing

:42:47. > :42:50.really hard. That is the huge impact it. We said

:42:51. > :42:57.as they came through the transition, Alistair, Jonny and Javier had made

:42:58. > :42:59.their move to the front. Alistair went for it at the front, they were

:43:00. > :43:03.reeled in, already went for it at the front, they were

:43:04. > :43:09.chasing pack have split stock they split within half a mile. Alistair

:43:10. > :43:15.went past Polyanskiy as if he were standing still.

:43:16. > 2:24:50We have news of a 15 second stop-go penalty for the German, number 11.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We're not sure of the reason. We will keep you updated.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We're not sure of the reason. We he left something in transition for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50top left is swimming hat out of the box in transition of 15 second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stop-go. Out on the bike now, look at Alistair Brownlee, glancing

2:24:51 > 2:24:50behind him, looking to see if anyone is joining in. What. -- joining

2:24:51 > 2:24:50support. He is trying to run the running legs out of everybody else.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There was a split in the pack when it came through, whether he has just

2:24:51 > 2:24:50backed off, having established him self at the front, remains to be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seen. The pace at the front has followed the pace of this running.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Badge each pack is beginning to stretch immediately for stop Johnny

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee goes forward to the front. We saw some work from Ryan Fisher.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Ryan Fisher put him self on the line. He has been followed by the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50way through. We have got a working group at the front. Very, very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult for them to get away. Alistair Brownlee has put his marker

2:24:51 > 2:24:50down early and he said I refuse to leave this to the wonders of plan.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50He has joined forces with Richard Varga who did the hard, fast work in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the water. Gomez was the golden number one on both arms. He won this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50title 12 months ago, making some adjustments to his eyewear. Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee, limited. 29 on the left, another South African. Vincent Luis

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of France is always a good summer. Number eight. We will keep an eye

2:24:51 > 2:24:50out for Aaron Harris, another for Great Britain for stop the other

2:24:51 > 2:24:50British competitors are Matthew Sharp who wears number 25, Gordon

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Benson who has number 42, and Mark Buchan is in the race, number 55.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Two Irish triathletes as well, Bryan Keane, 23 and Conor Murphy, number

2:24:51 > 2:24:5036. Bryan Keane was a little way down on the swim. He is a very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50strong runner indeed, but I am not sure if the pack is splitting at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50moment. I thought they would come together. It seems that they have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50looked round, they have made sure that they have a leading pack and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50now I think they work really is on. They have just come past the Italian

2:24:51 > 2:24:50garden in Kensington Gardens. Heading back down to the water

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition. It won't be long before they complete a first lap of four.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You can see that the groups are not far apart. We have a leading group

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of about 15. And then a group who are about ten seconds adrift. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50must number 25. At the end of lap one, let's get a check on the Times

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and the difference between the big leaders and the chasers. Number

2:24:51 > 2:24:50five, Richard Murray was on the podium in Yokohama. The leaders have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50arrived on the blue carpet. And lap one is done with Vincent Luis in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lead. Eireann Harris of Great Britain is 12. Richard Murray led

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the second pack, 14 seconds down. If the leaders can maintain this pace,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they have every opportunity to take the running legs away from Richard

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Murray. Know we are seeing the running legs away from Richard

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee in the lead. We have 17 in the leading pack as one has dropped

2:24:51 > 2:24:50off. There are two British athlete in the second group. Javier Gomez is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50safely ensconced in the leading group. Let's ride with the leaders.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Aaron Royle, the Australian, has been consistent this season. Kicking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50his turn to lead the pack. Quite a tight turn around this traffic

2:24:51 > 2:24:50island in the park. Just at the end of North carriage drive. Then the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50head south again. The leading pack of 17 are looking very strong out.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You have to question whether the pace is really

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You have to question whether the front, so much so that some of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athletes are struggling. If there is a big lengthening out, that makes it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50so much easier for the chasing pack to hone in and fix on the back of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the rider in the rear of the leading pack and they will gradually break

2:24:51 > 2:24:50them second by second. At the moment, we still have a gap, but it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50appears the chase pack are beginning to close. You can

2:24:51 > 2:24:50appears the chase pack are beginning in the red and white. Normally you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50would expect to see Alistair in the red and white. Normally you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee at the front of the group, shouting instructions. I have seen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Javier Gomez in the last five minutes, but I have not seen much of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alistair. There here's to the right of the screen. He is back involved.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Never out of the frame for too long. He has made a breakaway, billing a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50few seconds between him and the rest of the lead group. He is looking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50around, does anybody else want to join in the fun two so far, he is on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50his own. Making a big left-hand turn here at Hyde Park Corner. I think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50both Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have come into this race determined.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There is so much talk in the press about, is this the end of the old

2:24:51 > 2:24:50era? I don't see it like that. I think it is a reminder of how good

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the standard is. We can see Alistair in that short wearing the number 15,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50forcing the lead pace. They are struggling to keep up with him. This

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lead group are just five seconds clear of the chasers. They will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50converge into one massive Tour de France type peloton very shortly.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Still these are tax coming off the front. We were watching other

2:24:51 > 2:24:50leaders coming through. Alistair is at the front. We will have to wait

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and see what happens. Time to hear from Graham Bell and Stewart Hayes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50once again. You have a theory as to why Alistair went a W O L -- a wall

2:24:51 > 2:24:50from the front of that group? Alistair is a very aggressive

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athlete. He is frustrated. He wants guys to work with him. He is putting

2:24:51 > 2:24:50his hands in the air to try to do circles because he wants to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50his hands in the air to try to do group away. Do you think they will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stay away? Is this break big enough? It is hard to see. The elastic band

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stay away? Is this break big enough? might snap. -- hard to see.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is hard to see. The elastic band might snap. -- hard to see. -- say.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50They have headed down towards Buckingham Palace. This year, they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will stay within the boundaries of the park. It is a question of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50maintaining the pressure no. At the moment, we can still see the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pressure group. They are working to get back on. That is what Alistair

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee is asking for from his cohorts. The gap is still there, but

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it is not stretching to the extent that we would be hoping for four

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hour two Brits in the leading pack. These are the leaders. Everyone is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50taking their turn. The chasers are not far behind. The number about 20

2:24:51 > 2:24:50or 25 riders. Some British triathletes in there. They are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50halfway on the bikes. Two lapse down, two to go. Richard Varga is in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sixth. Alistair Brownlee in nine. Just eight seconds to Richard Murray

2:24:51 > 2:24:50who leads the chasing group. We know his running abilities are superb. He

2:24:51 > 2:24:50almost shoulder charged that barrier! He has the same idea as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alistair Brownlee, but he needs to re-establish himself. We saw how

2:24:51 > 2:24:50strong runner he is. He is putting himself in contention for a possible

2:24:51 > 2:24:50victory here. The last times, it has been Javier Gomez or the Brownlee

2:24:51 > 2:24:50brothers. All of a sudden, the world has changed. Mario Mola is up there.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50If they can do it, if they can close the gap, maybe I can as well?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Richard Murray is the instigator of the chasing group. Under ten

2:24:51 > 2:24:50kilometres to write. Just to remind you, there is a shorter run segment

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to complete the sprint distance triathlon. 5000 metres around the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50park. Two lapse of 2.5 kilometres. -- laps. Vincent Luis, number eight,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the French man is at the back of the chasing group. It looks like the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Danish rider might be having some technical issues. Number 67. He

2:24:51 > 2:24:50appears to be becoming adrift of the chasing group. I think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it hard to stay with the pace. Javier Gomez goes to the front. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50still have the second half of the bike section to do. Look at the size

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of that pack. Javier Gomez seems to be instrumental to getting away at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the front. The Brazilian was getting involved. Gordon Benson for Great

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Britain, number 42 as well. He is working with number 35, Franz

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Loeschke of Spain. Doing a lot of work up at the front. Alistair

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee and Jonathan Brownlee will be looking around thinking, perhaps

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the order has changed? At the moment, it would appear that it is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50coming down to a runners race. We may well see a further easing off of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the bike pace up at the front. We can see the Princess Diana Memorial

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fountain, alongside the Serpentine. That will be used

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fountain, alongside the Serpentine. the women's sprint distance race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Their race starts shortly after the conclusion of the men. 16, Dan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Wilson from Australia. He makes his move on the outside, trying to force

2:24:51 > 2:24:50his way towards the front. There is Gregor Buchholz from Germany. He has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the 15 second penalty to come. You might remember at the Olympics that

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the same thing happened to Jonathan Brownlee because of this pint

2:24:51 > 2:24:50infringement -- dismount. He had to stop and stand, take the 15 second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50count, and then still was able to get back in the race and win the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50bronze medal. Extraordinary performance that day from Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee. As Stewart performance that day from Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50suggested, he thought the final performance that day from Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Olympics. With the form that Javier Gomez is in, I think this is his

2:24:51 > 2:24:50race for the taking. We will see how it unfolds. Now around the Italian

2:24:51 > 2:24:50garden. We are it unfolds. Now around the Italian

2:24:51 > 2:24:50attack coming off the front. Not one of them has been fully sustained. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are seeing people get of them has been fully sustained. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50metres. Rather than having the desperation to go buy yourself,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everyone is looking back. Nobody seems desperate to go by themselves.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Benson is helping to force the pace. attack. -- a Lonmin attack.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Benson is helping to force the pace. He has done printed of -- plenty of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50work. The Italian is trying He has done printed of -- plenty of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50away from this group and he is joined by an Australian. They have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50some distance, but not much. You can see Jonathan Brownlee sitting in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seventh position. He is reluctant to see Jonathan Brownlee sitting in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make a move. Without anybody to have the confidence to make that attack,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it is difficult. A real free feeling at the back. It is a very big pack

2:24:51 > 2:24:50going into this final lap. There is a massive peloton of riders. Some of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50them are just free feeling in the slipstream. We are going to look at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the full list of riders here. These two have made a little break. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50want to try and do some damage when they ditched the bike later on. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are more than three quarters of the way through this bike course no. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50two groups have converged. It will be a delicate situation. Up to 50

2:24:51 > 2:24:50riders coming together at the end of the 20 kilometres bike ride. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will have to watch themselves as they hang up their bikes. Perhaps

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola or Richard Murray will be looking to hit the five kilometres

2:24:51 > 2:24:50run early. They are just pretend attacks, just

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to get a little bit of free space. I think at this stage because the pack

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is so big, the writers think OK, I need to get to the front, but not to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make a break, more to ensure they have clear space around the route

2:24:51 > 2:24:50into transition. They are aware of what happened to Jodie Stimpson,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everybody would have been in a situation where that could have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50happened to them. Even now, not really looking for attacks of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front, but more to get in a good, viable position entering transition

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to. The former world champion from

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Spain, 301I saw up there as well. The Austrian, Thomas Springer.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Taking the chance, forcing the pace at the front. Vincent Luis thinks he

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has got a chance. He kicks clear. This is where Richard Murray almost

2:24:51 > 2:24:50shoulder charge the barrier has become past the Serpentine Gallery.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Quite well spread. Long line of triathletes just jostling for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position. 31 minutes gone. The bike is almost done. There is number 15,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alistair Brownlee, gritting his teeth, is that the grimace or smile?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Could be a bit of both, lots of noise. He

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Could be a bit of both, lots of to his opponents and those he thinks

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I'd be working for his benefit. 37 is up there as well.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I think what we are doing is setting ourselves up for an absolutely

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fascinating final discipline, the five kilometre run, with salmon in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50contention, you can bet they will be going flat out out of transition. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50remember back from the Olympics, that first 800 metres was covered in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50just outside two minutes. I am sure we will see exactly that today. They

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will be coming in in a big pack, might be a bit loose, but out of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition, it is springtime. Jonny Brownlee easing off a little bit,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition, it is springtime. Jonny deciding we cannot get away, I will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50save my next just deciding we cannot get away, I will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will see what damage we can do on the run. Mark Buckingham up there as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50well, number 55, just ahead of Jonathan Brownlee. Great British

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathletes in first and second at the moment, the German estate. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Australians in green and gold. Four of them there. They are starting to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50think about the conclusion of of them there. They are starting to

2:24:51 > 2:24:5020 K sprint distance ride. Mark Buckingham is a great runner, an

2:24:51 > 2:24:50international runner in his own right. To be leading in this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position and knowing he has got his best strength to country, he will be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really up for this, maybe we will have Mark Buckingham going out with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Brownlee brothers. Gomez, Mola, it will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Brownlee brothers. Gomez, Mola, out out of transition. This trail is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50trying to work as a pack. 53, the Brazilian, he is having a look as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50well for top 37 behind him. Javier Gomez is one of the oldest

2:24:51 > 2:24:50man in the race at 31 years of age. He has won all three races, Auckland

2:24:51 > 2:24:50at the beginning of April, Cape Town at the end of April, Yokohama in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50middle of May. Three races, three victories for him. He bids for four

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in a row here in Hyde Park. Maybe the big danger to Gomez is going to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50be his countrymen, Mario Mola. He did Gomez in the very early race at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the start of the season. He will be in big danger. Everything to play

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for, everybody in contention. Watch out for Mark Buckingham on the run.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Last 600 metres on the bike, then they will be heading back to the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition area. There on the southern side of that Serpentine,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they will loop around and head back to transition. Everybody is starting

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to think about it, look at this pack, it is rare we see such a big

2:24:51 > 2:24:50group of riders together. Normally it is 1520, this sort of massive

2:24:51 > 2:24:50group of riders is spectacular for the spectators here in Hyde Park who

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have come out in force on a beautiful afternoon in central

2:24:51 > 2:24:50London. Just changes the whole aspect of the race, having it as a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sprint distance, everybody is prepared to go flat out right from

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the start, it is all action so far, that will continue. It looks very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50clean, that was Alistair Brownlee, Jonny Brownlee on the right-hand

2:24:51 > 2:24:50side. Clean entry into transition. And now the race really starts.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jonathan Brownlee getting a feel for his run. The movement for the legs.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hangs up his bike, bike helmet off. Right shoe on. This is all rehearsed

2:24:51 > 2:24:50time and time again for stop Gomez is on his way. He was in first out

2:24:51 > 2:24:50but he is within the first ten. It is a decent transition for Gomez.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Everybody is in and out in double quick time. I am not sure anybody

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has been too far left behind, keep an eye out for Mario Mola and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Richard Murray. We will also focus on the Brownlee brothers, somebody

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is struggling at the back, the Australian at the back. The Austrian

2:24:51 > 2:24:50followed by Alistair Brownlee who is already rocking and rolling and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50breathing hard and clearly looking for early pace. Jonathan is going

2:24:51 > 2:24:50with him. Gomez is going with him. Richard Murray is right in there, he

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is in sixth place now. Then the rest of them just of opposition on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hairpin turn, the first lap and away stop -- underway. ITU Colas

2:24:51 > 2:24:50alongside Alistair Brownlee. Richard Murray looking very dangerous in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fifth or sixth place. He was sitting on Javier Gomez's shoulder.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fifth or sixth place. He was sitting has dropped slightly behind Murray.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We saw how strong Richard Murray was on the previous race. Mario Mola

2:24:51 > 2:24:50comes into view as well. The big three challengers to the Brownlee

2:24:51 > 2:24:50brothers. At the moment the Brownlee 's 1-2. You see them going past the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50grandstand once again. We have got a few of the late markers on that

2:24:51 > 2:24:50initial pack up the front. The big players out there holding the top

2:24:51 > 2:24:50five positions at the moment. The blue racing corridor is pretty

2:24:51 > 2:24:50narrow, hardly room for them all. Alistair Brownlee stands tall and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50injects some pace into the first to put five: The term lap. -- into the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50first 2.5 kilometre lap. Your initial burg, wearing the ITU

2:24:51 > 2:24:50colours, he was up there. He might now have been dropped. Seeing a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50little bit of a split. The top eight or ten runners seem to be getting

2:24:51 > 2:24:50away. Alistair Brownlee making his re-entry to the race so in just two

2:24:51 > 2:24:50weeks back. We are seeing Alistair, he has made a move here already, was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50he that little bit not quite race prepared going into Yokohama. At the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50moment now that Murray has taken the lead, seems to be covering

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everything going along. That one is stretching everybody out. That has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everything going along. That one is really, a leaders at the front

2:24:51 > 2:24:50getting away, really, a leaders at the front

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Britain both Brownlee brothers are therefore stop the danger

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Britain both Brownlee brothers are Mola, Richard Murray, Javier Gomez.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola, runner-up in the sprint finish in your karma.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola, runner-up in the sprint the full Olympic, Gomez then Mola.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola, runner-up in the sprint Things different today, a home race

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for the Things different today, a home race

2:24:51 > 2:24:50colder temperatures. They will enjoy them. They are both it is a huge

2:24:51 > 2:24:50amount of successful. He is determined to make his mark on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium in Yokohama, still looking to really break

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium in Yokohama, still looking to regularly at World Triathlon Series

2:24:51 > 2:24:50level. Have the Brownlee brothers decided on different race tactics?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Every time we see them race they go immediately to the front and it is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50or was Javier Gomez looking to hang with them. Now we seem to be seeing

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they are both happy to let Richard Murray, Mario Mola, go from the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front and Murray, Mario Mola, go from the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they are getting a bit of respite, they are thinking we have always

2:24:51 > 2:24:50done the work at the front, now we will change tactics, we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50done the work at the front, now we what they will do when we respond to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50there, anyplace. Mario Mola from Spain in the red,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Marie from South Africa. To the left, Alistair Brownlee, number 15.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50His younger brother Jonathan on his tail. The field getting a little

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spread, the Germans getting left behind. Steffen Justus. He has got

2:24:51 > 2:24:50slightly stranded. Alistair Brownlee once again has a little look at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front of the pack. Everybody responding. There is somebody off

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the back who is getting involved as well. Could be another one of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50South Africans. Ryan Bailie of Australia going through. There is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gomez. Number 49 running at the front. Joao Silva of Portugal. He

2:24:51 > 2:24:50could do so and damaged today. Big, big race for Bailey of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Australia. He has been so consistent. -- Ryan Bailie. Two

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Portuguese, two Spanish, two Brits, Richard Murray. It is down to a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50runners race, lead pack of eight. We have seen Alistair go to the front,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50looking around, he made that 500 metres where he just dropped back a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50little bit, now we are seeing, perhaps an attack, perhaps just a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50surge from the front. There is a response every single time at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50moment. You have to say every single one of them in with a great

2:24:51 > 2:24:50opportunity to win here. Alistair Brownlee took a bottle of water,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50poured it over his head, not down his throat. Feeling his body temp

2:24:51 > 2:24:50which is writing somewhat. Alistair Brownlee, always looks uncomfortable

2:24:51 > 2:24:50when he is running. His grimace as he crossed the line to win the title

2:24:51 > 2:24:50here in August, we know he is not totally race fit, he has been out,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50missed the first three races, made his comeback on me the 17th in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Yokohama, wasn't a great race for him. The world number one, the

2:24:51 > 2:24:5031-year-old Spaniard has a little look and decides it is time to get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in the spotlight. Javier Gomez of Spain, the best in the world right

2:24:51 > 2:24:50now, takes up the running at the front of the field. Gomez takes up

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the running, and immediate response from the other pack members there,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50particularly Alistair Brownlee, running at the front, a couple of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50bodies removed from Javier Gomez, saw the danger, decided he needed to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50respond, absolutely when Fred, and has managed to stay with Gomez. --

2:24:51 > 2:24:50went for it. Gomez, Murray, Mola. Both the Brownlee brothers with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50them. They can keep up with the pace. They are approaching the end

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of lap one. Onto the softer blue carpet, just to relieve the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50vibrations through the legs as they hit transition for the first time,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50midway through this 5000 metre run. Gomez, Ryan Bailie, Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee, Joao Silva in there as well. Vincent Luis. This is the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second group. You can tell the lack of pace. They are some way removed

2:24:51 > 2:24:50from the leaders. A 15 second gap, the merger of the speed at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front. There's eight athletes going so strong. I would hesitate to call

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a winner at the moment. We have been so used to seeing Javier Gomez on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50one of the two Brownlee brothers being up there. It didn't change the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50order, still in the top five. But to call a winner from this particularly

2:24:51 > 2:24:50when we have so many good runners in great performances, Mario Mola, grey

2:24:51 > 2:24:50shape. Richard Murray as well. Javier Gomez able to take them just

2:24:51 > 2:24:50two weeks ago. We have a group of eight established

2:24:51 > 2:24:50as the front pack, early in the second group, the final lap of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50run, they are all fighting for the minor positions, I can't see anybody

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will charge up through the field from this sort of position. Gordon

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Benson going through, he had a good ride but now fighting for a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position. Keane from Ireland. The Italian fades on the final stretch

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of the triathlon, he is dropping off the pace as we rejoin the leaders.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Joao Silva of Portugal, he has got Parreira up there as well. Up with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gomez at the front. Eight of them are shoulder to shoulder. In a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50little triangle, separated by half a second. Just looking at Bryan Keane

2:24:51 > 2:24:50there, he is a sensational run. For him to be losing 15 or 20 seconds on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the first 2.5 kilometres indicate what is happening at the front.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alistair Brownlee has picked up the pace sensational a. I am not sure if

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jonny Brownlee can cover that. Richard Murray has covered

2:24:51 > 2:24:50immediately. Javier Gomez is back in seventh place. Mario Mola has gone

2:24:51 > 2:24:50with Alistair Brownlee. He must be reminded of the Olympics two years

2:24:51 > 2:24:50ago with the noise levels were of a similar decibel. Javier Gomez is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50down in sixth place. He has not been broken. We have lost one. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Portuguese athlete has been unable to keep with the pace. Silver of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Portugal has lost about three seconds. We have one mile to go. Big

2:24:51 > 2:24:50push from Alistair Brownlee has managed to get that group of eight

2:24:51 > 2:24:50down to seven. People are having difficulty staying there. It looks

2:24:51 > 2:24:50as though Johnny Ronan Lee was having difficulty covering that.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Will we see Alistair Brownlee surge again? The sprint speed of three of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50our athletes up there is tremendous. I think we could be looking for a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second surge in this final mile. Has Richard Murray got the required

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sprint finish to get involved in a race to the line? He was left behind

2:24:51 > 2:24:50by Mario Mola and Javier Gomez in Yokohama. The shorter distance

2:24:51 > 2:24:50clearly sitting Alistair's return to short distance racing more than the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50full Olympic distance did. Javier Gomez is at the back of this group.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50He has not been dropped. He could be waiting for his time to kill. Mario

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mola has the hypervisor. At the front, the Olympic

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mola has the hypervisor. At the Alistair Brownlee from West

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Yorkshire, leads the throne. I think Javier Gomez has decided he is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50exactly where he wants to be. He is prepared to be able to move out

2:24:51 > 2:24:50those five or six yards to cover anything. He has stayed in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50contention. Just possibly beginning to lose a little bit. Has Javier

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gomez's racing schedule taken a little out of him? Or is he

2:24:51 > 2:24:50confident that he can cover this? But we see those one or two metres

2:24:51 > 2:24:50just beginning to open up slightly. Of Alistair Brownlee in the front,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50he knows he has to be ready to cover if Alistair Brownlee looks for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50another surge before the final stream. Alistair Brownlee is working

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hard and gritting his teeth. He is still bouncing along with a real

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spring in his step. Into the last 850 metres. Has Alistair got a final

2:24:51 > 2:24:50finish to keep the spectators happy here in Hyde Park? At the moment,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Richard Murray has him covered. Mario Mola is staying with them.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50No-one is being dropped. Javier Gomez is at the back, but he is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50still keeping a close distance over the leader. As we approach the final

2:24:51 > 2:24:50700 metres, but is possibly dangerous tactics no. We are coming

2:24:51 > 2:24:50into the last minute and a half of running. How brave is Alistair

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee? He had the disappointment of Yokohama. He looks as if he has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50made another surge. He has looked behind. Is that a sign of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50desperation and self-confidence? Richard Murray is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50working hard. Richard Murray is looking dangerous. Javier Gomez is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50beginning to make the cover. looking dangerous. Javier Gomez is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50metres to go. Alistair looking dangerous. Javier Gomez is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50kept clear of Richard Murray and Mario Mola. The Portuguese athlete

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is trying desperately to stay Mario Mola. The Portuguese athlete

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the leaders. The blue carpet approaches. Who will take this one?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jonathan Brownlee and Javier Gomez will not be involved in the sprint

2:24:51 > 2:24:50finish. The South African is in front. Richard Murray opens up some

2:24:51 > 2:24:50daylight. Can Alistair respond? He almost took the wrong route. Murray

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and Mario Mola are together. Alistair has nothing more to offer.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The Portuguese athlete moves into third. Mario Mola takes the win with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a brilliant sprint finish. Richard Murray in second. Alistair Brownlee

2:24:51 > 2:24:50gave it everything but has to settle for fourth. Jonathan Brownlee comes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50home ahead of Javier Gomez for the first time this season. Javier Gomez

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is clearly tired after the exertion. What a race in Hyde Park! Silver was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50with the front group for a little while. The Brownlee brothers are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50unable to repeat their heroics of London 2012 here at the world

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon series in 2014. Mario Mola takes the win, head of Richard

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Murray in second and Portugal were in third. When was the last time

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that we saw none of those three on the winners podium? That was a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50tremendous race. I have to say quite unexpected. I am an huge fan of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sprint distance format. It proved to be absolutely thrilling here at this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50afternoon. The athletes are being asked to clear the area. I think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Graham Bell is ready to talk to Jonathan Brownlee.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50That was an incredible raise. I don't think I have seen triathlon

2:24:51 > 2:24:50like that since before Beijing in 2008. Was it tough to run? Today, it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was a big group and I am not used to that tactically. In Yokohama, I was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50awful. This time, it was a bit better. Some more training and I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will get faster. Your brother, Alistair, was pushing the pace. Was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that hurting everyone? It was a decent sprint, but he does not sit

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in. He is brave. That is why he wins so many races. You dropped back with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Javier Gomez. Was that a surprise? Kind of, but I knew the pace was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fast. It was weird racing him for fifth and sixth instead of first and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second. Alistair, you look absolutely shattered. I was going as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hard as I could for the last kilometre. Trying to put in attack

2:24:51 > 2:24:50after attack. It wasn't good enough. They were still faster than the.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Eight what happened 200 metres from home? I took a first right for the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50penalty box. It was not the only option I had. I went as hard as I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50could. I thought that was the best thing to do. With 100 metres to go,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I had nothing left. Javier Gomez, is this the changing of the guard? Is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50this a new regime? A new winner after I don't know how many years. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50give my best. But some people were faster than me today. Well done to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50them. I hope to get better for the next one. It was a very tough race?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Very tough. Sometimes it happens. I was a bit tired. I hope to get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50better for the next one. Good start to the season.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We have heard from both of the Brownlee brothers and also Javier

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gomez. They have all said how tough this race was. It was very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50exciting. Alistair has come into form. We saw him literally all part

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in the last 500 metres. What a race? I am exhausted! Amazing race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The result does not completely surprised me. Over a sprint

2:24:51 > 2:24:50distance, anything can happen. This season, Mario Mola has shown that he

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is the man to beat. Let's start at the beginning. It was difficult to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50break away in the swim. Richard Varga came out very fast. There

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wasn't really a split. The British team were trying to get the Brownlee

2:24:51 > 2:24:50brothers in first. It wasn't quite enough. I think we can hear from

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola. We have heard from have your Gomez

2:24:51 > 2:24:50-- Javier Gomez and the Brownlee brothers. Is this the changing of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the guard? I don't know. I tried to do everything that is possible in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50every race. Here, I found the strength and energy was enough to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50get the win. I am very pleased. I am sure other people have enjoyed this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50race at home. It was very exciting. When you are in that last group on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the run, who are you most fearful of? You train with Richard Murray.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Were you scared of his legs? Everybody. I knew that Richard had a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50last amazing kilometres, so I tried to stay behind him. Then finally saw

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the blue carpet, that is the end. I gave everything I had left. And

2:24:51 > 2:24:50amazing finish. Congratulations. Mario Mola and Murray were on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium in Yokohama. Is three becoming five? Over the sprint

2:24:51 > 2:24:50distance, yes. They took second and third in Yokohama. But I think over

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Olympic distance, and on an ordinary day, it would be much

2:24:51 > 2:24:50tougher for them on the bike. Richard, what an incredible raise.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Painful? The last lap and a half were very hard. But the rest of it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was very enjoyable. I don't think we've seen a race like this in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon for a long time. Good for the sport? Yes, and also for the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spectators. It is great to have a little change and to finally push it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50at the front. How much did it hurt with Alistair at the front of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pack, pushing and pushing? I knew there would be some moments when he

2:24:51 > 2:24:50would surge and push it. I was following. Then at the last minute I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50gave it everything I have got. I thought I had it, but I am super

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stoked with second place. Congratulations.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We were talking about how this is not an ordinary year. Over the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Olympic distance, that may not be the case. We are halfway through the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50series, and half of them are sprint distance? Yes, this is slightly

2:24:51 > 2:24:50easier for those who are weaker swimmers because they don't lose so

2:24:51 > 2:24:50much time on the swim. Not taking anything away from the fantastic

2:24:51 > 2:24:50results today, of course. We saw some tactics on the bike. Alistair

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was pushing it. You can't always tell whether he is grimacing or

2:24:51 > 2:24:50smiling, but he was certainly shouting. It would have been very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50frustrating for him. He wanted a wider break in the swim which did

2:24:51 > 2:24:50not happen. He took the five kilometres and very well, but didn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really have it at the end. As the season goes on, I am sure we will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50see him at the top. Alistair and Jonathan are looking to peak at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Commonwealth Games. How much were the British athletes trying to work

2:24:51 > 2:24:50together on the bike? They were forming a little line which means

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they wanted to see the best riders at the front. Mark Buckingham is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50known for his running. Also Gordon Benson. To see them helping Alistair

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and Jonathan is fantastic. They were helping out because they knew how

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult it was going to be to get off the bike and into the running

2:24:51 > 2:24:50shoes and out of transition. It is very tight year. There could easily

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have been an accident and that is the last thing you want. We must

2:24:51 > 2:24:50remind everyone that you can help each other out and you can get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50behind somebody's slipstream to conserve energy. When the age group

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is raised -- when the age group races, they are not allowed to do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that. But the elite group can. Alistair, on the run, he looked like

2:24:51 > 2:24:50he was hurting. Was he hurting? Alistair, on the run, he looked like

2:24:51 > 2:24:50That is just how he looks, how he trains.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50How disappointed will they be not getting to the podium? They would be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50do so the -- bitterly disappointed for top it was a much race for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alistair. Let's go back to the podium.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Third place to Joao Pereira from Portugal, a decent sprint finish on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50him. Excellent race. We were expecting the other Portuguese to be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50up there, but an improvement again for Richard Murray, third for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Yokohama, up into second place. An improvement as well for Mario Mola,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50who was beaten in the sprint finish by Gomez in Yokohama, but he has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50come through and he has broken the stranglehold that Gomez and the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee brothers have had whenever they have competed together, they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have won the races for as long as we can remember. Mario Mola is on top

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of the podium. To take the World Triathlon Series factory in Hyde

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park. -- victory. No Gomez, no Brownlee on the podium.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50What a race for Mario Mola, his sprint finish once again absolutely

2:24:51 > 2:24:50extraordinary. Would you all please rise for the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50playing of the Spanish national anthem.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50A fantastic performance that will long live in the memory.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Let's have another look at the sprint finish, Mario Mola able to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50glance over his shoulder, and he could see that Richard Murray was no

2:24:51 > 2:24:50longer a threat. What a feeling for Mario Mola. The winner of the World

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Triathlon Series event here in Hyde Park. Richard Murray and Joao

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Pereira therefore Portugal. -- third of Portugal.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50That is just half of the story, with the women's race still to come.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Mario Mola, Richard Murray, and Joao Pereira on the podium.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Disappointment from a British perspective but what a race. We have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50got the women's race, not for you in about half an hour. All the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50competitors are out in transition putting their bikes and their

2:24:51 > 2:24:50running shoes, everything into place. It is all set for the race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50They should be diving into the water at five past four. Before we turn

2:24:51 > 2:24:50our attention to that let's fast forward to Rio, 2016, the games are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50going to be hugely important to triathlon. They will be the very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50first time the sport has a presence in the Paralympics, and the good

2:24:51 > 2:24:50news is from a British perspective there are some real medal

2:24:51 > 2:24:50contenders, including Fay McClelland who last year here in London became

2:24:51 > 2:24:50world champion for the fourth time in a row.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50My name is Fay McClelland and I am a four times world champion.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I was a happy child. Very sociable. I guess I was a little bit of a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50tomboy, but a girl at the same time. I used to get up to lots of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50different activities ranging from gymnastics, ballet, trampolining,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50ice-skating. I guess that may have been my parents influence because we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50always used to be in the outdoors for stop I got made redundant as a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fitness instructor because our company was taken over and I had was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wanted to go travelling first I took just over a year out. I came back, I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50needed to get back into doing some sport, that is when I was first

2:24:51 > 2:24:50introduced to parrot triathlon and the head GB were forming a squad and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50before I had never really thought about disability sport, getting

2:24:51 > 2:24:50involved, it was something that I knew it was happening, but it didn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really interest me, it wasn't something I wanted to be part of. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50guess, really, as a child I'd is wanted to fit in with everyone else,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I didn't want to focus on my disability. It was a small

2:24:51 > 2:24:50disability, but nevertheless I was still different for stop --.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Discovering parrot triathlon was acceptance as well for me having a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50disability for. At this level the competition is getting great. To do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50well in all three you have got to be able to tap in and focus and be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50dedicated. I swim in the morning, get up at 515, swim anything from 75

2:24:51 > 2:24:50minutes, up to two hours. Four or five days a week I do that. I go to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the gym, I might go out for a run or cycle. Fitting it all in, also I am

2:24:51 > 2:24:50working in the shop. Me and my partner have been running the shop

2:24:51 > 2:24:50together since January, quite a new venture. Because we're passionate

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about it it doesn't seem like a job or a chore full very intense when I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50am here because I might be in the shop, and we do train together. When

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I am away I miss him, because we are together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50get too intense. I'm quite together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50title, I am immensely proud, together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have got to be humble and be together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50yourself, I am not somebody together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I just get on with it. It would be together 24/7. It doesn't seem to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50great to do it this time, pretty awesome. I'm confident.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The London paratriathlon races were today, Britain won four golds but

2:24:51 > 2:24:50one of them didn't go to Fay McClelland. She was beaten by her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50team-mate and roommate, Lauren Steadman who finished two minutes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50ahead of her. They are both with me now. Congratulations, Lauren. You're

2:24:51 > 2:24:50done what no one else has been able to do, beat Fay McClelland. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50honestly didn't believe I could do some thing like that for a few

2:24:51 > 2:24:50years, if anything sets the benchmark, it has been fantastic for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stop learning curve as well. For most people are sold is billion

2:24:51 > 2:24:50billion were not used that colour. I see it in your face. Still a bit of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a surprise. I kind of knew at the end of the run it wasn't just going

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to happen, I wouldn't be able to gain that time for stop --. That is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50what racing is all about, you are not always going to come first. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was a tough cookie and I wasn't good enough.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Was it a surprise for you? It was. Every race I do, I haven't been

2:24:51 > 2:24:50doing it very long, coming from swimming for stop every race is a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50case of try my hardest and being the best I can beat in each discipline.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I seemed to get everything right and by transitions went well, they had

2:24:51 > 2:24:50been a bit dodgy previously for stop it was a good day for me.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50been a bit dodgy previously for stop reflected in the results.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You so dominant in your increasing?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is a bit scary but it is what I need. You do need that challenge.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is a bit scary but it is what I will push me and hopefully I will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50learn something from it and take it away and put it into place and train

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hard, train harder, and you can only do your best, but Lauren has been a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50good challenge for me. I really wanted to talk to both of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you about the transition. We talk about it being the fourth discipline

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in triathlon. In paratriathlon it is even more so for stop not only are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you taking off wet suits and putting different types of shoes on, you are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50also putting an arm on for the bike leg and taking the arm of after it.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is something that has to be practised. We get people who help

2:24:51 > 2:24:50us. It is a case of whilst I do one thing, my handler does the other.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The helmet is pretty tricky, I lost a minute in Japan to the helmet.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Having a handler helps because there are things people with two hands

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wouldn't take into account. It is beneficial. Definitely. You could be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50putting your shoes and while you're handler is taking off your helmet

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and all of that counts and games you time, it is second on a sprint race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50And the race committee one lost in transition. Definitely. How excited

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are you about Rio 2016 and triathlon having a paralytic presence? Very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50excited, the first time paratriathlon has been in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Paralympic Games. We are in the forefront of this but at the moment.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is a reality now, a couple of years away, it is not long. It is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the pinnacle of all sport. To be involved, to have that opportunity

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is amazing. Thank you for coming here and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50chatting. I know you will feel some of the disappointment that the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee brothers must be feeling at this moment in time. Since their

2:24:51 > 2:24:50success at London 2012 lots of you have been getting into the water,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50getting out on your bike, and pounding the streets and they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50themselves want to keep that legacy going so they have started some

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee triathlons anyone can take part in and they have been speaking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to us about how important those events are to them.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We are really excited, it is the second year we are doing it, last

2:24:51 > 2:24:50year we had one in Yorkshire, this year we have expanded to two events.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is for anyone to take part in. Last year we had one distance, and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50now we have got a super sprint distance which is a short triathlon

2:24:51 > 2:24:50which can take 30, 40 minutes. Sprint distance which takes about an

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hour, or a bit longer, one hour 15, and then there is a team relay so if

2:24:51 > 2:24:50people want to take part in a team and not on your own, you can do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that. To see everybody compete in a sport

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I love was great, an event we put on, it was even more special. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spoke to people who had trained for six, eight weeks beforehand and it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50had changed their massively, they enjoy the training, going out

2:24:51 > 2:24:50cycling, seeing new places on the bike, triathlons are varied sports

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to train for. Out of the 1000 people out of the race, 400 it was the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50first-ever triathlon. 400 people that have never done one before, it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is a really special thing. Hopefully that trend will be similar if not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50better this year. Competing in 2012 we saw a growth in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon, maybe as much as 50,000 people more competing across 2013

2:24:51 > 2:24:50than 2012. Even more important is a growing awareness of the sport. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50use the example a lot but when we first started nobody knew what it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was. Not only do people know what it is, they are prepared to go out and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50do it. We are keen on getting people outside and active and triathlon is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a fantastic vessel for that, something we are passionate about.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The fact I can inspire people to do triathlon is a bit scary, it is a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sport that I grew up doing, and now I am here inspiring people and a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50role model, if I like, I don't know what that means but hopefully it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50works. If I can inspire anyone it is good. It can be fun, it doesn't have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to be hard, go out and do it. Even if you can be a role model for one

2:24:51 > 2:24:50other person who has even a fraction of the enjoyment we have had it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50would be a massive success. How great has been to see the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee brothers inspires so many people to take up your sport? It has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50been amazing. It is still growing. Alistair put himself on the line

2:24:51 > 2:24:50today. It is important for children and people coming through to see

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that you have to work very hard to achieve great things. Alistair spoke

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about people giving him a funny look when he would speak about the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon when he was younger. That happens to me all the time. But this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is easier than marathon running. You have a real balance across the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50board. If you get injured in one, you can train in the other two. How

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is training people nowadays? It is very diverse. You realise how much

2:24:51 > 2:24:50psychology plays a huge part. Watching Alistair race today is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50evidence of that for me. He raced so hard and left nothing behind. You

2:24:51 > 2:24:50can see the frustration in his face. The determination when he is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50racing. I would love to play poker with him! He will go away now and do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everything he can to get back on top of the podium. In my opinion, he has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50come on since Yokohama. There will be 5000 ordinary people here in Hyde

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park racing. Third of them have not one before. It is growing. The youth

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athletes will come and watch this. They are our future champions. Come

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and join us, Alistair and Johnny. How are you both? A little tired. It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was a tough race. Better than Yokohama. Alistair, we have to ask

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you about your face during that race. I can never tell whether you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are angry or happy? If I am happy, I am probably hurting. I was going as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50part as I could. How hard is it to be off the podium here in Hyde

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park? Very tough, Yokohama was the first time in 49 races I have not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50even on the podium. It got a negative press afterwards and that

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is the first time I have a bad. It is tough. I race and I want to do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50well. I want to set myself high standards. I want to win. We have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50heard you talking about the Brownlee triathlons. How important is it to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you that other people are getting out there and racing in this sport

2:24:51 > 2:24:50because of you both? We have loved triathlons since we were eight years

2:24:51 > 2:24:50old. It is our way of encouraging other people to have a go. How are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you feeling about your season? Commonwealth is the big focus this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50year and the big difference between you and Javier Gomez. It is more

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult for Commonwealth athletes. I hadn't raced to well before he. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are just getting started. I have six weeks of good training before

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hamburg and then hopefully I can do well in the Commonwealth. It is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50interesting this year. I feel like I am lacking something at the moment.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is very early. After five weeks of training, hopefully I can be a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50different athlete. If these two have inspired you, here is what you need

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to do. Keep on running. And swimming and cycling. BBC sport wants you to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50go online to get inspired and find a sport for you. We have information

2:24:51 > 2:24:50on how and where to get stuck in. Don't just watch it, do it. Get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50active, get inspired. Keep on running... Let's move on to the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50women's race. Non Stanford will not be racing today. She is just back in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50training after a foot injury. She will not be able to defend her title

2:24:51 > 2:24:50this year. The Commonwealth is her main focus. The rest of the world's

2:24:51 > 2:24:50top female athletes are here in London. Here is where they stand

2:24:51 > 2:24:50ahead of the race. Gwen Jorgensen from America is in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second place after her bronze in Cape Town. Helen Jenkins is in third

2:24:51 > 2:24:50after getting on the podium twice in her comeback after a long injury

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lay-off. After the drama in Yokohama where she injured her foot, Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has not been able to race very much. I got my stitches out on Monday. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have some training under my belt so hopefully I will be good for the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50next race. My issue was spinning around after I jumped off the bike.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It hit the front wheel. I had nowhere to go. I hit the spoke of my

2:24:51 > 2:24:50bike and I got six stitches. At the time, I knew it hurt. I couldn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wheel my bike. I ran out of transition and it was still

2:24:51 > 2:24:50painful. But then the adrenaline took over. That covered some of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pain. I took my trainer off at the finish line and I saw how bad it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was. How much training have you been able to do? Not an awful lot. You

2:24:51 > 2:24:50get dealt these cards and you just have to deal with them. I have the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50support from Darren. He has been great over the last few weeks. You

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will be on the start line the number one on your arm. How does that feel?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brilliant. The crowd left me so much. Will be special to go on to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the pontoon first. I am looking forward to hearing the raw. -- war.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The support I have had could not be better. It has helped qualifying for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Commonwealth Games. The winter has been relaxed and I have been

2:24:51 > 2:24:50able to focus on consistency. I have not been forced to peak too early.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It has been brilliant to get the consistency over the winter.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Outsiders like as so the changes in new after the Olympic Games when you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50missed out on that place. Do you credit missing out on a place to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50being the big driving force since then? I think it helps. It forced me

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to make the changes I was scared to make. It forced me to make changes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50with my coach. I have gone from strength to strength with Darren. He

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is brilliant to work with. Stewart, you know Jodie well. Were you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50surprised to see how determined she was? She carried on in Yokohama

2:24:51 > 2:24:50despite her injury. From training with her and seeing the way she is,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over the last two weeks, she will have done everything she could to be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50on the start line today. Her transformation has been building for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50some time. We saw her coming up five years ago. It took some time to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50mature as an athlete. She has really come into her own. She is a strong

2:24:51 > 2:24:50all-round athlete. Non Stanford is the big name that is missing. How

2:24:51 > 2:24:50disappointing do you think it must have been, knowing she will not be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50world champion again this year? She will know about injuries as she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50comes from a running background. It is part of the life of an athlete.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She will be disappointed. She has a problem that is taking some time to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50heal. That gives her an opportunity to work hard on the swim. Her main

2:24:51 > 2:24:50goal is the Commonwealth Games. If she can take a medal at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Commonwealth Games, I think that will be some consolation for her.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jodie has both of those goals. Someone else who could be world

2:24:51 > 2:24:50champion is Helen Jenkins. She is back racing after an injury filled

2:24:51 > 2:24:50year and a half. She is talking about how happy she is to be back on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the start line. How does it feel to be in Hyde Park

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for the first time since the London Olympics? It is good and bad. I am

2:24:51 > 2:24:50excited. How did you cope with the lay-off? And was very hard. Harder

2:24:51 > 2:24:50than I imagined. One of the hardest things was not knowing specifically

2:24:51 > 2:24:50what my injury was. I had many symptoms and it was quite a complex

2:24:51 > 2:24:50injury. I was a bit lost for a while. This time last year, I didn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50know if I would get back to do another triathlon. Do you think you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are a different person from two usable? Yes, I think I probably am.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50-- years ago. It was tough for them my -- tough for my husband and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50myself. He is also an athlete. We had to deal with whether I would be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50coming back. It was a dark time for us. I would not say I was depressed,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50but there were times when it was such a negative environment and it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was tough to get out of. Know you are out of that and are back on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50start line, have you allowed yourself to have some real aims for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50this year? You do start to think about it. I am third in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50rankings. Could I get a medal at the Commonwealth? For this year, I am

2:24:51 > 2:24:50giving myself a year away from the pressure and will just get on with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the racing and see what happens. Jenkins is second. What a comeback!

2:24:51 > 2:24:50How will it be the Commonwealth, racing against Non Stanford? I think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it will be fun. The women's triathlon is one of the first medal

2:24:51 > 2:24:50events of the games. To have a Welsh medal would be amazing. I don't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really mind which one of as it is, as long as there is a Welsh medal.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We will see what happens! It is good to have hell back on the circuit,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50isn't it? Brilliant. She is such a dedicated athlete. She is so strong

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in all three disciplines. The Olympics was such a huge

2:24:51 > 2:24:50disappointment. She sat out for a year and a half. To be on the podium

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in Auckland and Cape Town was amazing. She made the sensible

2:24:51 > 2:24:50decision to miss out from Yokohama. I think we will see a good

2:24:51 > 2:24:50performance from her today. The British squad is so strong in terms

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of strength and depth. With Jodie, Helen Jenkins and a lot more

2:24:51 > 2:24:50besides. I think the Brownlee brothers have set the pace and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everyone wants to be like them. The girls are doing that. It is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fantastic. It used to be just the men, but now it is the woman. If you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50read the selector for the English Commonwealth Games team, who would

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you take alongside Jodie Stimpson? That is difficult. It is a selection

2:24:51 > 2:24:50race today between Vicky Holland and Lucy. Katie Houston could also do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50well. We will have to wait and see how it pans out today. The women are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50behind us, running through transition, being announced onto the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium. Let's get your predictions. This is a really hard one to call.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It would take a very brave man or woman to bet against Gwen Jorgensen.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Anything can happen. Helen is racing, Jodie is racing, Lucy Hall

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is here. They will have to swim hard to have any chance at all of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50dropping Gwen Jorgensen. Do you think it will be difficult to get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the break? Very difficult over this distance, that is for sure. The wet

2:24:51 > 2:24:50suit swim will suit Gwen Jorgensen. I don't want to make a call! If she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is anywhere near the front of the bike, it is very difficult for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50anyone to beat her on the run. It certainly is. And we should not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50forget about her American team-mate. She won the Plymouth sprint race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She is a bit of an unknown quality here. She crashed out of Cape Town

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and was disqualified in Auckland. And your pick for overall world

2:24:51 > 2:24:50champion? I would put it on Gwen Jorgensen. It is time for the elite

2:24:51 > 2:24:50women's race. They are ready to go, 65 of them due

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to start. That is the world number two in the neoprene and hair orange

2:24:51 > 2:24:50swim as we look down at the Serpentine again. Lehtera might you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50how the series has developed so far. We began in all last -- Auckland

2:24:51 > 2:24:50then travelled to Cape Town and then Japan and now we are in London. A

2:24:51 > 2:24:50single lap in the water of the Serpentine, into transition and then

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for five kilometre by collapse within the Rowntree's of the Royal

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park taking in both northern southern sides of the park, on both

2:24:51 > 2:24:50sides of the Serpentine, including a trip down to Hyde Park Corner they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50do that four times. And then to short to put five kilometre laps on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50two feet, 5000 metre run to round things off. After London we head

2:24:51 > 2:24:50back across the Atlantic to Chicago, crisscrossing Europe and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50North America to Stockholm, and finally to the grand final

2:24:51 > 2:24:50North America to Stockholm, and Edmonton, a brutal schedule. It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50North America to Stockholm, and concludes on September the 1st in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Edmonton, Canada. It is an overcast afternoon now,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Edmonton, Canada. It is an overcast sunshine at times this morning. It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is cloudy and little darker now. Jodie Stimpson as the world number

2:24:51 > 2:24:50one words in one. The triathletes are being introduced

2:24:51 > 2:24:50onto the podium. Here is the start list. It reflects the current

2:24:51 > 2:24:50standings. Stimpson as the world number one leading the standings.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She has had a victory in the first round in Auckland. A win in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second round in Cape Town and then that form that we saw in the piece

2:24:51 > 2:24:50earlier, she was forced down to ninth place Gwen Jorgensen taking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the win in Yokohama. We know she is a run of the highest quality and can

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make up a minute, possibly two minutes. She may not have to do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that. Gwen Jorgensen in this sprint distance of five, to run represents

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the greatest threat to Jodie Stimpson's desire to win on home

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turf. Anne Haug of Germany is also a threat. Number five today. She had a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really good season in 2013. Hasn't got a victory so far this year,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second behind Stinson in Auckland. And sixth behind her in Cape Town.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Emma Jackson is probably the leading Australian, Emma Moffatt not here.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Emma Jackson wears number eight. We see a return to date, after quite a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50gap, when she has been racing the longer distances, of releasing

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alden, the big silver medallist involved in that sprint finish and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was denied the gold by 1000th of a second. They are ready to go. Round

2:24:51 > 2:24:50four of the woman's World Triathlon Series in London. Lined up on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pontoon. The last few seconds before the start, we get the drum roll. A

2:24:51 > 2:24:50single lap to swim in the Serpentine. 40 acre lake created in

2:24:51 > 2:24:501730. Water from the Serpentine pumped into the lake from three

2:24:51 > 2:24:50boreholes within Hyde Park, and refreshed regularly. Here we go.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Final seconds before the start, everybody eager to get going, they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are forced to hold for considerable time on the blue carpet on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pontoon. Into the Serpentine for the start. Round four of the World

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Triathlon Series four 2014. And away, heading out, west along the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Serpentine towards Kensington -- Kensington Gardens where they will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they will circle behind the blue they will circle behind the blue

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pontoon, and exit on the bottom right of your screen. Early pace

2:24:51 > 2:24:50likely to, from Alice Betto, one of the decent swimmers. It is Olive

2:24:51 > 2:24:50area of Brazil, choose another one who fast in the water. Like Richard

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Varga did in the men's race, pushing the pace is nice and early, looking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to stretch them, she is a decent runner, but she needs to make up

2:24:51 > 2:24:50some ground here. Gwen Jorgensen and Stimpson will be looking to not get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50too far behind for stop --. Stimpson described that injury as a dark

2:24:51 > 2:24:50place. Helen Jenkins won the title in 2008. And in 2011. Here she is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50racing again in Hyde Park where she finished fifth in the Olympic

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Games, having been struggling with that injury in August, 2012. Helen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jenkins finished fifth in the Olympic race. So, on their way, the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Arrowhead forming. The early pace coming from the Brazilian, starting

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to get a little tighter now. Colder conditions this afternoon, pretty

2:24:51 > 2:24:50warm when the sun was blazing down, more appropriate for top-level

2:24:51 > 2:24:50racing this afternoon on the Olympic course.

2:24:51 > 2:24:5015 degrees this morning, gone 1 degrees this morning. Water

2:24:51 > 2:24:50temperature, pretty OK for the girls with wet suits on, a bit cold when

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you first diving but you quickly warm up. The outside temperature, it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is pretty muddy, although it looks cold, and that could play a part on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the bike race and on the run. They are making a turn, this is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50where we saw all sorts of troubles for some of the men getting ducked

2:24:51 > 2:24:50under, the women are no less brittle in these situations, everybody

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pushing and shoving bosses -- for position as the Megan attended

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turnaround the second inflatable ball for stop somebody got whacked,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50head, number 43, that was Elena Danilova getting an elbow in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50back of the head. That will hurt. Quite a big spread in the fields. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have got seven or eight out in front. We had a massive pack on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50men's race on the bike stage and we expect a similar sort of group

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pushing for the lead on the women's race. You can see the crowds

2:24:51 > 2:24:50gathered on the far side. On the southern bank of the Serpentine. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Princess of Wales Memorial fund and there. -- fountain there. One to got

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in real trouble on the turn. It is tough, the boys come pretty

2:24:51 > 2:24:50soon after the athletes have gone into the water from the pontoon.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50When they reach this they are still bunched up. They are swimming up the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50top of one another. Back in front of the light go.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Lots of the light go.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50thankfully it is a dry day. Under 400 metres to swim, Olive area of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brazil who has been pushing the pace. Pamela Oliveira. No sign of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jodie Stimpson or Helen Jenkins or Gwen Jorgensen. The leader at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front is Anne Haug from Germany. She has had some success in the past, a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50good sprinter, likes the sprint distance, she won in Hamburg last

2:24:51 > 2:24:50year on home turf over the shorter, sprint distance race for stop we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will keep an eye on her position. That is Katie Hersey, she has been

2:24:51 > 2:24:50talked about a lot for stop she is a bright prospect for the future.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She certainly is. She has slipped into this race a bit quietly. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50don't know if a lot of the athletes have paid much attention to a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second-place finish. That was back in March. She won the Plymouth World

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Cup, also over the sprint distance. Unfortunately she had a crash so we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50haven't seen her race since. I think she will be strong here today.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50These days the World Cup is the lower level of triathlon races, the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second division if you like, below the World Triathlon Series. It used

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to be at the top of the tree but the World Triathlon Series which is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50eight races this year is very much the pinnacle. 24 is Lucy Hall from

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Greg Britain. She had a storming swim in the Olympics. As when has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50slightly slow top. She is deciding to stay within the pack and conserve

2:24:51 > 2:24:50energy. She needs to be pushing the pace, taking the likes of Helen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jenkins with her, Jodie Stimpson, giving them a chance to break away

2:24:51 > 2:24:50from Gwen Jorgensen who is virtually unbeatable.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Lucy Hall was in the Olympic triathlon, very much to help Helen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jenkins in 2012, a strong swimmer. Jenkins with the injury never really

2:24:51 > 2:24:50got going in the final part of the triathlon, ended up fifth. Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Betto who we suspected, triathlon, ended up fifth. Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is also no different of the field. They are about to make the final

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turn behind the blue pontoon and they will exit the water and head

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for transition. Perhaps a few

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for transition. unlike in the men's race where we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50saw three very strong swimmers go off the front and the rest of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50saw three very strong swimmers go pack literally stay together. Very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult to do any serious damage in this sort of distance.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is a good boating lake, they have closed off half of it but a few

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spectators out there in their peddlers and rowing boats which they

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have hired. You peddlers and rowing boats which they

2:24:51 > 2:24:5015 of them, just keeping and I on the triathlon. The women

2:24:51 > 2:24:5015 of them, just keeping and I on learned from the mistakes of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50man-made at the end of their swim when some of them went round the red

2:24:51 > 2:24:50buoy rather than going between the yellow and red ones. Sharp left-hand

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turn. They head for the exit buoys and the steps that take them back

2:24:51 > 2:24:50onto the blue pontoon, they can make their way to transition. And the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50American, she leads them through. Very new to the sport and it would

2:24:51 > 2:24:50be interesting to see what she does on the bike. She crashed out in Cape

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Town. That is some of the problems, she has got the engine, the ability

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and the talent, but she needs experience on the bike and if this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50comes down to tight bike pack she will feel uncomfortable.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50In Auckland it was Stimson, Anne Haug, Jenkins. In Cape Town it was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimpson, Jenkins, Gwen Jorgensen, and in Yokohama Gwen Jorgensen got

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the victory, followed by either wader of Japan, and the Polish

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athlete came through. They are out of the water in under nine minutes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50at the end of the swim, we will get a full check of exactly who is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50where. second in transition. Gwen Jorgensen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50starts to stretch out of her wet suit. No need to rush. Jenkins is a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50little off the pace. Likely to be in the front group when they head out

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for the first of their four collapse on two wheels. She is stamping her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50authority in all three sports, Gwen Jorgensen. So far, this race is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50playing into her hands. At the moment, Gwen Jorgensen is favourite

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for this in London. Let's see how that develops. They grabbed their

2:24:51 > 2:24:50bikes. Huge group heading out for the first lap of four. Annie how

2:24:51 > 2:24:50from Germany is such a strong athlete, but if she doesn't get her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50swim right, then she's in trouble. She is very strong on the bike. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50can do all sorts of things. We can join Graham Bell and Stewart his.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Great swim from Gwen Jorgensen. The fastest we have seen her come out of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the water. It is much more spread out than in the men's race. The pack

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is much smaller. This time, it might all come together. We were talking

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about bike techniques and bike handling earlier. Gwen Jorgensen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50crashed on this race last year in the world championships finals.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50crashed on this race last year in is dry this time. Last time, it was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wet. I am sure she will be fine. How do you see this race panning out? It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is hard to see. We will wait and see.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There is the American, number 50, taking her place at the front of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pack. Lucy Hall, number 24, is in fourth position. There is Aileen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Reid of Ireland who has some work to do to catch the leading group.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Reid of Ireland who has some work to is with the athlete from South

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Africa. Good day for them so far both Murray doing so well. There are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gwen Jorgensen on the last corner nine or ten in the leading pack.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gwen Jorgensen on the last corner was very cautious as she went round

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the bend. She will have memories of last year when she came down so

2:24:51 > 2:24:50heavily. That always leaves a little bit of worry and doubt. Will the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50same thing happened? The conditions are much better today as there is no

2:24:51 > 2:24:50rain. The crash last year took place in front of the net -- in front of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Victoria Memorial in front of the palace. Today, they will not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50leave the park. They are on their way. We have 11 at the front of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50field. A front group of 11. That is a nice pack to work with on this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50course. I was surprised at how split up that swim came out after 750

2:24:51 > 2:24:50metres. That looks like a significant gap. The Spanish athlete

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is so strong in the swim. I think she is the fiance of Mario Mola who

2:24:51 > 2:24:50won the men's race this morning. She will be looking for the double. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50think we can see Rebecca Robisch from Germany. Hall is there. No sign

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of Jodie Stimpson or Helen Jenkins at this stage. Jodie Stimpson is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50recovering from a nastier foot injury. In this chase pack, I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50imagine we have the likes of Jenkins. We have Jenkins, Holland

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and Jodie Stimpson in this chase group. The three of them have a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50chance to work together to bridge group. The three of them have a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the gap with the leaders. They are 17 seconds off

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the gap with the leaders. They are have some work to do over the 20

2:24:51 > 2:24:50kilometres. At the back of that group, one of the Canadians.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50kilometres. At the back of that number 11 from Japan. They are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50behind the Italian garden at Hyde Park Corner. There is the statue of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Wellington. Become past the memorial to the seven July Bombings. Some of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the main British athletes are trying to make some inroads into the front

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pack. They are approaching the end of the first lap of four. 15 minutes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of the triathlon have ticked away. In and out of the water in under ten

2:24:51 > 2:24:50minutes in the shortened sprint today. Lucy Hall is so far the best

2:24:51 > 2:24:50placed of the British triathletes. She is looking around to see if she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50can spot her fellow British athletes, but they are 17 seconds

2:24:51 > 2:24:50behind. Sarah Groff of the USA is there. Number 37 coming through is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50from Spain. The Serpentine on the There is Jodie Stimpson in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50group. But the FirstGroup have arrived to finish things off at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50end of lap one. Carolina Routier leads. Then Sarah Groff and Katie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hersey from America. I think Rebecca Robisch is the only German in this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50group. Then the gap to the next gap is down to 15 seconds. They have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50taken a is down to 15 seconds. They have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lead during that first lap. Vicky Holland's name flashed up. We know

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that Jenkins is involved in the chase group. We are now back with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the leaders. Lucy Hall get out of the saddle in ninth position and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50starts to inject some pace. There are three Americans in this group.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It looks like the third pack have It looks like the third pack have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50just gone over the timing mat. Annie Haug is in that group. Not too huge

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a distance between Haug is in that group. Not too huge

2:24:51 > 2:24:50third group. With Annie Haug being such a strong cyclist, I think it is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50third group. With Annie Haug being only a matter of time until some of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50these groups come together. Let's follow them from the helicopter as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they make their way to the early stages of the second lap. This is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the fourth group coming through to finish their first lap. Number 54 is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Chelsea Burns. Cheers from the United States. Back with the leaders

2:24:51 > 2:24:50now -- she is from the United States. They are taking their time

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and care are taking their time and. A good opportunity for the second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pack to get a look at the first pack. The need to start working out

2:24:51 > 2:24:50because the front pack is quite committed. Lucy Hall is in a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult situation. She is the only British athlete in this group. So

2:24:51 > 2:24:50does she work or try to slowly pack down? Some speed bumps to negotiate

2:24:51 > 2:24:50all around the park. Apart from that, it is flat all the way. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have an athlete down. She is from Russia. Number 14 -- number 40. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50didn't see what happened. She is out of the race. They cross the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Serpentine Bridge. Gwen Jorgensen is up with the late. Who can you see

2:24:51 > 2:24:50beating her in a five kilometres that race? It is really her race for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the taking if she stays on her bike and keeps out of trouble. It would

2:24:51 > 2:24:50be a brave person to bet against her. The dark horse for the missed

2:24:51 > 2:24:50her last two races. This five kilometres will perhaps not be her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50best distance. Past the tennis courts and the Bowling Green.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Alongside South carriage drive. The northern end takes you up to Hyde

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park Corner. You can see the Royal Albert Hall and the Memorial to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Prince Albert. That graphic didn't make sense because the German

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athlete is with the leaders. Number 26 is Nicky Samuels from New

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Zealand. Nicky Samuels is a product of age group racing. She managed to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make the change over to elite racing and has done very well. Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimpson, world number one, still working with the chase group. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has many riders for company. Katie Hewison is out of the race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has many riders for company. Katie Yokohama. She is just off the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium. Fourth in Auckland. Yokohama. She is just off the

2:24:51 > 2:24:5015 has a lot of experience. There is Helen Jenkins. Vicky Holland at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50front is doing a lot of work. She is up for the second or third spot in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Commonwealth team. She needs to put in a good performance today.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Down towards Hyde Park Corner. You can see the gates leading out to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Constitution Hill. Read with one of the riders alongside her. No sign

2:24:51 > 2:24:50yet of the Polish triathletes who made such an impact. She was third

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in Yokohama last time around. We have not spotted her. She is number

2:24:51 > 2:24:5014. We will try to see how she is doing. Look at the number of rowing

2:24:51 > 2:24:50boats out on the Serpentine enjoying the warm weather. Let's hope it is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the start of another glorious summer. 24 on the right is Lucy

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hall. The leader for Great Britain so far. Rebecca Robisch of Germany

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is not far behind her. The three Americans are in there. They are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50communicating all the time, working out their tactics. Jenkins and Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimpson have lost ground. We think the group containing Vicky Holland,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jodie Stimpson and Helen Jenkins is going backwards. It is difficult to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50work out what is going on. I think this group is slightly better. It is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hard to get some order. Some of the athletes not wanting to take their

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turn and that will slowly pack up. We would like to see the group come

2:24:51 > 2:24:50together and have all the runners going out. Jenkins went so well in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Auckland and Cape Town. And Jodie Stimpson who is the curl -- current

2:24:51 > 2:24:50leader in the world rankings. The gap has been between 17 and 19

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seconds. This group is about 20 strong. This

2:24:51 > 2:24:50has to be the third group here, coming through our picture, which as

2:24:51 > 2:24:50far as we know contains Anne Haug from Germany, a strong cyclist but

2:24:51 > 2:24:50not up there today. We haven't mentioned Lisa Snowdon, the current

2:24:51 > 2:24:50silver medallist, back here racing on the short course for the first

2:24:51 > 2:24:50time in a year, she had a year out, left her coach, and has gone back to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50him this year. The first time she is racing on the World Triathlon

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Series. We will keep you updated. Back with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the leaders, Gwen Jorgensen steering clear of danger. Holding them up at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the back of the field, applying the brakes as they make this left-hand

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turn, this triangle, this traffic island, which represents the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50northern end of the bike loop here. And I think that might have just

2:24:51 > 2:24:50narrowed very slightly. And I think that might have just

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the leaders on the top right of screen, the chasers, bottom left.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Certainly hanging onto them, the isn't getting any bigger.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We have got trouble in transition. And one of the Americans is down.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50And that is Chelsea And one of the Americans is down.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50had the carpet hard and she has taken Anna Haag out with her, she is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50getting back in the saddle but I think her race is over as she lies

2:24:51 > 2:24:50down in the transition area. Let's see if we can see what happened

2:24:51 > 2:24:50between the American and German. There is she wearing number five,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Burns leans in. Goodness me, she takes her with her. There is a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50coming together of bodies and bags. Looks like a rugby rock. Anne

2:24:51 > 2:24:50happened. She crawls away from the incident looking for her bike again.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The medics will be required to get to transition and take care of her.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It looks like she just hit the wheel in front of her, if it is your back

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will you find that if it is your front wheel, you are in trouble.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There is very little control over the bike.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Pamela Oliveira at the front. Communication in amongst this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50leading group. Samuels takes her turn. They will all be aware within

2:24:51 > 2:24:50their number sits calmly at the back of the pack, the best runner in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon, Gwen Jorgensen, who could easily take a two minute lead at the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50end of the bike and force her way back to the front. Samuels waves her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50right arm and invites Pamela Oliveira to come through.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50right arm and invites Pamela other nasty incident in transition

2:24:51 > 2:24:50which was witnessed by Graham Bell Stuart Hayes.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We saw that right in front of us. We were talking earlier, the transition

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is very narrow. The transition is very narrow, they don't have much

2:24:51 > 2:24:50space. I think that was just an error by the girls on the floor, she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50had the will and went down. When you go down as hard as that,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50she is lying on the course, the transition has got even narrower.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50They are going to have to move out of the way if they are going to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50carry on, but not looking good for that poor girl.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We have also got all the issues that are now sticking out into the trap.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You were saying that prevents some kind of danger as well.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50If someone clips issue on the way fast they will hit the deck and fall

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over. That is making the space really narrow will

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over. That is making the space The lead group has a little bit more

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over. That is making the space time to come around so let's hope

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they can clear the track. They have just put out some yellow

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they can clear the track. pollard in front of our commentary

2:24:51 > 2:24:50box to put a protective ring around Chelsea Burns who is still in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition lying down. We cannot see but she is behind a barrier. That is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50what is going on. The paramedics are there. There is a stretcher ready to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50take there. There is a stretcher ready to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they will want to stabilise her body position. The riders

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they will want to stabilise her body flagged at the end of the next lap

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and asks to care, avoiding the Casualty.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Really willing her to get up. The health and safety and well-being of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50our athletes are at the utmost importance. She is still down in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition area. Looking a little bit worrying.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50They are within the last six kilometres of the bike. Some of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athletes' placings on the transition with their names on whether boxes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50containing the equipment are now inaccessible because of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50protective ring around Chelsea Burns. We are slightly concerned

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about what will happen. 27, the best of the Germans so far,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50best position of the Germans so far. The angle and little deceptive. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second group looked like they have made up some time that we are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50looking similar time difference from the lead group Alice Betto foresees

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the pace at the front of the field. Samuels for company. Pamela Oliveira

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of Brazil. Within this group the chase pack, there are Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimpson, Helen Jenkins, and Vicky Holland 's. At the moment, the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50paramedics are putting a neck brace on to Chelsea Burns, the red flag is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50waived to signal the danger area, the officials are standing there,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Katie Hursey comes through, the officials are standing there,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the group. Thank goodness it is not a bigger group than that. The

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Casualty is still being attended to and the blue carpet. This Israeli

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult for the other athletes to see. We don't want anybody to get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hurt, to see an athlete still down, it will really play on their minds.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There is Helen Jenkins. Just back from injury. What a comeback kid has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50been for Jenkins, taking third place behind Stimpson and Anne Haug in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Auckland and second place behind Stimpson intake down. -- in Cape

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Town. We heard the Brownlee brothers and Gomez talk about it, Gomez was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50particularly keen to emphasise they need to change it. And there are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50happy scenes in transition. I am happy to say Chelsea Burns, the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50American, is wearing a neck brace but has somehow managed to get back

2:24:51 > 2:24:50on her feet. You mentioned the World Series, it is certainly an

2:24:51 > 2:24:50interesting one. It is different to the last few years with not one, not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to, but three sprint distance races in the series. For me, it is a bit

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of a runners series. It is playing into the hands of the runners.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Absolutely, I agree entirely. London is sprint, Chicago is Olympic,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hamburg and Stockholm are both sprint distance,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hamburg and Stockholm are both grand finale which is also a full

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Olympic distance. The common wealth games which affects the Australians,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50New Zealanders, South Africans and British athletes is Olympic distance

2:24:51 > 2:24:50-- Commonwealth Games. There is a relay event within the Commonwealth

2:24:51 > 2:24:50games this summer as well for the Edmonton the final race in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50series, perhaps a little trickier than some of the races, but we don't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50see a race where there is a really challenging bike, really puts the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50athletes on the line, challenging bike, really puts the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have to prove you are a strong cyclist. All the courses this year

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have been very flat. Chelsea Burns has just left

2:24:51 > 2:24:50transition area with the paramedics, and I guess she will be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50off to the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, that will be the closest

2:24:51 > 2:24:50medical Hospital, that will be the closest

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Serpentine Bridge again, going south, before turning sharp left to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50head towards Hyde Park Corner. Number five is Anne Haug who was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50involved in a collision with Chelsea Burns. She has the unenviable task

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of having to go it alone during the bike leg, nobody to help her, nobody

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to draft in behind, she is a one-woman race. Really difficult

2:24:51 > 2:24:50when that happens, do she give up or keep going, she thought I have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50travelled all the way home, do I want to go home empty-handed, at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50least if she had a race in her legs she conceived as a training race and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50find herself one step closer to race fitness.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50They go parallel to the main thoroughfare, up to Hyde Park

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Corner, and Southbridge drive. -- South carriage drive. This group has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50established and maintaining Italy. At the moment it is Sarah Groff, she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will be aware of the Gwen Jorgensen threat. Starting to lick her lips

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and think this race is mine with her running ability, she is approaching

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the end of the bike, she stayed clear of trouble, which wasn't the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50case 12 months ago when she crashed in front of Buckingham Palace. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stayed on her bike today. 23 coming through. Aileen Reid from Ireland, a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pretty solid season so far. She is with a front group. 24, Lucy Hall,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the best of the British triathletes, Stimpson, Jenkins,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Holland in the chase group. Paul, is the best of the swimmers, is the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50only British representative in the front group -- Lucy Hall. Katie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hursey, the highly rated American, never 50. They are starting to think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about the return to transition and the climax of the 20, the bike leg.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The only thing I could see changing in this race when out in terms of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50this bike is perhaps these girls sitting in an starting to think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about the transition, starting to remove their feet and little bit

2:24:51 > 2:24:50early and giving that second at the Jazz to come forward and break into

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that 22nd a little bit. 20 seconds over five kilometres may not seem a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lot but it is. -- 20 seconds. Will she cruise out of transition

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and sit tight in a small Will she cruise out of transition

2:24:51 > 2:24:50before beginning her time? She has the lecturing, if she is fit and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fast, as normal, Gwen Jorgensen has the luxury of being able to pick

2:24:51 > 2:24:50when she can kick away from the group and strike for the front and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make the race her rental stock Holland out of the saddle in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50chase group. Around the left-hander at Hyde Park Corner. The statue of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Achilles behind, brought from the canons, melted down from the battles

2:24:51 > 2:24:50including Waterloo, Toulouse, Salamanca, commissioned by King

2:24:51 > 2:24:50George III. Lucy Hall. Gwen Jorgensen. Sarah Groff, Gwen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jorgensen, always there or thereabouts. Katie Hursey as well,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50unknown, but we know she can run fast over five K. At the moment we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50definitely, Aileen Reid, who got at India last year, a very strong

2:24:51 > 2:24:50runner. Three or four pretty decent runners in this pack. Gwen Jorgensen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is out of the saddle, starting to feel the way to the front of this

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lead group. Samuels is having a look as well. They are all barefoot now,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50apart from one or two. They are resting their feet on top of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pedals, getting ready for a quick entry and exit to transition.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You can see the white dismount line. That was a costly to Jonathan

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brownlee in 2012. They will have to be off their bikes, the red flag

2:24:51 > 2:24:50clearly showing the way. I can see no infringement is there as Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Betto leads them with Lucy Hall, Gwen Jorgensen is at the back,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50doesn't care too much about being at the front of this group. There is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Sarah Groff, the first of the Americans to hang up her bike. Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Betto, a good swimmer up with the leaders on the bike. Can she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50maintain that sort of pace on two feet now. Gwen Jorgensen arrives

2:24:51 > 2:24:50calmly at her place. She has to get things right here and make sure the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50bike helmet hits the mark. It is in the box, no penalties for Jorgensen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and she leaves transition in about seventh or eighth position to stop

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the chasing group which seventh or eighth position to stop

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jenkins and Stimpson, the 111, seventh or eighth position to stop

2:24:51 > 2:24:50shoes. And swiftly out of transition. Verge of Austria with

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimson behind, the Japanese, and Helen Jenkins on away as well. If

2:24:51 > 2:24:50they do not get their helmet in the box, they will get a penalty. We

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have seen that before. It is so frustrating. That pack were so

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have seen that before. It is so but not able to do anything about

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it. So they run begins. Two collapse of 2.5 kilometres. -- laps. Vicky

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Holland going round the bend. Helen Jenkins had a problem in transition.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The third pack are coming in no. Jenkins had a problem in transition.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50There is an yesteryear is a coming in in the third group -- there is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Polish athlete in the third group, so I don't think any

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fireworks like we saw in Yokohama. Gwen Jorgensen is an amazing

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position. Just catching her breath. Don't want to speak too soon, but we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have kind of seamless too many times. How long shall we give her? I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50guess it depends. If anyone can go with her over the shorter distance.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is not ten kilometres, it is five kilometres. Will she be able to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50engage Gwen Jorgensen in asp went finish, Sarah Groff? Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50engage Gwen Jorgensen in asp went just behind the Japanese athlete. 25

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seconds down after the bike leg. Over ten kilometres, I would say

2:24:51 > 2:24:50that Jodie Stimpson could catch up some of that. But it will be tough

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over five kilometres. There is the leader. She has made the break. Gwen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jorgensen get some daylight between her and her compatriot, Sarah Groff.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She tries but fails to respond to the early kick. The winner in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Yokohama looking forward to two in a row. It is an effortless running

2:24:51 > 2:24:50style from Gwen Jorgensen who had such a brilliant season last year.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She continued her form with a win in Stockholm. She was omnipresent in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the top five all season. So far in 2014, a similar story. She is -- she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was not involved in Auckland, but finished third in Cape Town and was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the winner in Yokohama. 42 minutes of the triathlon has gone. And we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have Gwen Jorgensen leading the way of the triathlon has gone. And we

2:24:51 > 2:24:50as expected. You have to take your hat off to Annie Haug. She was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50involved in that horrible crash with Chelsea Burns from the United

2:24:51 > 2:24:50States. Gwen Jorgensen just bouncing along. Doesn't seem to be any major

2:24:51 > 2:24:50effort from her yet. She is a race leader. She looks so relaxed.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Virtually perfect running technique. Jodie Stimpson will be trying to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make up for that very difficult race she had in Yokohama, when of course

2:24:51 > 2:24:50she crashed. Just deciding to stick him with the Japanese athlete who is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50no slouch when it comes to the run. It is unlikely that Jodie Stimpson

2:24:51 > 2:24:50will get anywhere near when Jorgensen. -- Gwen Jorgensen. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50was out of the top ten in Auckland. We will have to see Jodie Williams

2:24:51 > 2:24:50work hard here to ensure she is well inside the top ten if she is to hold

2:24:51 > 2:24:50onto her leadership today. No stress from Gwen Jorgensen. Nobody for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50company. Sarah Groff in second. The tussle for leadership did not

2:24:51 > 2:24:50happen. We might see Sarah Groff move from further -- we might see a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50move from further back in the field to challenge Sarah Groff. Annie Haug

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is working hard after her crash in transition with Chelsea Burns. At

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the moment, the way things stand, there is a chance of an American in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50first place and second-place. Nicky Samuels is in third. This kind of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pace could help the likes of Jenkins. No-one can stay with Sarah

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Groff. I think some athletes will drop of the case. -- peace.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50You can see Jodie Stimpson forcing her way up the field steadily. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is in ninth position. Good effort so far from the world number one. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is from Oldbury in the West Midlands. She is making ground. I am

2:24:51 > 2:24:50surprised to see her catching them so quickly. Helen Jenkins is in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50background. I think the sprint distance is not one that suits

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Helen. She does not have the super-speed you need for sprint

2:24:51 > 2:24:50distance. 2.5 kilometres down, 2.5 to go. It looks like a certain when

2:24:51 > 2:24:50for Gwen Jorgensen if she says at this sort of pace. 13 seconds is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50already her lead to her compatriot, Sarah Groff. She holds second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position. Alice Betto and Nicky Samuels are assured -- shoulder to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50shoulder for third. You can hear the crowd cheered because they have

2:24:51 > 2:24:50spotted Jodie Stimpson who is in seventh position. The chase group on

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the bike never really made an impact. Now is the time for Jodie

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Stimpson to do some damage. Gwen Jorgensen is out on her own. She is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50eating up the crowd at Hyde Park. She will eyeball the next best. She

2:24:51 > 2:24:50goes one way and Sarah Groff goes one other -- goes the other. It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50doesn't look like Sarah Groff is running that fast, but she can be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50deceptive. Nicky Samuels cannot stay with her. Jodie Stimpson is in fifth

2:24:51 > 2:24:50place. A burst of speed from Jackson. She has tried to shake off

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jodie Stimpson. There is Vicky Holland making the turn alongside

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Helen Jenkins. Alice Betto and Nicky Samuels are fighting for third

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position at the moment. Nicky Samuels is working very hard. Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Betto looks more relaxed. She is holding her own. You can see the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50very graceful Gwen Jorgensen. Deep in the final lap. The final stage is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50about to unfold after 48 and a half minutes. Nicky Samuels of New

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Zealand is fourth. But here comes Emma Jackson, number eight, for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Australia. She has suddenly found a burst of speed to get past Alice

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Betto and Nicky Samuels to take up third place in her own right.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jackson is up to third. Jodie Stimpson is closing in on sixth

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position no. Aileen Reid for Ireland is in 10th

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position. Jackson is bobbing along no. It looks like Sarah Groff is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50safe, but Jackson is going at some pace. She could be caught by Emma

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jackson. She was second on that big climbs through the mountains in the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Austrian Alps last summer. That was her best result. The race

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Austrian Alps last summer. That was Jodie Stimpson. Emma Jackson was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50second behind her with Annie Haug in third. She seems to be thriving in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50these cool, flat conditions in London today.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50these cool, flat conditions in position. Emma Jackson of Australia

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is third, with Sarah Groff in her sights. She is closing the gap. Has

2:24:51 > 2:24:50she got enough tarmac underfoot? With exactly 1100 metres to run.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jodie Stimpson is in seven. Can she climb higher to maintain her lead at

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the top of the World Triathlon Series standings? Alice Betto and

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Nicky Samuels are shoulder to shoulder. A race for Italy and New

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Zealand. We can see when Jorgensen making her way heading back to the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50blue carpet. Once again, just as we saw in Yokohama, she is making it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50look just that little bit too easy. Gwen Jorgensen is round the hairpin

2:24:51 > 2:24:50turn and will cruise home to another victory. She won on 17th may in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Yokohama and will win comfortably today, even more comfortably than in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50round three in Japan. Her swing that was the key today. She did not get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50left behind. She came out of the water in contention and latched onto

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the front group on two wheels. She stayed out of trouble. 12

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the front group on two wheels. She ago, she hit the deck. Jackson is up

2:24:51 > 2:24:50into third and desperately hunting down Sarah Groff who lies ahead of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50her in second. She is injecting further pace into her race, as she

2:24:51 > 2:24:50looks for her personal best -- looks to equal her personal best of second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50which she got in Austria last summer. I think she will keep

2:24:51 > 2:24:50hounding down Sarah Groff all the way. Gwen Jorgensen can see all the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50others making up the numbers. They still have to head out beyond the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50line of yellow ball yards and make the turn. -- yellow ball hard --

2:24:51 > 2:24:50corns. Alice Betto and Nicky Samuels are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50still fighting it out for third Alice Betto and Nicky Samuels are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fourth position. It has been a fast comeback for Jodie Stimpson after

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the six stitches she had to comeback for Jodie Stimpson after

2:24:51 > 2:24:50her foot. Sarah Groff can feel Jackson breathing down her neck.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Will there be time for the Australian to close down second

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position? It is as -- it is a tall order for Emma Jackson. She is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50encouraged by the crowds. Forget about first position, that is Gwen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Jorgensen. The race is on for the silver medal in Hyde Park. Aileen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Reid has picked up the pace and is just in sixth place. Alice Betto is

2:24:51 > 2:24:50having the race of her life. Nicky Samuels has a lot to prove ahead of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the Commonwealth Games. Let's flip back to what looks like to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50inevitably the champion and Hyde Park. She can relax now. It was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50straightforward, as easy as it comes for someone of her running ability.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50She can start to smile and enjoy the moment as she comes home, easing up

2:24:51 > 2:24:50over the blue carpet, warmly welcomed to the finishing line to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50make it to victories in a row. She won in your karma, she wins again in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Hyde Park in London. -- Yokohama. She takes first position in round

2:24:51 > 2:24:50four of the World Triathlon Series. 54 minutes and 44 seconds. Sarah

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Groff has done enough to hold onto second position. Despite the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50attention of Emma Jackson in third, she was able to stay clear of danger

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and hold onto second. To make it a USA 1-2 in Hyde Park. Jackson takes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50third for Australia. The race is on, this race within a race continues.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50third for Australia. The race is on, The Italian seems to have just about

2:24:51 > 2:24:50edged it, Samuels The Italian seems to have just about

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Here comes Jenkins. Jenkins looking for a top six again. Jenkins takes

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seventh in the end, Hewitt just begging her at the line. Jenkins,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the best of the British. Jodie Stimpson comes home in 11th. Vicky

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Holland is 14th. The Hungarian round of the top 15.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Gwen Jorgensen, fairly out of breath, has Graham Bell to talk to.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Congratulations and stop you have had to nightmare races here in

2:24:51 > 2:24:50London, this one went like a dream. It was a hard race at there, those

2:24:51 > 2:24:50girls were pushing hard. This is clear the memories of the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50crash you had in the no big games, the crucial idea at the world

2:24:51 > 2:24:50championship series final Ustyugov is to mock the love the games was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50just mechanical. I had my first podium here in 2011

2:24:51 > 2:24:50so every race is different and you do your best.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Did it see you, the factor was a sprint format?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50I don't know, they are quick and fast, you just have to be ready to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50go. You're running is kind of like ahead

2:24:51 > 2:24:50of anybody else in the field right now. I really want to get my swim

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and my bike up there so that is what I have been working on. You must

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have been really happy to come out of the lead group in the swim. I had

2:24:51 > 2:24:50a good swim, a slow transition and tried to stick in a front group.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Brilliant, congratulations, and Olsonn result. -- or some result for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stop Helen. In the end it turned do quite a good run in the end. Yes, it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wasn't the best day. I dropped my bike in T2 and made a lot of little

2:24:51 > 2:24:50errors. I felt good on the second lap of the run but a bit too late to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50be on the podium. What happened, even T1 you are quite slow getting a

2:24:51 > 2:24:50wet suit off, not to be picky, sorry? I think I was panicking, I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50had a bad swim, I got flustered, I have got to focus on that stuff. I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50screwed up on a few little things today. You are right on the far

2:24:51 > 2:24:50right, was that a good tactic? I have been swimming well in training

2:24:51 > 2:24:50but it didn't come out well today. I took a bit of a gamble. It didn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pay off today. Do you think you are a little bit rusty after the long

2:24:51 > 2:24:50lay-off? I have been a little bit race rusty in the swim. Identify

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have sworn to my potential in a race. It will come. The crowds are

2:24:51 > 2:24:50fantastic today, it really keeps you motivated.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It is ready great to see you smiling. I think I finished sixth,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50in terms of keeping up my ranking it is good. Good to get the top ten for

2:24:51 > 2:24:50stop I wanted a better day. Congratulations to the girls on the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50podium for the Jodie, leading to plan, did it?

2:24:51 > 2:24:50No. To be honest, I can't expect much I haven't done much in two

2:24:51 > 2:24:50weeks. You cannot come into this class field and not be 100%. I am

2:24:51 > 2:24:50disappointed, there was no way I was gay to miss it if I could race. It

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is London, there are so many people who support me, the least I can do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50is try my best out here. At one stage when you were only 14

2:24:51 > 2:24:50seconds back on the lead group of the bike, did you think you would be

2:24:51 > 2:24:50able to get them in? To be honest, yes, if I was all guns blazing I

2:24:51 > 2:24:50would have done more at the front for stop but knowing that I didn't

2:24:51 > 2:24:50have the legs today. I just couldn't push. There was no way I could do

2:24:51 > 2:24:50it, not being one and a percent. I am disappointed I couldn't give

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everybody a better show and get a GB girl on the podium. Hopefully next

2:24:51 > 2:24:50time. Hopefully the injury has healed,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50just a question of getting the running legs back.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50It was strapped up today, still slightly open, but definitely

2:24:51 > 2:24:50healing well. It is just a case of getting my head down, getting some

2:24:51 > 2:24:50trading them for the Commonwealth games.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Thank you Bray much. -- thank you very much.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Helen, Jodie and Gwen and we have got to give her lot of credit,

2:24:51 > 2:24:50talking about how tough the race was. But Gwen

2:24:51 > 2:24:50absolutely easy. She makes it look easy because you

2:24:51 > 2:24:50such a fast runner. She is the best runner in the world. We have got to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50take our hats off to Helen and Jodie for stop Jodie has had her foot

2:24:51 > 2:24:50injury and she has had her her stitches taken out. All our goals

2:24:51 > 2:24:50are suited more to the Olympic race. What must have been going through

2:24:51 > 2:24:50their minds, especially Helen and Jodie, when they saw Gwen had come

2:24:51 > 2:24:50out of the water and had a strong swim. She was on that front bike

2:24:51 > 2:24:50back. -- pack. Anything can happen. This can cause

2:24:51 > 2:24:50-- this course suits Gwen. It Israeli flat. You don't need to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50break. Surprising not to see Helen Israeli flat. You don't need to

2:24:51 > 2:24:50and Jodie in the lead pack but maybe something went wrong in as well.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50We had Lucy Hall, the other Olympian at 2012, she was in a difficult

2:24:51 > 2:24:50position for she try and slow the pack down to wait for her team-mates

2:24:51 > 2:24:50order she race on a rain, what to do think she was thinking? I think

2:24:51 > 2:24:50today she was working for herself. She has to think about her own

2:24:51 > 2:24:50career. She was doing the best you can for herself. You could see the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Park, she was helping, but she was thinking about her own race.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50Helen thinking about how the crowds gave her a big surge, that is then

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you have experienced was up how much will that have helped Jodie with her

2:24:51 > 2:24:50injury and Helen who isn't at her racing peak.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50The crowd here is amazing. We have 5000 Edinburgh tomorrow, ever

2:24:51 > 2:24:50triathlon has come to Hyde Park it has taken off, and it helps with the

2:24:51 > 2:24:50great support today. Let's bring in Annie. You called it

2:24:51 > 2:24:50with Gwen and she did it. I didn't think we were going to get

2:24:51 > 2:24:50any surprises will stop when we saw her come out of the swim in one of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the best positions, the best position she has ever come out of

2:24:51 > 2:24:50the swim in, I didn't think was game over but it was gained be very

2:24:51 > 2:24:50difficult for anyone else to beat her. Did the athletes think it was

2:24:51 > 2:24:50game over? That distance stayed till about 20 seconds, they didn't make

2:24:51 > 2:24:50any inroads but didn't drop back either. That was strange for stop

2:24:51 > 2:24:50really surprised they went able to work together and catch the front

2:24:51 > 2:24:50pack. Everybody knows if you keep working

2:24:51 > 2:24:50you can stay away. 20 seconds going into five K is a lot. That is why

2:24:51 > 2:24:50everybody was working so hard on the bikes.

2:24:51 > 2:24:50That is London done and dusted, halfway through the series. Next up

2:24:51 > 2:24:50to Chicago in month. That is on the weekend of the 28th and the 29th of
