17 Aug 2023 Elite Women If the Paris Olympic triathlon course was looking outstanding for the women's Test Event in August, then the performances more than lived up to the hype of day one on the Seine as the two in-form women in 2023, Beth Potter and Cassandre Beaugrand, gave us a finish to remember in the French capital. Italy's Bianca Seregni led through the swim, putting 10 seconds into Beaugrand and over 30 into Potter, but with the likes of Taylor Knibb driving things from even further back, a big group of 23 came together and started to position itself over the final lap. Taylor Spivey had flown out of the second transition then Beaugrand hit the front before Potter reeled her in on lap two of the run and after that pair finally shook off the attentions of Emma Lombardi and Laura Lindemann, there was nothing between them at the bell. A final kick from the Brit left Beaugrand chasing shadows with nothing left in the tank, and Potter soared to the tape, mission accomplished in Paris and a big step closer to her Olympic triathlon debut.
