TRIATHLON 2015 ยท GOLD COAST 32
AMERICA FLEXES ITS MUSCLE
US WOMEN SWEEP THE PODIUM
An uncontested run to the finish line saw Gwen
Jorgensen grab another slice of ITU history as she
claimed her eighth consecutive WTS victory at the
2015 ITU World Triathlon Gold Coast. The victory
marked the longest-running WTS streak of any elite
woman since the inception of the Series.
Joining her on the podium were fellow Americans
Sarah True claiming silver and Katie Zaferes with
bronze in a USA clean sweep that had not happened
since Australia's Emma Moffat, Emma Snowsill and
Emma Jackson achieved it at the WTS Hamburg in
2011.
"I don't think you ever have a perfect race but I was
certainly thrilled to come out of the water and be in
the front pack right away. I mean one, two, three
for Team USA, I don't think you can get any better
standing on the podium and looking over and seeing
the other two girls and hearing the national anthem,
we could not ask for anything more," said Jorgensen.
