TRIATHLON 2016 I GOLD COAST 58
MOLA DOUBLES UP ON WTS
WINS
COMPETITION HEATED IN TRIATHLON PARADISE
Keeping his undefeated 2016 streak alive, Spaniard
Mario Mola executed a brilliant finishing run to win the
2016 Jewel World Triathlon Gold Coast.
After conquering the Gold Coast heat, Mola remained
within the top tier from start to finish, and then
showcased his signature running speed in the final two
and a half kilometres to bypass Great Britain's Jonathan
Brownlee and Spanish compatriot Fernando Alarza. The
win granted Mola his second WTS victory of the season
and third-straight season win after also taking gold in the
Mooloolaba World Cup.
Mola said of his win, "Yeah, it was really tough. Jonny
was really strong during most of the run. I was very
happy for Fernando that he got second place. I felt
great during the whole race. I tried to stay in the front
as much as I could on the bike in order to make it a
10k run and I think things went well and I was very
happy with the result."
