Next up, though, is Cagliari, which is set to take place this weekend, and there’s some strong talent on show as athletes battle for Olympic qualification.<\/p>

Keep on reading to find out what happened in the series in 2023, who’s racing in Cagliari and what the rest of the short-course season looks like…<\/p>

That could still happen, but who else has a chance to don the hallowed GB tri-suit? <\/p>With only one more slot available in the men’s squad (GB haven’t achieved enough points to send three), Barclay Izzard could be the one to capitalise. With four top-25 WTCS finishes in 2023 and plenty of success in the relay format \u2013 including a silver medal at the Paris Test Event \u2013 this could be Izzard’s chance to shine. <\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.220triathlon.com\/news\/athletes\/who-is-sam-dickinson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samuel Dicki<\/a><a href=\"\/news\/athletes\/who-is-sam-dickinson\">nson<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is another GB contender and is the second-ranked British man behind Yee in the world rankings. <\/p>Then there’s the wildcard \u2013\u00a0World Cup winner Hugo Milner and one of only a handful of men on the circuit capable of matching pace with Yee on the run. <\/p>And that’s just the race within a race for the British team!
