Potter claims triathlon silver in Yokohama
Potter, who was 14th for Great Britain over 10km in last month's European Road Running Championships, finished four seconds behind Luxembourg's Jeanne Lehair with Germany's Lisa Tertsch in third, two seconds back.
Reigning Olympic and world champion Cassandre Beaugrand of France crashed out on lap six of the bike leg.
Therese Feuersinger of Austria held a narrow lead over Tertsch and Lehair after the swim, with Potter and Beaugrand 14 seconds behind.
Weather conditions resulted in a changed bike course and Potter and the chasing group caught up with the leaders by lap three.
Lehair went clear in the run and held on for victory, despite the Briton running the fastest run leg in the race.
In the Para races, Tokyo gold medallist and Paris bronze medallist Lauren Steadman was a comfortable winner of the women's PT5 category, with Michael Taylor taking silver in the men's PT4 behind French star Alexis Hanquinquant.

Robert Andrich named new Bayer Leverkusen captain
Bayer Leverkusen have become the third Bundesliga club to anoint a new captain heading into the new season. Whereas Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig have taken the captain's role from players still in the squad, however, Leverkusen found themselves in need of a new skipper following a departure. German national team midfielder Robert Andrich will inherit former keeper Lukas Hradecky's armband. Andrich's elevated to captain had long been rumored. The 30-year-old's leadership in midfield shall be sorely needed, particularly after the summer departure of team talisman Granit Xhaka. Andrich – who strongly considered leaving Leverkusen at the end of last season – is now tasked with serving as a pillar of stability following a mass exodus of players who regularly served under previous head coach Xabi Alonso. 'It was a totally straight forward decision,' new Leverkusen head coach Erik ten Hag noted at a Thursday press conference. 'He [Andrich] emerged as a leader throughout training camp. He's a natural leader. We had several leaders, but he stood out. He brought people together. The captaincy is more than the armband and I think he's the right type of person for this.' 'Naturally, It's a huge honor for me.' Andrich himself added in his own statement. 'I'm very happy about the recognition from the coach and the coaching staff. The coach told me the day before yesterday. The team was then told yesterday on the pitch. I'm very happy about it.' GGFN | Peter Weis

Ten Hag 'fully focused' ahead of competitive debut for Leverkusen
New coach Erik ten Hag is "fully focused" ahead of his competitive debut for Bayer Leverkusen as they visit fourth-division Sonnenhof Grossaspach in the opening round of the German Cup on Friday "We are fully focused on this game and want to be dominant, keen to attack and play with a great team spirit," he said in a news conference on Thursday. "Focus – it's all about that. If we have that then we are in with a good chance of winning with all due respect to a very strong opponent." Leverkusen had mixed results in pre-season matches after a summer mass exodus of key figures, including playmaker Florian Wirtz, midfielder Granit Xhaka and defender Jonathan Tah. New players have arrived in the form of midfielders Malik Tillman and Ibrahim Maza, winger Ernest Poku, defender Jarell Quansah, and goalkeepers Mark Flekken and Janis Blaswich. "The new players have settled in really quickly and that was enormously important. Now we can fully focus on training and the matches ahead. We give the team a structure and set out a match plan but at the same time we want to allow enough leeway for creativity and intuition," Ten Hag said. Ahead of the match, the coach appointed Germany international Robert Andrich as the successor to Hradecky as the team captain. "It was a natural process. He led the way himself in the preseason, was always positive and brought people together. He is the right man for this job," the Dutchman said.
