TRIATHLON 2015 ยท LONDON 74
A NEW MIX
BROWNLEE RETAKES THE CROWN
Making his home country proud, Alistair Brownlee
captured a breakaway win in London, where he'd
won his Olympic gold medal three years earlier.
With the familiar crowd cheering him on in Hyde
Park as he crossed the sprint distance finish line
at 50:39, the Brit was able to tally his second WTS
victory of the season.
"I didn't expect that at all after struggling through
two races so far," Alistair said. "I just went for it, I
got the gap very quickly and got into my stride. I felt
really good. I was just delighted to actually be able
to race to the best of my ability. I'm delighted to win,
but really I'm just pleased that I felt good."
Taking the silver medal was Spain's Fernando Alarza,
who claimed his first WTS podium of the year.
He was followed by Vincent Luis of France with the
bronze. Luis' performance earned him his third
podium position of the season after a second-place
finish in Abu Dhabi and third-place finish in Cape
Town earlier in the year.
