On a sun-kissed afternoon in Ibiza's San Antonio, it was Italy's multisport queen Sandra Mairhofer who once again made the transition from ski to swim look like the most natural thing in the world, this year's champion in the snow of Norway scooping up the summer Cross Triathlon world title with a typically dominant mountain biking display. Spain's Marta Borbon Llorente led teammate Marina Munoz Hernando and Irene Moro Betrian out of the 1km swim a full 20 seconds ahead of Anna Zehnder (SUI) and Mairhofer, another pre-race favourite Duvoisin 40 seconds back as she started the long run towards transition. There would be no stopping the Italian once out on two wheels, however, the advantage growing throughout the 20km bike and then hammered home on the run to finish 40 seconds ahead of Switzerland's Loanne Duvoisin, Alizee Paties of France with bronze. 5 May 2023 Cross Triathlon - Elite Women 171 contents
