Beth Potter and Alex Yee in ‘best ever’ Team GB Olympic triathlon squad
- Britons won test events in Paris during summer
- Johnny Brownlee back in contention after injury
Team GB triathlon’s squad for Paris 2024 is shaping up as its best ever for an Olympics, its performance director has predicted, after naming world champion Beth Potter and Tokyo 2020 gold and silver medallist Alex Yee as his first two names on the train to France.
Mike Cavendish flagged Potter and Yee, who won their Olympic test events in Paris this summer, as having outstanding chances for gold and said he had high hopes in the mixed relay too. But he stressed that the battle for the remaining places also included other potential medal winners as well.
