TRIATHLON 2015 ยท HAMBURG 84
THE NEED FOR SPEED
BRITS FIRE UP IN A FURIOUS SPRINT
Proving that she is also capable at dominating in a
sprint, USA's Gwen Jorgensen claimed victory at
the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Hamburg. With Great
Britain's Vicky Holland giving Jorgensen some pres-
sure up until the last 500 metres, the 11-time WTS
consecutive winner showcased her speed and pure
talent by breaking away on the blue carpet to ulti-
mately take home yet another gold.
"A lot was going through my head at the end, Vicky
really pushed me. I could feel her right there on my
shoulder, so I knew it was going to be a fight until the
end," said Jorgensen.
Holland, who had earned the only other WTS title
at this point in the season, displayed a phenomenal
performance on the day to finish with the silver
medal. Behind her, compatriot Non Stanford showed
she was back in fighting form after missing a year of
competition when she pushed to join the podium
with bronze.
