PTO announces women’s Singapore T100 start list, including 7 of the world’s top 20 and a selection of Wildcards joining the T100 Triathlon World Tour.<\/p>\n
London, UK: <\/em>The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) and World Triathlon have confirmed a powerful line up for the women\u2019s Singapore T100<\/em><\/strong> triathlon on 13 April, 2024, the second stop on the new eight-leg T100 Triathlon World Tour<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Included is Miami T100<\/em><\/strong> champion India Lee, who will be looking to pick up where she left off in Florida at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, where she ran down fellow Brit and reigning Ironman World Champion Lucy Charles-Barclay to clinch her maiden T100 <\/em><\/strong>win. By her own admission, India had expected \u201cnothing\u201d going into the season opener in Miami other than to \u201csee how her winter had gone, with no pressure\u201d.<\/p>\n It turns out her winter had gone \u2018pretty well\u2019 and has catapulted the British star into the PTO World Top Ten<\/a> for the first time. Speaking about what the win meant to her, the new PTO World #8 said: \u201cIt means a lot. I worked really hard. Mostly on my own, with a small team. I\u2019m just a bog-standard person who puts in the work and I\u2019m a bit overwhelmed it\u2019s turned into this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve never won a race like this against these girls,\u201d she continued. \u201cThey are world champions. I never thought that I\u2019m capable of putting together a race like that, when it matters, against quality competition. To beat them I had to have a really good day and I guess last Saturday was a really good day.\u201d<\/p>\n Asked what it could mean for the rest of the T100 <\/em><\/strong>Tour and whether it will give her confidence, India replied: \u201cYes, definitely\u201d. She will get an immediate chance to put that newfound confidence to the test against a strong field in Singapore that features 7 of the world\u2019s top 20 athletes including #2 Australian Ashleigh Gentle, who\u2019s making her T100<\/em><\/strong> debut after winning the inaugural PTO Asian Open in Singapore in 2023, and #3 Lucy Charles-Barclay, who is putting all of her focus into the T100<\/em><\/strong> Tour in 2024 as well as Chelsea Sodarao of the USA, the 2022 Ironman World Champion.<\/p>\n The full line up for the Singapore T100<\/em><\/strong> can be found here<\/a>. It features 8 of the 20 contracted T100<\/em><\/strong> athletes and 12 wildcards \u2013 including America’s Haley Chura and Estonia’s Kaidi Kivioja who finished a very creditable 7th and 10th respectively in Miami. The wildcard contingent also features the powerful Aussie trio of Ellie Salthouse, Radka Kahlefeldt and Rebecca Clarke \u2013 adding to the fresh faces looking for a chance to prove themselves at the sport\u2019s highest level in Singapore\u2019s infamous heat and humidity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Full Start List:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMy first visit to Singapore last August left a strong impression,\u201d said Charles-Barclay, who\u2019s still on the hunt for her first T100<\/em><\/strong> win. \u201cThe course was super challenging. The conditions were hot and humid and I thought the 13 per cent bike climb onto the highway created significant gaps in the field and made for a fairer competition, highlighting athletes’ strengths and weaknesses. I’m eager to return.\u201d<\/p>\n The course will be very similar to the one the professionals raced last August, including a unique opportunity to swim in the iconic Marina Bay and then bike and run around the Marina Bay Financial District in the heart of the Lion City.<\/p>\n For more information on the course and the amateur events that will take place over the weekend, visit https:\/\/t100triathlon.com\/singapore\/participate. As well as an equivalent 100km triathlon for experienced amateurs, there are also two duathlons: at a Standard (4.5km Run\/32km Bike\/4.5km Run) and Long (9km Run\/64km Bike\/9km Run) Distance as well as a 5km music run. Demand for places in all of the events has been very high, so there are only limited places left.<\/p>\n A reminder of how the T100 Triathlon World Tour works\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n -ends-<\/em><\/p>\n Notes To Editors\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Full details on the T100 Triathlon World Tour<\/em><\/strong> can be found here www.T100Triathlon.com<\/a><\/p>\n For journalists wanting media accreditation at this season\u2019s T100 Triathlon World Tour<\/em><\/strong> races, please visit https:\/\/protriathletes.org\/media-accreditation\/<\/a><\/p>\n For more information on the qualification criteria for the T100 Triathlon World Tour<\/em><\/strong>, please visit https:\/\/www.triathlon.org\/uploads\/docs\/T100-Triathlon-World-Tour_Qualification-Criteria_2024_20240219.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n About T100 Triathlon World Tour Wildcards\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There are four main categories of athletes who will be considered for a wildcard selection:<\/p>\n For Further Information<\/strong><\/p>\n Anthony Scammell E: Anthony.Scammell@protriathletes.org<\/p>\n About the Professional Triathletes Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n The PTO is a sports body that is co-owned by its professional athletes, seeking to elevate and grow the sport of triathlon and take it to the next level.
