Potter wins first World Triathlon race since 2023

Great Britain's Olympic bronze medalist Beth Potter has claimed her first victory in the World Triathlon Series since 2023.

The 33-year-old Scot put in a commanding performance in all three disciplines - swim, bike and run - to win by 13 seconds in the Czech spa town of Karlovy Vary.

She reeled in second-placed American Taylor Spivey in the final lap of the run before opening enough breathing space to afford time to high-five spectators as she crossed the finish line.

Germany's Lisa Tertsch was 55 seconds behind Potter in third place, while Britain's Olivia Mathias was ninth and Sian Rainsley 10th.

Potter clinched the overall title with her last win in the finale of the 2023 World Triathlon Series in Spain.

She was second overall in 2024, behind France's Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand.
