Rainsley speaks on tough World Triathlon Championship

Sian Rainsley found the going tough at the AJ Bell 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series Leeds but is hoping her 15th-place finish is enough to bag an «insane» spot at the Commonwealth Games. Rainsley made her World Series debut in Leeds last year after a late call-up, finishing 13th, and arrived this time around in fourth place in the standings. Ad/> She improved slightly on her 16th-place finish in Yokohama in May and now faces a nervous wait to see if she will this week be part of Team England in Birmingham alongside the already-selected Georgia Taylor-Brown and Sophie Coldwell, who finished second and third on Saturday behind France's Cassandre Beaugrand.
