Georgia Taylor-Brown won the penultimate women’s T100 race of the season in Dubai, moving to the top of the overall standings. The result puts the British triathlete in contention for her first T100 world title, with the final race still to come in Qatar.

The 32-year-old finished in 3 hours 35 minutes 19 seconds, beating New Zealand’s Nicole van der Kaay by 10 seconds after taking the lead early in the run. Switzerland’s Julie Derron came third, 2 minutes 7 seconds behind Taylor-Brown, and is six points behind her in the standings.
