As one of the longest-running World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) events, a successful day in Yokohama has long been a harbinger for a successful year of racing ahead. Last year Matt Hauser resumed the trend of Yokohama men’s champions taking the world title, which had been the case every year from 2014 to 2021. Gwen Jorgensen won the race four years in a row from 2011 to 2014 as she geared up for her big Olympic win in 2016, too.
