After successfully testing the innovative new struc-
ture in 2012, Tiszaujvaros celebrated its 17th anni-
versary in 2013 with the thrilling two-day sprint
semi-finals and finals structure. On day one, Austra-
lia again dominated the women's heats with Char-
lotte McShane and Tamsyn Moana-Veale the two
winners, while all of the men's favourites advanced
to the finals led by heat winners Yegor Martynenko
(UKR), Declan Wilson (AUS) and Anthony Pujades
(FRA). But in the women's final it was the USA's
Katie Hursey who scored back-to-back World Cup
wins with a brilliantly tactical race, keeping herself
in the chase group before exploding on the run.
Aileen Reid (IRL) finished second and Sara Vilic (AUT)
completed the podium. In the thrilling men's final,
2013 U23 European champion Florin Salvisberg
was in the lead of the race from start to finish as he
collected his first ITU World Cup win. Francesc
Godoy (ESP) silver was his first career WC medal,
while Frederic Belaubre (FRA) collected bronze.
