Non Stanford, the current World Triathlon champion, which she won in her first senior season in 2013, is one of the clear favourites for the women’s race on 24 July.
The 25-year-old is focused on her Commonwealth bid and training in Leeds with the Brownlee brothers – Olympic champion Alistair and his younger brother Jonny, who won bronze at London 2012.
Stanford’s biggest challenge could come from another Welsh triathlete, former two-time World Champion Helen Jenkins.
Jenkins, who was born in Scotland but lives in Bridgend, is not certain of competing in Glasgow having not raced since the London Olympics because of a knee injury.
If two world triathlon champions was not enough for one team, Wales could also have the 2002 champion competing in Glasgow.
Leanda Cave, the 2012 World Ironman Champion was a triathlon silver medallist at the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester and has stated her desire to compete in Glasgow.
If all three make it to Glasgow, team orders might come into play with potential for one or two of these world champions are asked to support one of the others’ bid for gold.
These Commonwealth Games will also see, for the first time, a mixed relay event, with two men and two women completing a ‘super sprint’ triathlon of swimming, biking and running. The strength of Wales’ women should bode well for this.
