Olympic medallists Alex Yee and Beth Potter will be competing at the World Triathlon Championship Series in London this weekend, and you can follow the action live on the BBC.

Paris 2024 gold medallist Yee returns after competing in marathons and more recently, the 5,000m in the Monaco Diamond League.

Fellow Briton Potter tops the women’s standings and world rankings after three podium places in the opening rounds of the series.

The WTCS represents the flagship elite series of World Triathlon, with the world’s best triathletes competing at iconic venues including the ExCeL London.

A further three races are planned for the season, which culminates with the finals in Pontevedra, Spain, in September.

Potter will be among the favourites to win on British soil, despite missing June’s Quiberon race in France because of altitude training and finishing sixth in the previous meeting in Hamburg.

The Glaswegian, who claimed bronze in the Paris 2024 Olympics, won the season opener in Uzbekistan and came second in both the Japan and Sardinia races.

Since delivering one of the standout moments of the Paris Games, Yee has experimented with marathon running – making his debut in the London 2025 race and then achieving the second-fastest time by a Briton in Valencia 2025, running 2:06:38.

The 28-year-old began his transition back to triathlon in Yokohama where he finished fifth. But the Olympic champion failed to finish the men’s race in Sardinia.
