Identity & Authority — The Lens

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

The primary authority gap is technical rather than substantive; the site lacks structured JSON-LD schema to formalize its ‘Organization’ or ‘Person’ identities (athletes). While the digital footprint of the named athletes (Beth Potter, Vasco Vilaca) is globally verifiable, the absence of SameAs links in the metadata prevents a perfect score. Technical credibility is mostly high, though the duplication of several H2 news headings on the homepage suggests minor content management inefficiencies.

There is no disconnect between marketing tone and demonstrated capability. The site claims to provide ‘All the triathlon live and on-demand’ and supports this with a dedicated ‘Videos’ page, an app download section, and a detailed 2023 TV Broadcaster List. Performance claims are technical (e.g., ’20 camera positions including boat, motorcycle and helicopter’) and are corroborated by the extensive photo and video galleries provided.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
