Collins Cup Records (Overall Time And Per Discipline)
I really like the concept of the Collins Cup. Not every day can you see triathlon as a team sport. I think it is great for the athletes, so they get a sense of camaraderie and for us spectators, go team Europe! 🙂
If you don’t know how the Collins Cup works, look at this article which covers all the basics: “Everything You Should Know Before Watching The Collins Cup.”
I hesitated to write an article about individual times for a team event. But as triathletes have the motivation to get extra points if they have a bigger time gap, I think it does make sense. So here you go!
THE COLLINS CUP PODIUM OVER THE YEARS
In the table below, you can find the ranking of the Collins Cup over the years. In bracket is the total number of points collected. Interesting to know is that the first team always brings home the Collins Cup trophy for one year, and the last one, the Broken Spokes one 😀
You can find the details of each match on the PTO website (link to website, no affiliation)
