Bahrain Victorious to compete as Crown Racing supertri Team

Jun 13, 2024

Bahrain Victorious 13 is proud to become the inaugural principal partner of supertri team Crown Racing, continuing its commitment to the growth of triathlon in the Middle East.

Crown Racing is the third team confirmed to compete in supertri’s 2024 League season, with Bahrain Victorious 13 reaffirming its involvement after having been a sponsor for the last three years. In previous years, the Bahrain Victorious 13-sponsored team has won the overall supertri team championship as well as fielded event winners and the individual women’s champion.

supertri CEO and co-founder Michael D’hulst says, “Bahrain Victorious has been part of supertri team development since we began the concept. The launch of Crown Racing, a team with a focus in the region and with Bahrain continuing its commitment as title sponsor, will help us to support and deliver the region’s ambitious aims for the sport.”

Bahrain Victorious 13 CEO and supertri co-founder and board member Chris McCormack adds, “Our dedication to supporting the supertri series and our athletes remains unwavering, as it has been since its inception. I’m super excited about the team this year. We’ll launch a full assault on getting that title back from round one.”

Each of the four supertri teams will feature four men and four women, including an under-23 athlete in line with supertri’s commitment to developing the future of triathlon. The teams will compete for a prize pot of $1.1m, which sits outside of individual prize money.

supertri’s League season will commence in August with the following race schedule:

  •     August 18: supertri Boston
  •     August 25: supertri Chicago
  •     September 8: supertri London
  •     October 6: supertri Toulouse
  •     November 3: supertri NEOM

Lauren Parker Leads Bahrain Victorious 13’s Medal Haul at World Championships

Lauren Parker Leads Bahrain Victorious 13’s Medal Haul at World Championships

Oct 20, 2025

The Bahrain Victorious 13 captured an impressive medal haul at the World Triathlon Championships in Wollongong, Australia this weekend.

Lauren Parker led the campaign, winning two medals including her fifth paratriathlon world title.

The paratriathlon races opened the elite competition on Saturday, where Parker once again proved untouchable. She led from the front, exiting the 750-metre swim first, hammering the 20-kilometre handbike leg with the day’s fastest split, and then powering through the 5-kilometre wheelchair run to cross the line 70 seconds clear of her nearest rival.

Unbeaten all year, Parker’s home victory carried extra meaning as she reclaimed the crown she relinquished last season.

“Everyone was so supportive out there and it definitely made me push a little bit harder,” Parker said post-race. “I wanted to get back on top again and I really worked hard for this one and I’m just happy to get it done.”

She also revealed her next sporting ambition: to qualify for the Winter Paralympic Games, with ongoing training in cross-country skiing and biathlon.

On Sunday, Parker added to her tally with a silver medal in the Para Mixed Relay World Championships, helping the Australian team to a podium finish.

In the men’s elite race, Vasco Vilaça placed fifth to secure the overall World Triathlon Championship Series bronze medal, returning to the world podium for the first time since earning silver at the one-day championship in Hamburg in 2020.

Emma Lombardi also delivered a standout performance, claiming bronze in the women’s race – her best finish of the season – and vaulting seven places to 11th overall in the Series standings. She swam into the pointy end on the 1.5-kilometre swim alongside compatriot Cassandre Beaugrand, then attacked on the 40-kilometre bike to lead onto the 10-kilometre run where she battled against the eventual winner and series champion Lisa Tertsch and a hard-charging Bianca Seregni to hold onto the final spot on the podium.

Beaugrand, who had stayed in the lead pack throughout the swim and bike, was forced to withdraw on the run to conclude her season ranked seventh overall.

The results in Wollongong wrap up the Bahrain Victorious 13’s short course season. The team now turns its attention to middle distance racing with the Ironman 70.3 World Championship in Marbella, Spain and Ironman 70.3 Bahrain on the horizon, as well as the T100 Tour’s final two stops in Dubai and Qatar.
