The 2023 World Triathlon Multisport Championships Ibiza finally took to the water of Santa Eulalia, a 1km swim leading into a flat but tight 5km, and the crowds were once again out in force for the third day of competition. Richard Varga was the man to watch until the Hungarian duo of U23 rising star Gorgi Dobi and Marton Kropko set a rapid pace, Spain's Cristian Fernandez Neto on their feet, Britain's Jimmy Lund sticking close. That move lasted the first kilometre along the harbour before Fernandez and Lund pulled alongside, Dobi falling off the front while Italy's Michele Bortolamedi patiently moved into position ten seconds back. Perham stuck to his task and suddenly he was able to reel in those ahead and hit second up the final turn, but it was Fernandez who held on for a superb win, Lund following Perham onto the podium. 1 May 2023 Aquathlon - Elite 161 contents
