Super Series The 2023 Winners

The British Triathlon Super Series returns on 24 March with the British Triathlon Paraduathlon Championships playing host to the first round for paratriathletes, before the Youth, Junior and Senior season gets underway on 20 April at Nottingham University Swimming Pool.  Here we take a look at the triathletes and paratriathletes who were crowned winners last year.  

Paratriathlon  

In the Open PTWC category, Luke Applegate was the overall winner. He won at both World Triathlon Para Series Swansea and the Grand Final with a third-place finish at Eton Dorney between the two results. His Grand Final victory, with the additional points it provides, saw him finish 0.3 points clear of second place Bret Crossley. In the Female PTWC category, Mel Nicholls won at Prestwold, Llanelli and Eton Dorney on her way to being named overall series winner.  

Nathaniel Costigan was the overall winner in the Open PTVI category as he finished second on five occasions.  

Victory in the Grand Final saw Jack Howitt named series winner in the Open PTS2 series as he narrowly beat Ethan Dent. The pair were separated by just a point following the final race of the season.  

Wins for Henry Urand at Prestwold, Eton Dorney and in the Grand Final saw him claim the PTS3 Open crown. His World Class Performance Programme teammate Finley Jakes was the overall winner in the Open PTS4 category thanks to his wins at Prestwold, Llanelli, Eton Dorney and the Grand Final. In the Female PTS4 Category, Hannah Moore was the overall winner as she won three times in 2023.  

Tom Barnard’s three straight wins at Llanelli, Swansea and Eton Dorney helped him on his way to winning the Open PTS5 Category, while Cheryl Went was the Female PTS5 winner with three victories at Prestwold, Llanelli and the Grand Final.  

The British Triathlon Paratri Super Series provides paratriathletes with a range of disabilities the opportunity to take part in regular, accessible events that provide a competitive and fun environment. For those wishing to take part who do not have a paratriathlon classification, the series has an unclassified category that allows anyone with a disability to take part still.
