Taylor said to the camera: “I just shat myself, could you please not focus on my ass?” And Jan said something like “these are the kind of things athletes put themselves in and the level of effort they are making to become champions”. Maybe he was talking from his own experience 😅
Ashley Gentle is a fucking hero! She took a chance and blew-up, but she was so close. Maybe if she had just paced it a little bit more in the beginning of the run things might have turned out different, but hats off to her for going all guns blazing on the swim, bike, AND run.
The battle next year between Knibb, Gentle and Derron is going to be INSANE! And i have a feeling Flora Duffy is going to be right up there too, especially after a winter of spending time in the TT bike. She is already right up there on the swim and run, the bike is just the missing link, which ironically she was the strongest at in short course racing. T100 watch out! The same goes for Taylor Spivey too. Amazing swim and run, just that bike leg to train for.
I wonder how was the backstage conversation of picking the highlights: - Should we include the moment when Taylor looks at the camera and says “I just shat myself, could you please not focus on my ass?” - Well… it’s definitely a highlight but she asked not to focus… - Mmmmm OK I guess we won’t include that moment. I’m glad I watched it live 😅
Spectacular race indeed, it looks so good, I wish it would go on for three months as best anti pollution solution, schools, universities, offices and seniors, get out in camping during the winter season and enjoy the natural warmth, no further home heating expenses...three months, yeah, sports business are this delightful. Fans love youuuuu guys, wish you all the best, wish you all schools and all kids enjoy to get involved and enjoy sports competitions, at least European schools...at least those countries that pollute the most during the winter season. If we could just wake up people yeah, if this great fun could inspire more people to get involved and make the difference ❤🎉❤
I think littering should be a 15sec penalty. By the time they stop and get going it’s a 50sec penalty, and there is no time benefit for littering so it won’t result in more offenses if they reduce it to 15seconds.
You clearly didn’t watch it live. It was anything but boring… for 15km of the run it looked like Ashley Gentle was going to catch her. Taylor had to go so hard she *cough* had digestive issues *cough*. And Ashley blew up from the effort of the chase.
I think some spectators/ age groupers still enjoy when there are pro triathletes (male or female) that just consistently crush the entire year. It’s still special and entertaining, so to speak… a feat in itself in all sports.
One highlight that they haven’t included is Jan’s professionalism in commentating when Taylor had 2.3km left of the run. 👏Bravo Jan! Legend and gent.
What did he say?

That was completely cut out of the live stream replay. Coverage jumps from 2.5k to 2.1k to go

Love these recaps!!
shout out to the PTO for raising the bar in triathlon broadcasting.

Carolin Pohle?
This was more exciting than anticipated!
thanks editor for doing it the right way 😘
Great racing today!!! Best Women's T100 of the year
Brutal
I can’t seem to find the full live streaming video to re-watch, is it only me?

Great race
Jack Kelly going straight off for the calls. Nice work
Taylor and Derron are special athletes

exciting race, but what a concrete desert they have created in, well, the desert
Making the athlete tell the official what the penalty is is ridiculous.
The grils overbiked trying to ride with Taylor and paid the price in the run
Congrats to the podium!

Wow transition for age groupers looks pretty empty.
I wouldn't step foot in Dubai for any amount of money.
The PTO have a problem when Taylor races……it’s boring. Her bike means that she doesn’t lose and soon no one will want to watch

@@jameshmdyou clearly didn’t read my comment
The courses are boring af.
Half of them need to be axed.
Well, let's see how she does on the long distance, which she has to do if she wants to be the best of them all
