Summary

This episode is sponsored by Official Beer Co. Produced by Podfire Lockie and Lleyton return for S2 EP14 (EP49) ahead of a huge race week trip to Japan, before diving into one of the biggest WTCS previews of the season at Alghero. The boys unpack the fallout from the Enhanced Games, including James Magnussen’s return, the underwhelming world record attempts, and the reactions from Olympic swimmers like Cam McEvoy. They also discuss the current state of SuperTri and whether the once-exciting format is slowly fading away. The episode then shifts into triathlon racing, including Dylan McCullough’s dominant comeback performance after 18 months out injured, and a full breakdown of the stacked WTCS Alghero start lists. Lockie and Lleyton debate whether the men’s race will stay together or explode into a breakaway, with Alex Yee, Matt Hauser, Hayden Wilde, Miguel Hidalgo and others all in contention. On the women’s side, the focus turns to Cassandra Beaugrand’s return, Beth Potter’s form, and how the Olympic cycle is already bringing the sport’s biggest stars back together.
