Last week we crowned our new Olympic Champions, Kristian Blummenfelt and Flora Duffy.

This week we recap all of the action from Tokyo 2020 2021. We break down the men's and women's races, what we were surprised by, what we weren't surprised by and how the biggest triathlons of the last 5 years went down.

We also look at Lisa Norden's Iron Man debut, discuss triathlon's latest doping scandal and the fact that triathlon has cracked mainstream media for all the wrong reasons.

This weekend we see two of the biggest names face of in Germany at the Tri Battle Royale.

Lionel Sanders will race Jan Frodeno and word on the street is that a world record might fall.

We got Macca on this week to talk all about how the race will unfold. Chris talks about why this sort of racing is so good for the future of triathlon, why he thinks the world record will be broken and exactly what Lionel Sanders needs to do to walk away with the win.

No you did not misread the title of this week's episode.

Lucy Charles-Barclay has announced that she is not just trying to go sub 8 next year, she wants to beat Jan Frodeno's current Iron Distance record of 7:35!

We discuss the implications of this achievement and look at Lionel Sanders pathway to Kona for 2021 and if the Canadian will decide not to line up in Kona this year and instead focus on the Collins Cup.
