The World Triathlon Cup circuit broke new ground in 2023, with a race held on all five World Triathlon continents in one season for the first time ever across the 14-date feast of action. There were huge home wins for Nicole Van Der Kaay, Anahi Alvarez, Miguel Hidalgo, Hayden Wilde and Csongor Lehmann among the standout moments, nail-biting sprint finishes including Gwen Jorgensen versus Rachel Klamer and Tilda Mansson versus Noelia Juan, and an emotionally charged Rome victory from Vasco Vilaca in the wake of his Pontevedra world title disappointment. German athletes scooped the most medals, with 15 in total shared among nine athletes and including golds from Nina Eim, Lisa Tertsch, Tim Hellwig (2) and Annika Koch. USA won nine medals (including golds from Jorgensen (4) and Morgan Pearson) and Italian and Mexican athletes appeared on no fewer than seven World Cup podiums, Alice Betto with a brilliant Brasilia gold for Italy, Anahi Alvarez Corral and Crisanto Grajales with Mexico's golds. Britain's Hugo Milner (Miyazaki), Brazil's Manoel Messias (Vina del Mar), Pierre Le Corre of France (Tangier), Takumi Hojo of Japan (Yeongdo) complete the names of World Cup winners in a breathless 2023 on the circuit. 51 contents
