DANIEL DELIGHTS IN FRONT OF HOME CROWD
The U.S. enjoyed a successful day at the Edmonton
ITU World Paratriathlon Event when five athletes
raced over the finish line first. In just her second
year competing in paratriathlon, Amy Dixon clen-
ched her second World Paratriathlon Event win,
finishing nearly two minutes ahead of Canada's
Christine Robbins in silver and Ireland's Catherine
Walsh in third in the women's PT5 sport class.
Patricia Collins (USA) returned to the top of the
podium for the first time in Edmonton since
winning the TRI-5 sport class at the 2012 World
Championships as the winner of PT4. Meanwhile,
Allysa Seely (USA) advanced on her road to Rio with
a win in the women's PT2.
It was Canada's own Stefan Daniel that stole the
show on home soil, winning the men's PT4 sport
class with a line-to-line lead. Canada was treated to
another win in men's PT5 top finisher Lowell Taylor.
A jovial Giovanni Achenza picked up his second win of
the season in men's PT1 with a monster win, crushing
the competition by more than six minutes, while
Mohamed Lahna also secured a win in men's PT2
sport class by a sizable margin of three minutes.
