Georgia Taylor-brown And Taylor Spivey In Winner Takes All Battle

Georgia Taylor-Brown and Taylor Spivey face an epic winner takes all battle as two months of Super League Triathlon racing comes down to the Grand Finale in NEOM to decide the Championship Series title.

Defending champion Taylor-Brown, the British Olympic and Commonwealth gold medallist, has secured victories in both Munich and Toulouse, but sits level on points with American star Spivey, who picked up a win in her Malibu backyard.

The pair cannot be separated at the top of the Leaderboard with 56 points each, and are so far ahead of the rest of the field that it seems almost certain that whoever finishes ahead in NEOM on Saturday will take the Championship Series title.

Taylor-Brown has been there before, but for Spivey this is treading new ground, and the 31-year-old admitted she has to be at her very best to get the better of the Brit.

I never expected to be tied with her at this point in the Series so it’s pretty cool. It’s all going to come down to NEOM and I am going to need to be on my game because in Toulouse I wasn’t. Honestly, it’s going to be pretty tough. To perform I need to be on my A game and in Toulouse I made a lot of silly mistakes mounting my bike. I need to work on those little things and hope I have a better day in NEOM.Taylor Spivey

Hayden Wilde has one last outing where he needs to finish inside the top 13 to pick up his maiden Championship Series title, having been runner-up in 2021. There is still an intriguing battle in the Teams competition where the SLT Sharks and Bahrain Victorious Scorpions will fight it out for the top prize.

Super League’s debut in Saudi Arabia is part of the NEOM Beach Games. Super League will also be helping to grow the sport in Saudi Arabia. Working with the newly formed Saudi Triathlon Federation, Super League will throw open its doors to the country’s most promising youngsters, giving them a unique opportunity to shadow and learn from the SLT pros. Several Super League pros will also travel to Jeddah to help train young girls and boys and encourage participation in the sport, while two Saudi elite athletes will have the chance to race in the professional field.
