Canada's Tyler Mislawchuk earns silver at World Triathlon Cup
The 30-year-old Mislawchuck finished in one hour 45 minutes 58 seconds in the Olympic distance test for his first World Cup podium in three years.
Great Britain's Oliver Conway won in 1:45:53 and John Reed of the United States finished third at 1:46:11.
It was the seventh World Cup podium of the Oak Bluff, Man., resident's storied career.
A three-time Olympian, Mislawchuck came out of the unique 1.5-kilometre swim in sixth spot – just eight seconds back of the frontrunner.
After a best-ever ninth place finish at the 2024 Olympics where he was battling for the podium until the final two kilometres.
Mislawchuck opened this season with a sixth-place finish at the World Triathlon Championship Series in Yokohama, Japan.
On Sunday, Mislawchuck appeared composed and comfortable while settling in for the eight-lap pedal with 24 riders through Morocco's northeastern coastal town known as the Blue Pearl.
Thriving in the heat, the lone Canadian in the field followed his game plan, steadily working his way through the pack in the first of five laps on the 10-kilometre run. One of seven athletes out front at the end of the second lap, Mislawchuk made his move and pulled away from the field with Reed and Conway, who was making his first World Cup start, going with him.
The trio matched strides over the next lap with the veteran Mislawchuk and rookie Conway controlling the pace.
As the intensity and pace picked up in the final loop, Reed dropped back, leaving a head-to-head battle between the Canadian and the Brit until the last 100-metres where the 20-year-old Conway snuck ahead in the last corner and into the finishing stretch.

Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk suspended 4 years after positive test
Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk, a world championships silver medalist in the long jump and triple jump, has been suspended four years after testing positive for metabolites of testosterone. Bekh-Romanchuk, a 30-year-old, three-time Olympian from Ukraine, returned the positive result from a Dec. 7 drug test. She denied taking testosterone, speaking in a May 21 interview with anti-doping authorities. On July 9, she provided an explanation that a doctor alleged that her medical condition and treatment could explain an elevated level of (endogenous) testosterone. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU), which handles doping cases in track and field, did not accept the explanation to affect the standard four-year ban. Her suspension began May 13, the date she was first provisionally banned. She can appeal the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. "I can no longer fight on two fronts — my honest name in front of the Athletics Integrity Unit and my future in my personal life," was posted on Bekh-Romanchuk's social media, according to a translation. "It's incredibly exhausting, firstly emotionally and has an impact on my health. Sometimes it's important to take a break and get your priorities right. That's why I decided to take a break to focus on my family and my own health. Soon the decision of the Athletics Integrity Unit will be published, with which I strongly disagree. I refused to sign any documents that required recognition of my guilt, because I am an honest person and my humanity and dignity are important to me. It pains me that my case has been handled carelessly and not conducted the necessary investigation. I understand that this raises a lot of questions - so soon I will be giving a big interview in which I will tell everything frankly." Bekh-Romanchuk won world championships silver in the long jump in 2019 and silver in the triple jump in 2023. Her best Olympic finish was fifth in the long jump at the Tokyo Games. Her most recent competition was the Paris Games, where she placed 11th in the long jump after being sidelined by injury earlier in 2024.

American teams could replace axed Welsh regions in revamped URC
The United Rugby Championship is in talks that could see two of its Welsh regions being replaced by United States-based teams. Telegraph Sport has been told there is 'big money on the table' to expand the competition to six nations amid an imminent announcement about its future in Wales. In the next 24 hours, the crisis-plagued Welsh Rugby Union is expected to present a plan that could cut its number of URC clubs from four to two. They could eventually be replaced by two teams based on the east coast of the United States, with the URC looking to exploit the Rugby World Cup in the country in 2031. Sources have told Telegraph Sport that expansion into the US would not be dependent on the loss of two Welsh clubs from the 16-team competition, although discussions remain at an early stage. According to those with knowledge of the talks, the URC would instead weigh up how competitive those teams would be, as well as logistical and travel issues. That would currently rule out sides from Major League Rugby, who would not be able to hold their own against those in the URC. The URC is also said to be exploring alternative options to set up linked divisions in Europe and Africa, feeding into the league – with the aim of driving growth in the global game for the 2031 World Cup and beyond. Telegraph Sport has contacted the URC for comment. Speaking in June, URC chief executive Martin Anayi said: 'As the URC, we have always had expansion in DNA. We have been the Celtic League, and we moved, and we have tried to grow each time. And we have done that. 'I think we have genuinely made it a better league. I think it is important that we continue to look outwards. But also, the bar is very high because, for every game you add, there is a player welfare issue to engage with. And that is something you have to make sure you aren't compromising. 'You have logistics, especially when we are transcontinental, and then you have the sporting element, and we want it to be as competitive as ever. So I would never say never, but I think the bar is very high to do that. 'We play less rugby with the URC model and format. We don't have home and away games in every match. And it also allows us to not play across international weekends. 'We have almost 320 internationals playing in the league, which is almost double what you have in the Premiership or Super Rugby. 'If we do expand in the future, it has to be in the right way, and we don't fall into the traps of those who have done it in the past, and it hasn't been successful.' Any axing of Welsh clubs would not be for this season, with a WRU announcement set to be followed by a six-week consultation period with stakeholders. Cardiff, owned and run by the union after being plunged into administration earlier this year, look set to be spared from any cull. However, Scarlets, Ospreys and Dragons are all reportedly resisting mergers that would result in one team in the east and one in the west. The URC last expanded in 2021 when four South African franchises joined the competition, which previously featured teams from Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Italy. Telegraph Sport revealed last year that Premiership clubs had discussed a proposal for a merger with the URC – minus teams from South Africa and Italy. The URC later appeared to pour cold water on the idea by announcing it was 'committed' to the pace of growth it said it had enjoyed under its existing five-nation format.
