Super_League_Triathlon
Super League Triathlon is a league of nonstandard triathlon-based races held in the traditional off-season of the sport. Every race involves a swim, bike and run element but all contain additional rules in an aim to test athletic ability, increase viewer excitement and increase the popularity of triathlon more globally.

The league's season lasts from around September to April. Over the course of the season, Rounds are held at locations around the world; a Round will normally cover a weekend with multiple races occurring for both the men's and women's competition.[1]
Contracts
Being a closed league, only athletes who have a contract with the league for the current season may compete, most athletes that are considered to be the current best in the world are invited to sign contracts with additional contracts won in preseason qualifier events and others awarded to local athletes. The current split is the top ten from the previous season are awarded contracts with ten more split between the best placed at the two qualifying events and the final five being wild card invites currently favouring young or local athletes.[2] This gives a total of 25 athletes for both the men's and women's competitions.[3]
Jerseys
All athletes wear the same yellow jersey with the leagues sponsorship on it, however there is also space for personal or national sponsors. Each jersey is adorned with the athletes national flag for men on the left shoulder and for women on the side panelling under both arms. Special coloured jerseys are awarded to athletes to distinguish them, and each colour has a specific meaning:[4]
- blue-fastest swim split from the previous round
- green-fastest bike split from the previous round
- red-fastest run split from the previous round
- white-athletes under 21
- pink-overall points lead
A jersey of each colour is awarded to the relevant men and women before the start of the next round, except the white jersey which is awarded to all of the athletes under 21.
The women's jerseys are currently a more revealing design than that of the men. This continues to draw criticism from female triathlon participants across the sport with regards to objectification of female athletes and safety/health implications of a lack of breast tissue support and skin cancer risk, due to their open back design. Coloured jerseys, for discipline leaders, were discontinued in 2021, along with the introduction of teams, however discipline and team leader boards, along with the overall series title, are still contested.
Points
During every Round each race awards points towards an athlete's Round score then at the end of a Round athletes are ranked based on their total Round points and awarded League points based on placement, the athlete with the most League points at the end of the season is crowned the overall winner. Point distributions for Round and League points are the same using the following spread.[1]
| Place | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12-15 | 16-20 | >21 | DNS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Points | 25 | 21 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | -3 |
Any athlete that gets pulled from a race due to a time cut will have Round points removed, if they are pulled in the first stage of a race they lose two points if they are pulled during the second stage they lose one point and if they are pulled in the third stage they are awarded 0 points for that race.
Super league triathlon was created with the aim of testing athletes abilities in each discipline of a triathlon (swim, bike, run) but not in the usual way. To do this the league consists exclusively of races that do not follow this convention. Each race is designed to test different aspects of an athlete's ability and racing nous. All races are based on short loops; this leads to fast and aggressive styles of racing. This also means that the race can be based in a city, giving easy access for spectators and allowing spectators to repeatedly see athletes pass, while causing minimal inconvenience to the host.
At every location a short loop for each race element (swim, bike and run) is set around a central transition area, then each race will use those loops but in different variations depending on the race.
The current five race formats are:
- Triple Mix- Three short triathlons are raced but in each triathlon the order of the disciplines is changed: the first is a traditional swim-bike-run; the second is a run-bike-swim; and the third is a bike-swim-run, with a ten minute break between each stage to rest and reset their equipment ready for the next one. The first two stages are mass starts with the third being a pursuit with start times based on the sum of the previous two meaning the first over the line of third stage wins the Triple Mix.[5]
- Eliminator -Three short triathlons are raced but at the end of each triathlon the slowest are removed and do not start the next stage. After the first stage the 15 fastest race again then the top ten from the second stage advance to the third stage where the order over the line is the given order of the Eliminator.[6]
- Enduro - Three short triathlons are concatenated into one long swim-bike-run-swim-bike-run-swim-bike-run race with the added punishment that last two into transition after each discipline are eliminated.[6]
- Sprint Enduro - The field is split in two by random draw, each half races a short triathlon with the first five from each half advancing along with the two fastest finishers not to automatically qualify. Those who advance race a shorter enduro race consisting of two short triathlons i.e. a swim-bike-run-swim-bike-run race.[6]
- Equalizer - A two-stage race comprising an individual cycling time trial in for the first stage then the second stage a swim-run-swim-bike-run is raced with the stage started pursuit style with the time gaps from the previous time trial.[7]
Also if an athlete is at any point 90 seconds down from first place they are pulled from the event. This is to keep the focus of the race at the front and to avoid athletes getting lapped and interfering with the race due to the short loops used for the course.
In all instances the swim is open-water and the cycling will be draft-legal.

The 2017 season consisted of a test event that was held on Hamilton Island, Australia in order to gauge popularity as well as test many of the unique factors about super league i.e the unique race formats). After the success of the test event, another event now also hosting a woman's competition was held on Jersey; this event refined many of the original ideas and allowed for further testing.
Announcement
Although it had been a somewhat open secret in the triathlon media, on 10 February Super league triathlon was officially announced and its website launched.[31] During the announcement one of the founders Chris McCormack declared it to be the future of triathlon with 25 of the best professional men competing in action-packed, innovative race formats competing for 200,000 US dollars.[32] It was stated that although this was a test event there were already plans to include an equal woman's event as well as age group races and a total prize purse of 1.5 million US dollars. The series was to be broadcast on television locally by Australia's Fox Sports and in Europe by Eurosport the series also stated that the races would be available to stream live on their own website.[32]

Arena Games Triathlon Race Format
Arena Games Triathlon* is a form of Super League Triathlon that blends real life racing and virtual racing. The swim portions of the race take place in an Olympic standard pool, while the bike and run sections take place on the pool deck or pool's surrounding area, utilizing static bikes and self propelled treadmills. The bike and run sections of the race are then brought to life by use of in-your-face cameras, capturing the athlete's reactions and emotions as the race unfolds, and through utilizing the training platform Zwift. This includes athletes each having their own race avatar (so that spectators can see the athlete's positions, in relation to each other, on the route selected on Zwift) and real time displays of power output and heartrate data.
At the Arena Games Triathlon, each swim is 200 m, each bike is 4 km, and each run is 1 km. AGT events are competed over heats and a final. Heats see two stages of swim-bike-run, which determine which athletes proceed to the final. 10 athletes qualify for each event final. The final in competed of a over AGT race format. This means 3 back to back stages of swim, bike, run with minimal rest between each stage. A pursuit style start is adopted for the final stage, and the second stage takes the form reversed triathlon (run, bike, swim).[38]
*Arena Games Triathlon not included as part of the Championship Series. As of 2022 Arena Games Triathlon events will form the Arena Games Triathlon World Championship Series powered by Zwift. Points from the series will also contribute points to the World Triathlon rankings.
2020 season
The Super League Triathlon (SLT) Arena Games was developed as a way of blending virtual and real life racing to create the ultimate spectator experience.[39] The Arena Games debuted in 2020, and provided a way for live professional triathlon to continue, behind closed doors, throughout the global COVID-19 pandemic.[40] The inaugural Arena Games event was held in Rotterdam on 23 August 2020. The Men's event was won by Justus Nieschlag, while Jess Learmonth won the women's race.

It marked the first time that an Arena Games Triathlon event had been held in North America. For the 2023 Arena Games Triathlon series all cycling (on Zwift) was to be done with non-drafting conditions.
Notable names from the world of long distance triathlon, including Canadian athletes Lionel Sanders and Jackson Laundry, made their Arena Games racing debut at Montreal 2023, with Sanders setting a new all time Arena Games record for the bike section of the race (4 km in 5:06).[50] In the final, stand out swimmer, Chase McQueen of the USA was able to take the victory, closely followed by Olympic Bronze medallist and twice Commonwealth Champion Henri Schoeman - in what was his first major event podium after several years of injury setbacks. British newcomer Jack Stanton-Stock was the surprise package of the event, rounding off the podium in 3rd place. In the women's race, McQueen's partner Gina Sereno (also of the USA) took the win, ahead of Commonwealth Games Relay Medallist Sophie Linn of Australia, and Dominika Jamnicky of Canada.

Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift London 2023
Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and London Aquatics Centre, host venue for the swimming and diving at the 2012 Olympics, was the host venue for the final of the 2023 Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift series. The London event included a further 10 athletes on both the male and female side of the draw and included an additional repechage round. With additional 1/3 of points on offer compared to the first two events of the series, there was more to play for in this final event.
IRONMAN World Champion Gustav Iden featured on the start list for Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift London, but a 5 second penalty for arriving late to registration left him on the back foot before the racing had begun.[53] Ahead of London American athletes Chase McQueen and Gina Sereno, along with Henri Schoeman and Zsanett Bragmayer were in poll position to take the World Titles, with one 2023 event win to their name each.[54]

Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift London
