1 – Athlete who has gone straight from winning an U23 World Championship to an elite World Championship. The only athlete to do so? That would be Alistair Brownlee, U23 in 2008 and 2009 he was crowned Elite World Champion. This year Non Stanford has the chance to become the second athlete, as the reigning U23 World Champion.

0 – Previous women’s winners in the elite London women’s fields. With Nicola Spirig only just starting her comeback after the birth of son Yannis, and Paula Findlay and Helen Jenkins on the sidelines, it means there will be a new name on the highly prestigious women’s winners list. On the men’s side, only Gomez and Alistair Brownlee have taken home the London title before.
