152 WORLD TRIATHLON 2017 I TRIATHLON WORLD CUP RACES
Spaniard Uxio Abuin claimed his first victory of the season
after a perfectly executed race in the 2017 ITU Weihai
World Cup that saw Mexican Rodrigo Gonzalez finishing
second and Spain's Alberto Serrat Seoane third.
The Spaniards showed that they were the best runners
in the field, with Serrat Seoane quickly taking the lead
followed right on his feels by Abuin and an impressive
Rodrigo Gonzalez, who was 24th with two laps remaining
in the bike leg but right in contention with the leaders
within a few kilometres after. The trio then remained
together for half of the run, leaving behind some of the
other big names in the Weihai field, before Abuin turned
up the heat to take the tape.
In the women's race, Switzerland's Jolanda Annen
executed an almost perfect race, leading from the start
and refusing to take any risks to earn her second World
Cup victory of the year. She was joined on the podium by
Aussie Emma Jackson and Russian Anastasia Gorbunova.
