Oliver Conway wasted no time stamping his authority on the 2026 season. In Haikou, at the second stop of the World Triathlon Cup, the reigning 2025 U23 world champion delivered a statement victory, executing a perfectly controlled race from start to finish. Close behind, Hugo Milner surged to a well-earned podium, while the other British athletes finished 5th, 10th and 12th respectively — all underpinned by decisive run performances that have increasingly become the hallmark of British triathlon.
