Sabato 15 maggio 2021 è andata in scena a Yokohama, in Giappone, la tappa di apertura della World Triathlon Championship Series Yokohama.
Tra le donne, la statunitense Taylor Knibb scappa in bici con l’olandese Maya Kingma e va a vincere conquistandosi il posto per Tokyo; l’altra statunitense Summer Rapparport risale fino al secondo posto con un grande 10K finale, deludente invece la prova di Katie Zaferes, solo 22^; unica azzurra, Verena Steinhauser, che conclude al 18° posto con una prova convincente.
In campo maschile, Vincent Luis esce per primo dall’acqua e dalla T1, in bici però si forma un gruppone e poi a piedi scappano via il norvegese Kristian Blummenfelt e il belga Jelle Gens; la spunta il vichingo, con la rimonta dello statuninese Morgan Pearson che si conquista terzo posto e partecipazione a Tokyo; solo sesto Luis, l’unico azzurro al via era Delian Stateff che conclude al 26° posto.
