TRIATHLON 2015 ยท YOKOHAMA 56
CAN'T STOP, WON'T STOP
JORGENSEN COMPLETES YOKOHAMA HAT TRICK
Showing no weaknesses in the rainy and cold
weather, Gwen Jorgensen extended her undefeated
streak in claiming her ninth consecutive win by
taking gold at the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Series
Yokohama. Crossing the line with a lead of over one
minute, the win for Jorgensen also marked her
third-straight victory in Yokohama and catapulted
her back to the number one position in the Columbia
Threadneedle Rankings after sitting out Cape Town.
Taking the silver medal was Ashleigh Gentle, who
posted the best performance of her career in
earning her first WTS podium. Fellow Australian
Emma Moffatt also joined her on the podium when
she took bronze to earn her first medal since the
2013 WTS Grand Final in London.
"It was wet out there and I knew I had to be careful
so rode at the front a little more to stay away from
any crashes. I heard something behind me, I wasn't
sure if anyone went down or not but it is better to
be safe. I came here knowing this is the last 10k
before the Rio Test Event so I really wanted to get
a good 10k in and push myself and really go hard,"
Jorgensen said.
