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).
