Doha, Qatar: Final preparations are underway as Visit Qatar readies to welcome the world's elite triathletes to Doha for the inaugural Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final, taking place from December 10 to 13. This event marks the grand finale of the T100 World Tour. The event marks the concluding stage of the global T100 Triathlon World Tour and reinforces Qatar's growing position as a host of major international sporting events.

Currently leading the men's professional field is New Zealand's Olympic silver medallist Hayden Wilde, who enters the final at the top of the T100 Race to Qatar rankings following a strong season.

The women's field will be led by British Olympian Kate Waugh, who currently holds first place in the women's standings.
