May 2026 – Sobey opened his month in Chengdu, China, where he placed 13th in the World Triathlon Cup individual men’s race, navigating a deep international field in a fast-paced Olympic-distance competition. He returned to action the very next day in the mixed relay event, where he delivered a strong anchor-leg performance to help Canada secure a bronze medal, finishing in a tightly contested battle for the final podium position against the United States in 1:22:53.

Building on that momentum, Sobey then travelled to Japan for the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) in Yokohama, where he delivered a career-best performance at the elite level. He finished 7th overall in 1:40:31, marking his first-ever top-10 finish on the WTCS circuit. The result highlighted his growing strength on the run and ability to move through elite international fields, climbing from well back in the swim to finish among the world’s best.

Congratulations, Martin!
