98 WORLD TRIATHLON 2017 I WORLD TRIATHLON SERIES
Bermuda's Flora Duffy became only the second woman
in ITU history to win five World Triathlon Series races in
a single season after a dominating victory at the 2017
ITU World Triathlon Stockholm. The win secured her the
overall series lead going into the Rotterdam Grand Final,
accumulating a perfect score of 4000 points in her effort
to retaining the world title.
"I was very happy to execute a solid race in the swim, bike
and run. My swim had been a little shakier this year so it
was nice to come out third behind Jess (Learmonth) and
Lucy (Hall), it was a perfect position. And then onto the
bike we were hammering on that first lap to create a gap
and that kind of set the race up perfectly," Duffy said.
Taking the silver was Great Britain's Jessica Learmonth
earning her first-ever WTS medal, while the bronze
went to Aussie Ashleigh Gentle, who produced a fine
burst through the field to earn her fourth podium
finish of the season.
