Athletes who have already won a medal at the 2014 and 2015 ITU Paratriathlon World Championships, and win a gold at WPE Buffalo City, WPE Yokohama or WPE Aguilas this year, will meet the automatic selection criteria.
As with the Olympic selection policy, which many considered to be particularly tough compared to other nations, the Paralympic policy “is about ensuring we send a very strong team that is capable of delivering medal winning performances,” said a spokesman for British Triathlon.
“Brendan Purcell is the National Performance Director for both the elite and paratriathlon squads, so his input means there are some similarities between the two policies. Like the Olympic nomination policy, athletes who have a proven track record of winning medals at the highest level are able to secure automatic selection earlier than the rest of the team.”
So far out of the ParalympicsGB hopefuls, just Lauren Steadman (gold medallist at the 2014 and 2015 World Champs in PT4) and Alison Patrick (gold medallist in 2014, silver medallist in 2015 in PT5) have met the first part of the automatic selection criteria.
Those who haven’t met the criteria for automatic selection, will be considered on their performances at the major championships during 2015/16 and the ITU World Paratriathlon Event Series up until June 2016.
The final team will be announced by ParalympicsGB in July after selectors have also taken into consideration an athlete’s form, race times and whether their performance profile suits the Rio 2016 Paralympic course.
Paralympic hopeful Phil Hogg says: “This would be the highlight of my sporting career to date. To compete for your country at the highest level is a honour and privilege that doesn’t come easy.
“The commitment and dedication over the last four years to throw everything I have towards my dream as at times been very difficult but equally rewarding too.
“It goes without saying that the support I’ve received not only from all the coaching staff and other practitioner at British Triathlon but from my family, friends and the close community at home where I live. Not to mention my team mates too. I see all these people as ‘Team Hogg’ “

It’s a place up from last year for Weiss, when he finished second, and his fourth win in five weeks, and his second win on the Xterra World Tour this year following his victory in Albay, Philippines.

“I don’t think the win has sunk in yet,” said Weiss. “It’s been approximately five years since I started taking part in Xterra Grabouw. I started out in the Xterra Lite, and if I think back to then, I would never have dreamt about winning at the Xterra SA Champs. It’s such a surreal feeling. I couldn’t be more proud.”
This is two-time Exterra World Champion Duffy‘s third straight SA title, her ninth consecutive Xterra major and her 13th win, out of 16, on the Xterra World Tour since 2013. She dominated from the onset and had the fastest swim, fastest bike by nearly seven-minutes and fastest run by four
“Getting my third victory in Grabouw is really cool,” says Duffy. “I won my very first Xterra here. As I spend five months out of the year in South Africa, Grabouw is an unofficial home race for me. The Grabouw course is phenomenal. It’s a true Xterra course. You have to know how to ride a mountain bike. ”

In an exclusive, no holds barred, interview with 220 Triathlon magazine Gordon Ramsay reveals how he really felt about his dramatic, very public, withdrawal from Kona and answers his critics about why he should compete in Hawaii.

“I took a lot of flak for not qualifying, but I never made out I was an elite athlete and I’m not depriving anyone of a place,” said the celebrity chef.
“Down the line I’d like to silence my critics and take six to nine months off and bust my arse to qualify.”
He credits tri as life saving in this personal interview, and reveals how abuse from spectators at the 2001 London Marathon, and the early death of his father, spurred him to get fit.
“I remember coming past mile 22 and people shouting ‘hey Ramsay, you fat bastard, you’re not so hard now,’ and asking me if I’d lost my sports bra. I was 17-stone and when I got back it was dark. Aged 34, I needed to get my ‘shit’ together. My father died of a heart attack at 53 and would still be living today had he taken care of himself.”
