MURRAY & GOMEZ GO TO BATTLE
In the final WTS stop before the Grand Final,
Richard Murray put together a remarkable day
under tough and chilly conditions in the sprint
distance race to secure his second ever World
Triathlon Series win.
"Javi was hanging on the whole time and I really
had to give it everything," Murray said. "I had some
issues at the start of the day. I broke my swim cap,
I had to give it everything in the end. My swim was
much better than last year, and I managed to push
hard on the bike."
Driving to become the first athlete to win five World
Championships, Javier Gomez finished second to
retain the top Columbia Threadneedle Rankings
spot. Compatriot Mario Mola, who sat second in
the rankings, took third, which made him just 225
points behind Gomez a week ahead of the World
Championships.
