World Triathlon Championship Finals

Britons Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee will bid for titles as the World Triathlon Championship Series comes to an end in Abu Dhabi.

Taylor-Brown, 28, tops the women's standings going into Friday's decider, while Yee, 24, is second behind Hayden Wilde before Saturday's men's finale.

Both races will be streamed on 大象传媒 iPlayer and the 大象传媒 Sport website.

"It's been a really long season but I can't wait to race here," said Taylor-Brown.

"I think it's going to be a really good race with huge calibre in the women's field. It's a technical course so it's going to be challenging but I think it'll be great for people to watch."

Taylor-Brown, who won the title in the Covid-affected 2020 season, is vying with Bermuda's three-time champion Flora Duffy, 35.

"Flora has had an amazing season," said Taylor-Brown. "I can't wait to get on the start line."

Yee, meanwhile, is competing with 25-year-old Wilde, who leads the standings. Yee must finish at least two places ahead of the New Zealander to become champion.

He said he would try not to get "caught up in the emotion" of what could be a thrilling conclusion.

"I think when you race free and enjoy yourself that's when you get the best out of yourself," Yee told 大象传媒 Sport.

"I'm just going to race the way I race, not change anything and not try to get caught up in the emotion of anything and just enjoy myself."
