It was the men's PTS5 athletes who got things
started, Filipe Marques (POR) delivering the fastest
swim only for Yannick Borseaux (FRA) to dominate
the bike course, but it was the consistency of
Spaniard Jairo Ruiz Lopez that brought home the
gold by 30 seconds from Brazil's Ronan Cordeiro.
The visually impaired races saw a Spanish double
gold from the familiar faces of Susana Rodriguez
and Hector Catala Laparra. Rodriguez had Ukrainian
Vita Oleksiuk for close company out of the water
but pulled away on the bike and run, Meriam Amara
of France with bronze. It was another imperious
display from Catala, too, untouchable across all
three segments to finish ahead of compatriot Jose
Luis Garcia Serrano and Antoine Perel.
Another Frenchman, Jules Ribstein, took control of
the men's PTS2 to finish more than three minutes
clear of teammate Geoffrey Wersy and Spain's
Lionel Morales, Cecile Saboureau with gold in the
women's event. The experienced Spaniard Daniel
Molina beat Joaquin Carrasco in the men's PTS3,
Elise Marc winning the women's race ahead of
fellow Frenchwoman Coline Grabinski.
Alexis Hanquinquant was in dominant form in the
men's PTS4 to beat Japan's Hideki Uda by over four
minutes, Jussi Lotvonen of Finland with the bronze.
A Spanish one-two in the women's race saw Marta
Frances Gomez finish ahead of Carmen Gonzalez
Sanchez.
A lightening swim from Lauren Steadman then
set the tone for the Brit to take the PTS5 gold by
three minutes from Alisa Kolpachy (UKR) and Marta
Dziecitkowska (POL).
