SuperTri Boston 2024

As the sun rises over Boston, the city buzzes with anticipation for the inaugural event of the 2024 SuperTri season. This isn't just any race weekend; it's a grand stage where Olympic titans from Paris 2024 reconvene, not just to compete, but to redefine the boundaries of short-course triathlon racing.

This Sunday, the historic McCormack Bath House at DCR Carson Beach will transform into a battleground where endurance and strategy collide in the SuperTri Boston. The race format? Enduro—three consecutive triathlons with no breaks, a true test of resilience and tactical prowess. Each segment, comprising a 300m swim, a 4km bike, and a 1.6km run, promises heart-pounding action, where even a second's delay can mean the difference between victory and the sidelines, as athletes lagging more than 90 seconds behind the leader face elimination.

Men's Race

In the men's field, all eyes are on the riveting rivalry between Alex Yee and Hayden Wilde, who last faced off in a nail-biting chase for gold in Paris. Their sportsmanship and sheer talent have captivated fans worldwide, and Boston offers a fresh chapter in their storied competition. Joining the fray for Crown Racing is Vincent Luis, the Super League legend, alongside rising star Vetle Bergsvik Thorn, adding layers of intrigue and competition to the mix.

Women's Race

The women's race is equally charged with anticipation. Cassandre Beaugrand and Beth Potter are set to renew their fierce rivalry. Beaugrand has dominated recent encounters, but Potter, hailed as the 'queen of transitions,' could turn the tables in this high-stakes format. The addition of young talents like Fanni Szalai and seasoned athletes such as Alice Betto, stepping in for the injured Jess Learmonth, ensures a dynamic and unpredictable race.

Team Dynamics

Teams are more than just collections of athletes; they are strategic units, each with a young under-23 talent, embodying SuperTri's commitment to nurturing the future stars of triathlon. With nearly $1 million on the line in team prizes, the stakes are monumental, not just for individual glory but for team triumph.

The quirks of SuperTri, like the 'Short Chute'—a tactical shortcut available to the first athlete across the Mount Line after each discipline in Stage 1—add a layer of tactical depth. These can be game-changers, making every second and every decision critical.
