Wales' Non Stanford is out of the Leeds leg of the World Triathlon Series after falling ill on the eve of the Sunday race.

After sitting out the first three individual events of this year's World Triathlon Series, Olympic silver medallist Jonny Brownlee returns to the men's elite field for his hometown event in Leeds.

Brownlee was forced to settle for second place at last year's event as his brother Alistair took gold. With Alistair ruled out of this year's race with injury, Jonny will enter as an early favourite to take the Leeds title.

Yokohama triathlon winner and current WTS leader Mario Mola is expected to be among the Brit's closest challengers alongside Australia's Commonwealth Games silver medallist Jacob Birtwhistle.

In the women's race, the absence of Series leader Flora Duffy after back-to-back wins in Bermuda and Yokohama will see US duo Katie Zaferes and Kirsten Kasper among the front-runners. Britain's Vicky Holland will also be fighting for a podium place.

Like running, swimming or cycling? Fancy doing all three, one after the other? If you answered yes to the previous two questions then triathlon is the sport for you!

The Olympic distances are a 1.5km swim, followed by a 40km cycle, rounded off with a 10km run. But don't feel daunted, it really is for everybody, as 63-year-old Grandma Sue Faulkner proved in 2015!

The sport has a range of distances and formats to cut your teeth on, and as long as your daily exercise includes all three disciplines, you can call yourself a triathlete with pride.
