WTCS Yokohama 2023: Start lists and bib numbers as road to Paris 2024 continues

The road to Paris 2024 continues on Saturday as WTCS Yokohama takes centre stage with what should be two fascinating Elite races.

A week on from the PTO Tour European Open in Ibiza, the focus switches very much to top-level short-course racing as we move closer to just one year out from the big show in the French capital next summer.

2021 men’s winner in Yokohama, Kristian Blummenfelt, will line up on Saturday after the long trip from Ibiza, while compatriot and reigning IRONMAN World Champion Gustav Iden also continues his Paris countdown.

Britain’s Georgia Taylor-Brown – winner last year and silver medalist in Tokyo in 2021 – features on the women’s start list while American Taylor Knibb, who won here two years ago, is also in the mix.

Here are the start lists and bib numbers for your TV viewing pleasure, wherever you are in the world.
