The World Triathlon Championship Series will be shown live on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website, the BBC Sport mobile app and the Red Button.

Last year, Britain’s Beth Potter became world champion for the first time by claiming victory in the Grand Final.

France’s Dorian Coninx won the men’s title, with Britain’s Alex Yee finishing fifth overall despite starting the final top of the rankings.

The opening meeting of the season in Abu Dhabi on 8 and 9 March was cancelled because of bad weather.

The season features four further events and concludes with the Grand Final in Malaga in October.

The Olympic Games in France will be the athletes’ main focus this year, with the individual events taking place on 30 and 31 July and the mixed relay on 5 August.
