How have the Paris Games affected the WTCS Rankings?
Beyond medals and glory, individual competitions have had an impact on the Triathlon World Series (WTCS).
Following the precedent established in Tokyo, the Paris results counted towards the WTCS general classification.
With only the Weihai test left before the grand final in Torremolinos, the Olympic Games have been a great opportunity to change the course of the season.
The fight for the women's title intensifies
The victory of Cassandre Beaugrand in Paris catapulted her to the top of the women's classification.
The French triathlete has maintained impeccable performance throughout the season, with three victories in three races, including Cagliari and Hamburg.
With 2750 points under his belt, Beaugrand enjoys a comfortable lead of more than 300 points over his rivals.
Emma lombi, despite giving up the lead, remains a strong candidate for the final podium for the second consecutive year.
Her fourth place in Paris leaves her with 2438.53 points, improving on her fifth place in Hamburg.
Although a podium in Weihai would be beneficial for Lombardi, Beaugrand has a chance to score more points in the final race of the regular season.
This is because Beaugrand's victory in Hamburg, in sprint distance, awarded only 750 points, while Lombardi's fourth places in Cagliari and Paris earned him 791.45 points each.
Beth Potter He rose to third place in the ranking after winning his third bronze medal of the season. With 2352.98 points, he is very close to Lombardi.
However, the threat of Lisa Tertsch hovers over them. The German has 2154.71 points after her ninth place in Paris. Since her Olympic result is the lowest among the top contenders, Tertsch has the greatest room for improvement in Weihai.
Flora Duffy completes the top 5 with 1937.91 points. His fifth place finish in Paris is his best result of the season, but given that he hasn't won any medals this year and is more than 200 points behind Tertsch, his world title chances look slim.

The male classification, an enigma to solve
Matthew Hauser He leads the men's classification after his seventh place in Paris, which adds to his victory in Hamburg and his silver medal in Yokohama.
With 2301.40 points, Hauser is in a favorable position, but the men's classification remains uncertain even though there is only one race left before the final.
This uncertainty is largely due to the fact that Alex Yee y Hayden Wilde They have only participated in two races.
Yee won in Cagliari and Paris, accumulating 2000 points that place him in third place overall. Wilde, with two silver medals, has 1850 points and is in fifth place.
If any of them finish in the top five in Weihai (and assuming Hauser doesn't improve his current score), they will overtake the Australian and take the lead.
Another factor that adds intrigue to the classification is the presence of Pierre Le Corre in second place with 2110.36 points.
Although Hauser has a considerable advantage, Le Corre cannot be underestimated after his fourth place in Paris and his third place in Hamburg.
The Olympic bronze medalist, Leo Bergere, could also have options with his 1957.63 points, which places him in fourth place.
