SAMUELS AND POLYANSKIY DOMINATE IN KOREA
New Zealand Olympian Nicky Samuels scored a dominating wire-to-wire victory in Korea. Following a successful two-woman bike breakaway with Korea's
Yun-Jung Jang, Samuels held off the hard-charging
Maria Czesnik and Yuka Sato for her second career
ITU World Cup title.
Russia's Dmitry Polyanskiy claimed his second
Tongyeong World Cup title in a row finishing ahead of
Poland's Marek Jaskolka. Polyanskiy was joined on
the podium by younger brother Igor Polyanskiy who
took his first ITU World Cup medal with bronze. The
Polyanskiy brothers worked together on the swim
and bike to set each other up for the run. Within the
first lap, Dmitry dropped his challengers and never
looked back all the way to the finish line.
