The women’s race features Jodie Stimpson and Helen Jenkins, who will be looking to impress British selectors and claim the final third team place for Rio, with Vicky Holland and Non Stanford who have already secured their Olympic spots.
Both demonstrated good form by winning gold and bronze respectively in the previous round of the Series in Abu Dhabi.
Qualification requires evidence of ability to win an individual medal in Rio, and a nomination committee will meet following the race to review performances.
Stimpson, who won in Abu Dhabi and also in the ITU World Cup the following weekend in Mooloolaba said: “This is a massive race, which is unusual this early in the season, but I have taken a lot of confidence from my first two races this year. I will put in my best performance possible on the day, that’s all you can ever ask for.”
Double ITU World Champion, Jenkins said: “I have had a great training block since Abu Dhabi and feel like I have moved my fitness on. I need to put in a performance that shows I am able to podium at Rio. It’s going to be up to the selectors to decide on the athlete they want to take.”
Both races promise to be exciting races with a strong British squad hoping for glory. The Brownlee brothers will want to set up a fast swim to ensure the pace is high right from the start. Spain’s Mario Mola is currently ranked number one in the world following his win in the opening round of the Series in Abu Dhabi.
Jonathan Brownlee, who will be hoping to emulate his victory here last year, said: “The Gold Coast race was one of my best ever performances last year so it’s brilliant to be back. The first race of the season always has a few unknowns, but I can’t wait to race.”
Olympic Champion, Alistair Brownlee, who underwent ankle surgery at the end of last season, said: “Jonny and I didn’t actually get to race together much last year so it’s great that we’re both here this time. I’m happy with how things have gone recently and excited just to get out there.”
The women’s race is up first at 12:30am UK time on Saturday morning followed by the men at 3:30am. Both will be live on the BBC Red Button and online. Highlights are on BBC Two at 1pm on Sunday (10 April).

Long-course professionals struggling to pay their rent were irked at being asked to fork out up to $600 for membership. It took a further blow when Jan Frodeno declared he was “no fan of unions” and then the PTU’s vice president, Dirk Bockel, sent an ill-advised tweet asking Lance Armstrong for support. Had the whole thing faded away quietly, few would’ve been surprised.
When I met Charles Adamo, the chief executive of the Pro Triathlon Organisation (PTO; note the switch from Union), it was the morning after golf’s Ryder Cup. The USA had triumphed 17-11, buoyed by the patriotic fervour of packed galleries in Minnesota. It was without the nails-to-the-quick final-day drama that has spoilt sports lovers for much of the past three decades, yet the unique allure of the biennial contest still captured imaginations on both sides of the pond. Adamo produced a newspaper with the headline: ‘The theatre of sport at its finest in the bear pit’. “This is what we need to create,” he said.
Championing new ventures doesn’t come naturally to journalists, however it didn’t take tweets from multiple Kona winners Dave Scott (“a fantastic competition”) or Chrissie Wellington (“très excited, bring on 2018!”) to convince this hack of the merits of The Collins Cup. If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, then the Ryder Cup has a devotee in the PTO every bit as passionate as the Americans hollering at Hazeltine. But where triathlon will move beyond golf is by including the rest of the world. And, thankfully, women.
New international team tri competition launched

The Collins Cup, named after Ironman founders John and Judy, is a three-way non-drafting competition: Europe versus USA versus the ‘Internationals.’ It’s akin to the Ryder Cup singles format with six men and six women from each region. Eight will be chosen from the new PTO world rankings plus four captain’s picks – which allows wriggle room to involve stars from the ITU’s World Triathlon Series. Set off at regular intervals, triathletes race head-to-head-to-head over a 3km swim, 120km bike course and 25km run. Bonus points are awarded for each 5min increment – so it doesn’t pay to milk the finish chute.
Turning long-distance triathlon into a spectator sport isn’t easy. In contrast, the real sagacity of The Collins Cup is how the intrigue builds throughout the day. Anyone who has watched the Ryder Cup scoreboard swing from red (USA) to blue (Europe) and back, will understand how it can command your attention in its vice-like grip. Moreover, the focus is on the team, so if Frodeno or Daniela Ryf disappear up the road, the contest isn’t over.
That said, golf is a behemoth compared to triathlon, built on a history of 19th-century mashies and niblicks, not neon Speedos in the 70s. Can a new competition with a complex format really thrive? Adamo points out that the Ryder Cup only prospered from 1985 when the USA started to lose, and that interest soared in Olympic basketball when the USSR inflicted Team USA’s first ever loss in Munich in 1972. His point is less about revelling in US misery, but more that the success of a tournament is driven – not just by its history – but by unashamed rivalry.
The triathlon calendar is already packed and the date (June looks favourite) will depend on which broadcaster – if any – bite. To help this, Wasserman, the world’s fourth largest sports media agency (for comparison, IMG are ranked 12th) with contracts worth $2.3billion, will act as business partners. It lends some serious financial clout.

The PTO’s solution to ensuring a crowd is to make the pro race the showpiece of a long weekend where age-groupers race on Saturday and then join the celebrations on Sunday. For a venue, think a dedicated resort rather than busy city centre streets. It’s due to run annually from 2018, and for a sport that continually innovates, I believe this could be one of the best moves yet.

Grabbing the headlines in the men’s elite event was Patrick Lange, who broke the Ali’i Drive finish line tape in 7:52:39 to become the Ironman World Champion for the second time. Following the German home was Belgium’s Bart Aernouts in second and David McNamee of Scotland, who ran in his way to third in 8:01:09.
Brit Joe Skipper would come home in seventh, while Javier Gomez was 11th on debut in Hawaii. Tim Don, after his horrific bike crash just over a year ago, crossed the line in 36th in tear-jerking scenes.
BRIT EXPECTIONS
Not since the multiple Ironman world champ Chrissie Wellington went toe-to-toe with Julie Dibens, Rachel Joyce and Leanda Cave in 2011 have British elite athletes received some much focus in Kona (head here for the women’s report featuring Lucy Charles).
In the men’s race, Scotland’s David McNamee was hoping to go even better than in 2017, when his third-placed finish was the best British male placing in Kona history. East Anglia’s Joe Skipper – second behind Jan Frodeno at Challenge Roth in 2016 – was also vying for his first top 10 finish in Hawaii, and there was the emotional appearance of Tim Don in the starting field, following a severe crash ahead of the 2017 edition of Hawaii.
Elsewhere on the starting pontoon was the five-time ITU World Champion, Javier Gomez, making his Kona racing debut, the reigning champion Patrick Lange, former winner Sebastian Kienle, and a Jan Frodeno-shaped hole after the two-time Kona champ pulled out ahead of the race.
In relatively cool and calm conditions for Kona, the men’s event saw Aussie athlete Josh Amberger first out of the water, closely followed by France’s Denis Chevrot. Gomez came out in 5th after 47:46mins and David McNamee was in 13th, 1:52mins down after a time of 49:31mins. Don would exit Kailua Bay in 50:34, 20th pro man overall
Some big names were already 2-3mins in arrears, including the reigning champion Patrick Lange and 2014 winner Sebastian Kienle. The 2017 second-place finisher and uber-biker Lionel Sanders was a further 3mins back.

Onto the bike, and the major early news was that Kienle had suffered a puncture and was riding with a replacement wheel. But the German star had moved up to 14th by halfway through the 180km bike leg, with the field being led by biking powerhouses Andrew Starykowicz (USA) and Australia’s Cameron Wurf. Gomez was in ninth, Lange tenth, while the Brits of McNamee, Skipper, Don and Will Clarke were riding in proximity to each other in around 20th place.
Approaching transition two and Wurf’s bike course record of 4:12:54 from 2017 was in jeopardy, and the Australian would once again enter the Hawaii record books after a 4:09:36 split.

Lange would enter T2 around 6mins back, with Gomez 8mins behind, and both in serious contention to see their run prowess move them to the front of the race. Kienle, meanwhile, would quit in T2.
THE 8HR BARRIER
With the 40 years of Ironman in Hawaii being celebrated in the build-up to the race, it was apt that major landmarks in the sport’s history would be broken in 2018. And that was the men’s course record and the magical eight hour barrier in Hawaii, a time that had eluded such greats as Mark Allen, Dave Scott, Craig Alexander and Jan Frodeno in Kona history.

Lange, who we interviewed earlier in the year about the sub-8hr record, moved to second almost instantly and was in control of the chase group on Cameron Wurf. He made the pass after 15km and gave Wurf a classy fist bump on the way, before taking off at 6min/mile pace to deliver a 2:41:32 marathon run that kicked the course record into touch. His 7:52:39 finish time was nearly 10mins faster than his 2017 course record of 8:01:40, and was scarily only his sixth-ever full Ironman race.

Aernouts was next home in 7:56:41 to become the second man to dip under 8hrs in Hawaii, while McNamee was third in 8:01:09, which itself was the third-fastest Hawaii time in history. Skipper was seventh in 8:05:54.

Report —
NWA Power Surge opened with Thunder Rosa at the desk with May Valentine and Joe Galli. Rosa talked about how she was very proud to be doing good things for women’s wrestling both in the NWA, and on the independent scene. Rosa called Kamille a coward, and said she wasn’t sure that she was going to face her.
Jennacide defeated Skye Blue
This was a solid little squash match that made Jennacide look great. Skye Blue bumped well, and sold that Jennacide was a total monster.
Joe Galli claimed that Jennacide learned Muay Thai by having it downloaded directly into her brain, like something out of the Matrix. I found that amusing.
Jennacide dominated a good portion of this match, using strikes and a surfboard stretch before hitting a Yakuza kick in the corner. Jennacide countered a head scissors into a tombstone for the win.
**********
Trevor Murdoch speaks —
A recap of the events surrounding Trevor Murdoch aired, ending with how he was suspended for 30 days.
Murdoch sat down with May Valentine to talk about what happened, and he said he was beat up physically. He said he didn’t expect much when he first came to the NWA, he only wanted to make a splash and stand out. He said he has moved up the ranks and dealt with Nick Aldis putting obstacles in his way, but he wasn’t used to the easy path and accepted that life is hard.
Murdoch said that at the end of the day he had to look at the mirror and he has two young sons at home that he needs to teach how to be a man and carry themselves.
He said nobody wants to put in the hard work and sacrifice everything, and that he had to choose between rent and paying for gas to get to the next wrestling show. He sacrifices time with his family, time with his friends, and working towards the goal of becoming world champion.
He said that a lot of men don’t make it to the top, and there are far more that try to get there. He said that Harley Race set the pace and standard for him, and he is going to follow his path. Murdoch got emotional about missing Race, as he wanted him to be here to show him how far he has gotten.
He is promising to do this for Harley Race, the fans, and his kids that he can be a champion in the NWA.
I assume this was taped before he was suspended for 30 days without pay, but this was an awesome interview building up Murdoch’s motivation for going after the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship.
**********
A recap of what is happening between Kratos and Aron Stevens aired.
**********
Number one contenders announced for the NWA World Tag Team titles —
Nick Aldis talked about what was going on with Stevens, and Joe Galli asked if the decision for Thom Latimer to pick Kratos as his tag partner on Power was something Aldis decided. Instead, Aldis confirmed that Latimer made the decision himself.
Aldis then announced that Latimer and Adonis are the number one contenders for the NWA World Tag Team Championship. Aldis said that no one comes into the door of the NWA without him knowing everything about them, and he keeps a close eye on everyone, including Kratos. Aldis said he felt very confident about Latimer and Adonis taking the titles.
**********
NWA Worlds Heavyweight title number one contender battle royal announcement —
Aldis said that he wanted the most qualified person to challenge for the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, and he was looking for someone to step up. Joe Galli then announced that there will be a 14-man battle royal for the number one contendership to the NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship, and that no one who is a current champion in the NWA will be in the match. The match will be held in three weeks.
Aldis was very upset to hear this, and was shocked that Galli had the scoop on him, which he claimed wasn’t supposed to happen as the show went off the air. This was excellent.
**********
Final thoughts —
It seems that Power Surge is going to be mostly a recap show and a chance for one talent to get a good squash in with a few new promos. The promos are absolutely worth watching when they air, as they are always quality.
I loved what we saw from Murdoch and Aldis on this show. If you watch anything on this episode, watch that.

Depuis le début de Danse avec les stars 2019, Azize Diabaté est l’un des favoris du public, notamment grâce à sa bonne humeur et à son énergie. L’acteur de 19 ans que l’on peut suivre dans Les Bracelets rouges (TF1) a préféré cacher ses failles lors du premier prime diffusé le 21 septembre 2019. Mais il a fait tomber les masques le 28 septembre dernier en rendant un bel hommage à sa maman Kadiatou, la femme de sa vie dont il est très proche. Interrogé à son sujet par TV Mag, le partenaire de Denitsa Ikonomova a révélé qu’elle était malade.

Après avoir rappelé qu’il était d’origine malienne, Azize Diabaté a plaisanté : “Je dois être le seul Malien fils unique sur cette planète ! Je vis avec ma mère et mon beau-père (Rires).” Il a ensuite évoqué un sujet plus grave, la maladie de sa maman : “Depuis 2003, ma maman est malade. Vers 2005, les médecins lui ont diagnostiqué une sclérose en plaques et elle a dû arrêter de travailler. Je suis tout le temps avec elle, nous passons beaucoup de temps à rire ensemble. Si j’ai cette personnalité, c’est grâce à elle.”
Son papa, Azize Diabaté le “connaît à peine“. Le jeune homme ne s’est pas grandement épanché sur le sujet, mais il a précisé qu’il l’avait déjà vu et lui avait déjà parlé. “Mais cela fait très longtemps…“, a-t-il conclu sur le sujet. Nul doute que sa maman est très fière de lui. Depuis le début de la compétition, il est en tête du classement et fait l’unanimité. C’est grâce à sa spontanéité et à son sens de l’humour qu’il a été repéré pour passer un casting de comédien. Depuis, il vit de cette passion et n’en est pas peu fier : “Je n’ai rien provoqué, tout est venu à moi ! (…) Je n’attends rien de particulier de mon expérience dans Danse avec les stars. Les gens vont me découvrir. J’ai juste envie de montrer que l’on peut être un gosse de banlieue et réussir sa vie sainement et simplement. J’ai envie de profiter de toutes les opportunités qui se présenteront. Comédien, danseur, chanteur… Je veux être un artiste complet !“

On l’oublie sans doute souvent, mais le talent d’Ophélie Winter ne sort pas de nulle part. Bien au contraire : la chanteuse, icône pop, déesse de la dance music, est fille d’artiste. Son père, de son vrai nom Leon Kleerekoper, est une chanteur qui a plus que cartonné durant l’année 1969 avec son Oh Lady Mary. Le titre s’était hissé en tête des hit-parades, il était resté positionné numéro 1 pendant neuf semaines consécutives. Il s’était écoulé à plus de 700 000 exemplaires. Un joli record pour celui qui est à l’origine d’un pseudonyme devenu depuis familial : David Alexandre Winter. Pas étonnant que sa chère fille se soit lancée dans la musique dès son plus jeune âge.
Ce n’est donc ni de son père ni de sa mère – Catherine Fefeu, Le feu qui l’attise – qu’Ophélie tire son nom aux sonorités frileuses. David Alexandre Winter, 76 ans aujourd’hui, a accompli des exploits qui resteront dans les annales… dont celui d’avoir terminé en dernière place du concours de l’Eurovision, avec un total de zéro point en 1970. Représentant alors le Luxembourg avec Je suis tombé du ciel, il avait quitté les nuages en même temps que le haut du classement. S’il est bien difficile de retrouver sa trace aujourd’hui, deux éléments s’offrent toutefois à nous.
Je ne suis pas en bons termes avec Ophélie
Papa d’Ophélie et de Mickaël, l’artiste né à Amsterdam a été heureux un temps. Puis il a décidé de faire ses valises, en 1976, quittant sa petite famille pour se rendre aux États-Unis… ce qui explique les relations tendues qu’il entretient avec sa fille – 2 ans au moment du départ. “On s’est parlé à plusieurs reprises, expliquait-il dans les colonnes de la revue Platine. Elle est même venue chez nous avec son frère. Aujourd’hui, je parle souvent avec Mickaël, mais j’avoue que je ne suis pas en bons termes avec Ophélie. On dit que le sang est plus fort que tout, mais je ne suis pas d’accord avec ce principe. Ce qu’ils sont devenus n’est pas de ma faute, car je n’étais pas là quand ils ont grandi.“
David Alexandre Winter a bien essayé de revenir sur les devants de la scène. À l’occasion des 40 ans de son tube Oh Lady Mary, l’artiste avait tenté son grand retour en dévoilant une chanson inédite en 2009 intitulée Couleurs de Winter. L’année suivante, il est ressorti d’outre-tombe pour s’associer à la cinquième saison de la tournée Âge tendre et Têtes de bois, au sein de laquelle il a retrouvé des confrères grand luxe, de Sheila à Michèle Torr. Étrangement, le public n’a plus de ses nouvelles depuis… ni sa famille d’ailleurs.

THURSDAY NEWS UPDATE
WWE
Daniel Bryan appeared on today’s episode of Barstool Sports’ My Mom’s Basement podcast. Bryan was asked about his previous comments where he said he was trying to “weasel [his] way into” wrestling in other companies in addition to WWE:
I brought it up to a lot of people. And I don’t think the Mexico thing [a hair vs. mask match] would happen. But I also think that now is — more than ever — is a time when people are open to new ideas. I think I have made some headway. Whether any of it actually happens, who knows? It’s just one of those things that – one of the things that I think would be great.
I don’t think people truly understand how great a lot of the WWE Superstars are because we don’t necessarily put on a pure wrestling product, we put on a sports entertainment product. If all of a sudden you saw Cesaro in New Japan, for example, people would be like, ‘Oh my God, this guy is the greatest!’ Multiple people – I think if you put Otis in New Japan, and people would be like, ‘Holy cow, this guy is amazing!’ like, Vader from the 90s type vibe. People think of him as the worm guy, but him being able to do and learn and work with some of those guys… It’s just a different presentation.
So I think that would be cool, and a very unique contribution to wrestling, as far as giving back… I also think it’d be good for say WWE and just wrestling in general for people who are in say the developmental system right now, for them to be able to go and learn in other places. I wouldn’t be the performer that I am today if I hadn’t wrestled in Japan – and not just Japan where it’s like sports stuff, but like Butlin’s in the UK where it’s all comedy, and I’m out there wavin’ an American flag, singing the national anthem, getting my pants pulled down, seeing how many times I can get hit in the groin in a match – that sort of thing. I think all of those things add to your depth as a performer, and then when it’s time to put you in a top position, then you can do a number of things.
PWInsider reported that Brian “Road Dogg” James was back working in person at this week’s NXT for the first time since suffering an apparent heart attack last month.
WWE released a first look preview of their Rob Van Dam episode of WWE Icons. The episode premieres on Peacock in the United States and the WWE Network everywhere else on Sunday, May 16.
A&E uploaded sneak peek clips of their Randy Savage Biography documentary and this week’s episode of WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures. Both will premiere this coming Sunday. The Most Wanted Treasures episode is focused on Jerry Lawler.
On El Brunch de WWE last week, MVP gave an update on his knee injury: “I’m returning to Houston. As a matter of fact, here, I’ve got exclusive news just for you and the WWE Espanol viewers. As many of you know, my knee has been bothering me for some time now. I injured it a few months ago in the ring and while it’s better, it hasn’t healed yet and we’ve been trying to avoid surgery so we’re gonna try one more procedure and if it still doesn’t work, then I might have to get some minor arthroscopic surgery for the knee but, not yet. We’re still gonna try another treatment first.”
MVP will be the guest on tomorrow’s episode of After the Bell with Corey Graves and Vic Joseph.
Two factions were given names on this week’s NXT UK episode. Mark Andrews, Flash Morgan Webster & Dani Luna are now known as Subculture, while Eddie Dennis, Primate & T-Bone are Symbiosis.
BT Group issued a statement commenting on reports that they’re in talks to sell a stake in BT Sport: “Further to media reports, BT can confirm that early discussions are being held with a number of select strategic partners, to explore ways to generate investment, strengthen our sports business, and help take it to the next stage in its growth. The discussions are confidential and may or may not lead to an outcome.” BT Sport is WWE’s television partner in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The Telegraph reported that it’s understood that BT is in talks with Amazon, Disney, DAZN, and an unnamed British broadcaster about the sale.
Jeff Jarrett appeared on the latest edition of Insight with Chris Van Vliet.
WWE’s YouTube channel uploaded Edge vs. Kurt Angle in a hair vs. hair match from Judgment Day 2002, Braun Strowman & Ricochet vs. Drew McIntyre & Baron Corbin from the April 29, 2019 episode of Raw, and Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt in a House of Horrors match from Payback 2017.

Le 7 octobre 2019, nombre de personnalités se sont réunies au Publicis Cinéma, à Paris, pour le prix Cinéma de la Fondation Barrière. Une nouvelle édition qui a sacré cette année le film Les Éblouis, réalisé par Sarah Suco. Pour l’occasion, les acteurs de ce long métrage, qui sortira en salles le 20 novembre prochain, ont répondu présent.
Au côté de la jeune réalisatrice de 35 ans, Camille Cottin, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Éric Caravaca, Céleste Brunnquell et Benjamin Gauthier sont eux aussi monté sur scène pour la remise du prix. D’autres figures du cinéma français étaient de la partie puisque l’équipe du film a pu compter sur le soutien d’Yvan Attal, Marie-Anne Chazel, Dominique Besnehard, Anne Parillaud, Zoé Félix, Pierre Palmade, Corinne Masiero ou encore le journaliste Laurent Weil. Avec son ventre bien rond, l’écrivaine et scénariste Victoria Bedos, enceinte, a volontiers pris la pose devant les photographes, non loin de Patrick Poivre d’Arvor et Caterina Murino, Marianne James et la violoniste Anne Gravoin.
