@LaLlave1704 Currently most items attract 3% import duty and items from 3rd countries (UK) will attract 12% EU Tarrif. The 15% Gib tax is applied to the landed cost which includes freight + EU tarrif. Total costs go from 3% to 28% rising to 30% in 2028 for UK items.

If local business currently pay 10-12% import duty, the transaction tax will only increase the cost of goods by 3%, why is everyone loosing their shit over the 15% transactions tax which replaces import duties? Explain like I am 5 yrs old?

Power starting to be restored to the North end of Gibraltar. Cause is identified as damage caused to high voltage cables close to the North Mole.

@Barrieshepley Bumped into John at Ironman Cascais back in 2021. What a great guy and happy to share his opinions of the best races to take on. Can’t see anyone ever beating his record.

My Canadian pals L-R. Elizabeth Model @ 100 Ironman finishes, John Wragg at 275 Ironman finishes & Glen Gundermann at 10. Nobody in the world is near husband & wife Model & Wragg who have a combined goal of 400x across the line in an Ironman. Truly incredible accomplishment.

@tri247 Having done many full distance events all over the world IMO the @OutlawTriathlon is best value for money full distance event. I did the first one in 2010 and it was superb.

@Barrieshepley @simonwhitfield Following Simon at the Opening Ceremony of London 2012 (the first Triathlete I think?) I had the honour in the Opening Ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games for Gibraltar 🇬🇮 Proudest moment of my sporting life.

How cool for our sport. Triathlon's Olympic Mens Gold Medal @Lixsanyee will be carrying the flag for his nation at tonight's closing ceremony. I remember @simonwhitfield carrying it in 2000 in Sydney. Have there been any other triathletes carry into the closing ceremony?

@Timheming Lisa Tertsch was also a standout performer for me in the relay. Such a shame she came off the bike in the individual event I think she would have made the podium.

Fastest male and female splits from Olympic triathlon mixed team relay. Alex Yee (GBR): 20:03 Taylor Knibb (USA): 22:13 Knibb's is the standout here. It's 15 seconds faster than the next best of Germany's Laura Lindemann (also on the anchor leg)

Key moment of relay was Pierre Le Corre crash. Le Corre: "I was right behind him, I couldn't do anything." Said Wilde came into corner "a bit aggressive" but felt it was a racing incident. Other athletes I spoke to said similar.

@WorldAthletics @Paris2024 still making athletes fix their names to the front & back of their vests with safety pins & stick numbers on their legs….surely there is a better option. @worldtriathlon does a much better job.

#Gibraltar #Weather - 18/07 A mostly cloudy and muggy day of #Levante with misty low cloud to start and some patchy fog - some brighter intervals gradually developing but thickening upper cloud also pushing up from Morocco may bring the risk of a spot of rain/ light shower. 27C. Skies remaining hazy with #SaharanDust

@GibReserve Can I please suggest the banning of smoking in the Nature Reserve. Probably a good idea in order to reduce the risk of a fire.

Management work on the firebreaks is happening now. Important for fire safety but also critical for biodiversity as it provides open habitat for many species.

Let's test your Triathlon IQ. How many golds, how many silvers & how many Olympic bronze medals does this trio have? Proud to be headed to Paris and my 7th consecutive Olympic Games, where more fireworks are expected in the 3 triathlon races.

Looking for a new trisuit. Would you go for Trimtex or Surpas?

@Timheming It looked like Dickinson did his fair share of work on the front of the bike group and then proved he had the faster run so based on current form he must be the favourite.

Dickinson wins in Poland, beating Brownlee into third place by 3sec in a sprint finish. Is that the end of the road for Jonathan Brownlee's bid for a fourth Olympic Games and fourth consecutive Olympic medal? Down to selectors now with decision due around June 10.
Tim Heming@Timheming

Dickinson and Brownlee won their respective heats to move through to the final. Clearly plenty of motivation for both. Milner finished third in Dickinson's heat. Break now before the finals. Livestream here: youtube.com/watch?v=nhZqKQ…
