13 Jul 2023 Junior Men World Championship Portugal's Joao Nuno Batista fulfilled his dream of matching his older brother's feat of winning the World Triathlon Junior Championships in Hamburg, pulling a momentous finish out of the fire of a three-way showdown with Nils Serre Gehri of France and Canada's Mathis Beaulieu to surge to the tape and the 2023 title. It had been a Hungarian masterclass for the first half of the race as Marton Kropko and Zalan Gabor pulled clear of the field along with Jack Crome (AUS) and Gregor Rasva (EST), only for them to be caught by the unreal firepower of that trio on the second of two laps of the 5km run. After an extended game of cat and mouse with Beaulieu and Serre, Batista eventually summoned the power and timing to put in one final surge onto the blue carpet and into the history books. 42 contents
