Aussie Women Ready to Take On the Best at Commonwealth Games

The women’s race will be just as hotly contested with current world number one Georgia Taylor-Brown of England, contending with Tokyo Olympic Champion, Bermuda’s Flora Duffy as she looks to be the first triathlete to successfully defend their Commonwealth Games title after her success in 2018.

Australia’s women show a mix of experience and rookie energy with McShane joining her second Commonwealth Games Australian team after her 11th placed finish at the 2018 Gold Coast Games, while Van Coevorden and Linn will be making their Games debut. All have the potential to deliver eye-catching performances over the sprint distance.

Van Coevorden will don the green and gold, wearing race number six, and is ready to prove her strengths in the green and gold.

After last year … it was pretty cool that finally my results could get me onto a major Games team. It’s a really exciting time. I’m looking forward to getting out there and proving I deserve to be on that team … I really want to put my best foot forward.
