TRIATHLON 2016 I WORLD CUP RACES 180
TISZAUJVAROS TURNS 20
POLYANSKIY AND TOMLIN CLAIM TISZY CROWNS
For this year's 20th anniversary of the Tiszaujvaros
World Cup, the race maintained its semi-finals and finals
format, with three semifinals for the men and two for the
female triathletes.
A great mix of newcomers and previous Tiszy winners
claimed the podium at the 2016 ITU Tiszaujvaros World
Cup, with Russian Dmitry Polyanskiy and American Renee
Tomlin claiming the golds. The northern Hungarian town
is one of the longest running World Cups in ITU history.
In the men's race, Igor Polyanskiy – Dmitry's brother
– finished second and local hero Tamas Toth (HUN)
completed the podiums, while Ukraine's Yuliya Yelistratova
and Russia's Elena Danilova finished second and third in
the women's race.
"It was a great race. The atmosphere was amazing,
and I felt really good since the beginning", said Tomlin
after winning the race. As for the men's, it was Dmitry's
second win in Tiszy, having won in 2009, while his
younger brother was the previous Tiszy champion.
