matthews is BMC PRO Triathlon team member, several times winner in IRONMAN tests and fourth in the 70.3 2021 world championship.

Chris McCormack commented on the addition of Matthews: “Kat is a world-class athlete that I have watched with great interest over the years. 

Gathering her and her 'tribe' in such a short amount of time is no easy task, but she came ready and prepared. 

Kat was in initial discussions with Lucy as part of her team and has also participated in an intense training block for the past six months. 

With Kat's cerebral and disciplined approach to the sport, I'm excited to see how she will tackle the puzzle that is U8 and the new career strategy she will bring in her quest to be the first to Challenge the Impossible.".

They will also be in the men's test Kristian Blummenfelt y Alistair Brownlee who will try to lower the chrono in the Ironman distance from 7 hours
