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."
