TRIATHLON 2015 ยท CHICAGO GRAND FINAL 126
THE PERFECT SEASON
JORGENSEN GOES UNDEFEATED
FOR SECOND WORLD TITLE
USA's Gwen Jorgensen was crowned royalty for
a second consecutive time after winning her 12th
straight WTS race at the Grand Final Chicago,
completing an undefeated WTS season. After
winning in true Jorgensen fashion by blasting away
on the run, she earned the World Champ title with
a perfect score of 5200 points in the Columbia
Threadneedle Rankings.
"This is just crazy, I never thought I would be
unbeaten this season, to be able to perform on so
many different days when I am not feeling well, hilly
courses, it just doesn't seem real, " said Jorgensen.
British compatriots Non Stanford and Vicky Holland
joined Jorgensen on the Grand Final podium after
pushing to stick with the World Champ for three
out of the four run laps. Their podiums also earned
them spots at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Andrea Hewitt finished fourth in Chicago, which
boosted her Series points enough to make her
second overall in the 2015 Columbia Threadneedle
Rankings. Sarah True finished seventh at the Grand
Final, but remained on the Series podium in third.
