Following up on an agonising relay silver in 2022 and individual fourth place on Saturday, Giorgia Priarone steered Italy safely home to the Duathlon 2x2 Mixed Relay World Championship title with teammate Samuele Anglini. Each leg comprised a fast, intense 2km run along the Santa Eulalia harbourside, straightforward 5km out-and-back bike and final 1km finish, with the men out first and women charged with taking the tape. It was to be 24-year-old Angelini and Priarone who combined to powerful effect, capitalising on an unfortunate early bike crash between France II and Spain II to dominate the second half of the race. France I crossed for silver after a tense final kilometre between Marion Le Goff and Belgium's Maurine Riccour set up by Benjamin Choquert and Arnaud Dely. 30 Apr 2023 Duathlon - Mixed Relay 159 contents
