Britain's Beth Potter and Belgium's Marten van Riel claimed the women's and men's titles today at the Super League Triathlon Arena Games today in London at the Aquatics Centre on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Powered by virtual platform Zwift, the competition was held in three stages with different orders: swim-run-bike, run-bike-swim and bike-swim run.

Interviews with the triathletes were held in between the stages too.

Each stage had a 200 metres swim leg, a four kilometres cycle and 1km run.

A traditional triathlon consists of a 1.5km swim, a 40km cycle and a 10km run.

The Super League Triathlon Arena Games were held in a mix of virtual and real-life racing, using treadmills and exercise bikes, as well as the Olympic swimming pool at the Aquatics Centre.

Potter led an all-British podium, finishing ahead of Lucy Charles-Barclay and Sophie Coldwell in the points-based triathlon competition.

The Scot won the competition by a single point from Charles-Barclay, 28 to 27.

All three on the podium were sitting on 18 heading into the final stage, with Potter excelling in the first stage and Charles-Barclay winning the second.

Coldwell had finished second in both of these, giving her nine points respectively in each, while her compatriots both finished first and third in their races.

Despite having to make up a three-second deficit on the run at the end of stage three, Potter overturned Charles-Barclay for the win, claiming the maximum 10 points by seven seconds on the one-kilometre run.

Coldwell finished fourth in stage three, enough to secure the bronze medal on 25 points.

Dutch triathlete Rachel Klamer was fourth on 20 ahead of Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown on 15.

"It was savage racing so tough!" said Potter.

"I came here after a big block of training and it was great just to have a race and something to work towards.

"I felt good on the transitions and I've been working really hard on my swim this winter, so it's nice to see it all come together."

Van Riel claimed the gold medal in the men's race after winning the first two stages, ending with 27 points.

The Belgian had more than enough to hold off Germany's Justus Nieschlag on 24 points and Alex Yee of Britain on 23.

Yee managed to hold off British team-mate Jonathan Brownlee on countback after he finished second on the final stage with a strong run.
