The boys unpack the fallout from the Enhanced Games, including James Magnussen’s return, the underwhelming world record attempts, and the reactions from Olympic swimmers like Cam McEvoy. They also discuss the current state of SuperTri and whether the once-exciting format is slowly fading away. The episode then shifts into triathlon racing, including Dylan McCullough’s dominant comeback performance after 18 months out injured, and a full breakdown of the stacked WTCS Alghero start lists. Lockie and Lleyton debate whether the men’s race will stay together or explode into a breakaway, with Alex Yee, Matt Hauser, Hayden Wilde, Miguel Hidalgo and others all in contention. On the women’s side, the focus turns to Cassandra Beaugrand’s return, Beth Potter’s form, and how the Olympic cycle is already bringing the sport’s biggest stars back together.

This episode is sponsored by Official Beer Co. Produced by Podfire.

The boys also unpack a disappointing T100 Singapore race, questioning athlete buy-in, race dynamics, and whether the format is delivering on its promise. From there, they dive deep into World Triathlon racing, reviewing both the men’s and women’s events — including standout performances from Beth Potter, Vasco Vilaça, and Henry Graf, plus where they got their predictions wrong.
