EDMONTON- It’s the world cup final for the elite. Tuesday morning, our city welcomed thousands of triple threat athletes for the [TransCanada Corp. World Triathlon Grand Final](http://edmonton.triathlon.org/).

The event – which sees more than 3,000 triathletes flock to the City of Champions – runs until September 1.
