Super League Triathlon has released the first episode of a four-part documentary series Every Second Counts.

The 46-minute first episode – Episode 1: The Golden Quartet – is available exclusively through Super League Triathlon’s YouTube channel.

It tells the story of Olympic Gold medalists Jonny Brownlee, Georgia Taylor Brown, Alex Yee and Jess Learmonth, as they take on the first race of the series in London.

The Every Second Counts series provides behind-the-scenes access to the best athletes in the world as they battle for the Championship Series title over four back-to-back races in four different countries.

Super League Triathlon co-founder and CEO, Michael D’hulst, said: “The release of Every Second Counts is a big moment for triathlon and the journey of evolving it from a participation sport into a spectator experience with mainstream appeal. If you looked at sport 10-20 years ago it was purely about the event or match. But now people are curious and they’re used to seeing more. There’s a 360-degree view to everything that’s involved with sport.

“Every Second Counts is the pinnacle of showcasing triathlon and being part of what sport currently is. It’s also the future. For an athlete it is a great opportunity to showcase their lifestyle and what goes into their incredible performance, to allow a deeper understanding of what is behind that one moment, and share that with the audience and the fans.”

Olympic gold medal triathlete Georgia Taylor-Brown said: “It is so good. It is so dramatic and I got goosebumps at points. Everyone only sees us on the race course and the nerves and the drama around all of that so it is nice for people to see us behind the scenes.”
