Georgia Taylor-Brown made a triumphant return to the 100-kilometre distance, claiming victory at the T100 Triathlon in Spain over the weekend.
The Olympic multi-medallist and world champion delivered the strongest T100 performance of her career on the rolling roads of Pamplona, racing with patience through the swim and bike before unleashing a decisive run to secure the win.
Taylor-Brown exited the 2-kilometre swim in fifth place in 26:23, then kept herself firmly in contention throughout the 80-kilometre bike leg. Riding a controlled 1:59:23 split, she entered T2 in third before taking command on the 18-kilometre run. By the 5-kilometre mark she had moved into the lead, eventually opening an 80-second gap to stop the clock in 3:38:03.
Fresh off a Sierra Nevada training camp with her new coach and squad, Taylor-Brown appears to have found both form and confidence at the right time. “I’ve been feeling good in training and just strong and happy and in a really good place,” she said post-race. “I didn’t expect to win or anything, but I just feel strong and confident.”
After finishing eighth overall in the inaugural T100 season last year, Taylor-Brown now rises to second in the 2026 series standings with two races remaining before the Grand Final in Qatar, firmly establishing herself as a genuine title contender.
Her focus now shifts quickly back to short-course racing and the World Triathlon Championship Series, where valuable points remain on offer in the race towards Olympic qualification. Taylor-Brown is set to line up this coming weekend at WTCS Alghero (May 30) alongside fellow Bahrain Victorious teammates Cassandre Beaugrand, Taylor Knibb and Vasco Vilaça.
Currently at the top of the 2026 WTCS standings, Vilaça will be aiming to build on his breakthrough victory at World Triathlon Championship Series Samarkand and carry that form into another strong result in Alghero.
