  • Who is still in form at this extremely late stage in the season, and will the Southern Hemisphere athletes shine during the start of their summer?
  • How will short-course superstars, Hayden Wilde and Leo Bergere, stack up against the best middle-distance athletes on the planet?
  • Will it be Taylor Knibb who once again dominates at the distance and takes yet another 70.3 World Title?
