January 28, 2025

January 28, 2025 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Olympic gold medallist Cassandre Beaugrand is set to target her first major title of 2025 at the Supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by MyWhoosh.

The sport’s biggest star will return to the London Aquatics Centre on Saturday, April 5, hoping to go one better than last year when she finished as runner-up. This year’s event will see kids go free as part of Supertri’s commitment to inspiring the ‘Future of Triathlon’.

This will be Beaugrand’s fourth Supertri E appearance in London. She won the event in 2022 before finishing second to Beth Potter in both 2023 and 2024.

With the event now a one-day World Championship final, and a changed format that sees athletes swim, bike and run three times back-to-back continuously, Beaugrand is optimistic of her chances and has made clear winning the title is her first priority for the year.

She said: “I am very happy to be racing the Supertri E World Triathlon Championship powered by MyWhoosh at such an amazing venue. This will be my fourth time racing at the London Aquatic Centre and it is an incredible experience. The venue is beautiful and with thousands of very loud fans there it makes racing so much fun, even though it is hard.

“After Paris last year, I am focussed on winning world titles in 2025 and this is my first big target. I won the race in London in 2022 but was runner-up for the World Championship title last year, so I feel this is my year. I know and understand the technology and have experience with this exciting way of racing and I think and hope the slight change in race format will suit me this year more than some of the other athletes, so I am really looking forward to racing.”

Further athlete announcements will be made very soon.

In what will be its sixth year, Supertri E continues to redefine the boundaries of endurance sport, fusing the worlds of real life and virtual racing. Powered by MyWhoosh, for the first time, the event showcases cutting-edge technology and fierce competition, captivating both triathlon enthusiasts and Esports fans alike.

The 2025 Supertri E World Triathlon Championship is the future of triathlon and hopes to inspire the next generation of triathlon fans and athletes with tickets on sale now. In support of this mission, under 14s can attend for free (when accompanied by a paying adult), making this groundbreaking event accessible for families and young sports enthusiasts alike.

For the first time, the 2025 event will mirror the unique and high-pressure Supertri format of three continuous rounds of swim, bike and run, putting even more pressure on athletes with any minor mistake magnified and punished.

• Morning heats: Athletes compete across two continuous stages of swim – bike – run
• World Championship Finals from 6pm: The top 10 men and top 10 women from the heats will race through three continuous stages of swim – bike – run

Every moment counts in this format, as athletes battle for not only the Supertri E World Triathlon Championship titles but also crucial World Triathlon ranking points. The intensity of the competition will be magnified under the spotlight of the London Aquatics Centre, with fans creating an electric atmosphere for the crowning of the 2025 world champions in what promises to be another exhilarating test of endurance, strategy, and precision.
