Cozumel title wide open for women’s race

The triathlon season is anything but over as the World Cup circuit continues with the sun and speed taking over at the 2015 Cozumel ITU World Cup. The women’s field is open for a new champion as the 2014 winner, Nicola Spirig, is not in contention this year. With the course set for a sprint distance that features a flat but technical bike course, the competition will be packed with heated action on Sunday, October 4. Capping off the start list is Rachel Klamer (NED). She has had a consistently solid season, finishing sixth overall in the WTS Columbia Threadneedle rankings. Remaining in the top-twenty in every race she has contended in this year, she just finished off the WTS season with her most impressive position, coming in at fifth in the Chicago Grand Final. Potentially her highest accolade of 2015, Klamer earned the silver medal at the Baku European Games. And while Cozumel will be her first World Cup race of the season, she is sure to impress once the whistle blows on Sunday. Two podium winners from Cozumel last year return in the hopes of reclaiming their positions. Lisa Perterer (AUT) just missed the gold by seven seconds last year, coming in second to Spirig to take home the silver medal. But with Spirig off the start list, make no mistake she will be wanting to take dibs on this year’s title. 2014’s bronze medal was awarded to Yuliya Yelistratova (UKR). While she has remained on the eastern hemisphere for the majority of the season having great success in European Cups, she has crossed the globe to compete in Cozumel and will stop at nothing to get back on the podium for the second consecutive year. Japan’s Ai Ueda and Yuka Sato are both set to race in Cozumel for the first time on Sunday. Ueda has a season best in the World Cup circuit when she finished fifth in New Plymouth in March. Sato will be racing her first World Cup race of the season, but has tallied two top-ten finishes in the WTS cycle, so will be one to watch in Mexico. Lisa Norden (SWE) will be toeing the line as well under the Mexican sun. The Swedish super star has still seen side effects in her recovery from an injury, but has made huge gains this season. She earned the bronze medal at the Baku European Games and has made some quality podiums in the European market. USA is bringing a strong squad to its neighboring country. Lindsey Jerdonek, Renee Tomlin and Kaitlin Donner are all in the top ten on the start list. Tomlin has recorded two World Cup podiums...

GBs Jacqui Slack takes fourth at ITU Cross Tri World Champs

Ruben Ruzafa and Flora Duffy win 2015 titles

Ruzafa and Duffy dominate at Cross Tri World Champs

Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) and Flora Duffy (BER) were crowned the king and queen of the rough and tough on Saturday after winning the 2015 Sardegna ITU Cross Triathlon World Championship. Conquering one of the grittiest and grimiest races of the season, Ruzafa was named World Champion for the second consecutive year, while Duffy earned the gold for the first time. Women’s Review After earning only the silver in Zittau last year, Flora Duffy set out to claim her first World title with a mission of authority, and after her performance in Sardegna, her mission was finally deemed successful. Joining her on the podium was ITU multisport newcomer Barbara Riveros (CHI), who took silver, and Brigitta Poór (HUN), who took the bronze. Duffy commanded the race right off the bat after taking an early lead in the swim. With an advantage of nearly 1:30, she was first to exit the waters. Riveros followed in the second position, with South African Carla Van Huyssteen not far behind. Struggling through the first transition, Van Hussteen lost time in the zone and was unable to hold onto a top placement. Putting her strongest discipline to the test, Duffy was able to increase her lead to over two minutes on the bike. Cruising through the mudslinging off road tracks, the Bermudian seemingly remained untouched so far in the competition with only the run left before she was able to secure her crown. While Duffy worked alone on the bike, Riveros, Poór and Carina Wasle (AUT) toughed it out together. Germany’s reigning World Champion Kathrin Müller entered the day in the hopes of reclaiming the title she won in 2014. But after the bike, it looked as if the day would end without any second chances as she trailed by a massive gap of 13 minutes behind Duffy. It was the run that eventually determined the tough from the tougher. While the trio of Duffy, Riveros and Poor had worked to put themselves into the 1,2,3 positions, it was up to them if they could hold out on the run to grab the podium that they had worked so hard for. Duffy carried out the fastest run split of the day right into the finish line to secure her the World Championship she was longing for. Riveros also secured the silver after delivering a swift run time, which catapulted her into the respect lines of the multisport world. Using the momentum of the lead she built up from the bike, Poor was able to finish the day in third. Great Britain’s Jacqueline Slack took fourth place after displaying an...

Reigning champs return to reclaim cross tri title

This weekend will showcase one of the muddiest disciplines in triathlon with the 2015 Sardegna ITU Cross Triathlon World Championship. Set over a 1.5km swim, 31km off terrain bike and 9.6km cross country run, athletes will grind it out for a chance to call themselves the world’s best. With a challenging course that offers technical turns, sandy sections and off road tracks, this race is not for the faint of heart. Thanks to the surge in popularity cross triathlon has received, Saturday will feature a mixture of veterans and newcomers that is sure to be scintillating. In addition to the elites, the Under23, junior, age group and paratriathlon divisions will be contested. Women’s Preview Kathrin Muller (GER) returns as the reigning Cross Triathlon World Champion after collecting her first title in Zittau last year. Her victory came after she dominated and stole the crown over the two-time Cross Triathlon World Champion Helena Erbenova (CZE). This year, with Erbenova off the start list, it is Muller’s race to lose as she vies for a back-to-back title. Lining up second against Muller is Flora Duffy (BER), who earned silver last year. While Duffy hasn’t been as steadfast on the XTERRA circuit as compared to last year, she did win the XTERRA Mountain Championship in July. While she has been focusing on the World Triathlon Series and qualifying for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games this season, the strong cyclist is still a name to look out for. Renata Bucher (GER) won the 2015 Schluchsee ETU TNatura Cross Triathlon European Championships and can be expected to carry that momentum into Sardegna in the hopes of improving from her seventh-place finish in Zittau last year. No stranger to the sport, Jacqueline Slack (GBR) nears the top of the women’s elite start list. Finishing sixth in the World Championships last year, she competed in the 2015 Snowy Mountains OTU Cross Triathlon Oceania Championships and took home the silver medal. Another name making headlines in the multisport world is Elisabetta Curridori (ITA). Taking the European market by storm, she earned the silver in the Revine Lago - Tarzo ETU TNatura Cross Triathlon European Cup, right before she went on to be crowned victor at the Schluchsee ETU TNatura Cross Triathlon European Championships in the 20-24 age group sport class. Ranked third in the XTERRA European elite rankings is Carina Wasle (AUT). She earned the bronze medal in Schluchsee and will without a doubt be looking to get within...

Columbia Threadneedle Rankings Report Grand Final

Welcome to the final Columbia Threadneedle Rankings Report of 2015. We do hope you have enjoyed these in-depth reviews as the season has progressed. What a fantastic year it has been, culminating in Chicago with sensational racing, a whole host of records being broken and two truly exceptional ITU World Champions. Women’s Review Any thoughts of unlucky 13 for Gwen Jorgensen were eliminated in Chicago. The moment she powered away from Non Stanford and Vicky Holland with just over 2km of the run remaining, another victory for Jorgensen never looked in doubt. That was her 12th consecutive World Triathlon Series win and, including the Olympic Test Event in Rio de Janeiro, her 13th consecutive ITU victory. What a way to retain your World Championship title. There are so many statistics for Gwen we could mention, but here are just a few highlights which help put her exceptional performances into context: • Unbeaten in seven WTS starts in 2015. • Recorded the fastest run split in all seven of those races. • The first woman to win the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final twice since its introduction in 2009. • The first U.S. athlete, male or female, to defend the ITU World Triathlon Championship title. • Joins Karen Smyers, (1990 and 1995), as the only U.S. athlete to be crowned ITU World Triathlon Champion on two occasions. • The most career World Triathlon Series wins (15). • The most career World Triathlon Series podium finishes (18), achieved from 31 starts. • Only the fourth woman (joining Michellie Jones, Emma Snowsill and Emma Moffatt), to win back-to-back ITU World Championship titles. With the Rio 2016 Olympic Games less than one year away, Gwen Jorgensen will surely start next year as the clear favourite to add Olympic Gold to her two World Championship titles. Joining Gwen in Rio next summer, courtesy of second and third place respectively in Chicago, are British athletes Non Stanford and Vicky Holland. They both achieved the exceptionally tough British Olympic selection criteria of top-three finishes in both the Rio Test event and the Chicago Grand Final. The podium positions in both of those events were filled by the same three athletes in the same order – will that prove an omen for the Olympic Games itself next August? Holland (fourth) and Stanford (eighth) both made the top ten in the final 2015 Columbia Threadneedle Rankings courtesy of their Chicago points, despite only having five scoring races from the season. They are...

Gomez fulfills drive for five World Titles

Javier Gomez Noya (ESP) became the most successful man in ITU World Championship history when he completed a drive for five world titles as the overall winner of the World Triathlon Series with a second-place finish at the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago. “I think it is great. I can’t understand it yet, I sometimes can’t comprehend doing something like that in the last few years. It is just amazing,” Gomez said on collecting his fifth title. “Today I felt good, I had a great race. I felt really good on the race, I just couldn’t beat Mario—he was just too strong. But I am really pleased on getting the title and on the podium.” Compatriot Mario Mola gave Gomez a tough battle as the two went back and forth across the 10km run, with Mola kicking into overdrive the last 100 metres to take the win in Chicago and finish second overall in the Columbia Threadneedle Rankings. Despite trailing the majority of the race, Richard Murray (RSA) pulled himself into third with an incredible performance while Vincent Luis (FRA) finished fifth in the race for an overall third-place ranking in the Rankings. “I think I have just done one of the best races of my life,” said Mola on his win. “The feeling is amazing. Just to be able to run with Javi at the end, I hope the people enjoyed that as much as we did. It was an unbelievable race.” It was Aquathlon World Champ Richard Varga (SVK) that got the day started when he grinded out a two-body length lead in the swim. Jonathan Brownlee (GBR) and Aaron Royle (AUS) joined Varga as one of the first athletes out of the water, which gave them a fleeting lead over reigning champion Gomez, who was stuck in a chase pack 14 seconds back for the first lap. But Gomez wouldn’t let anything come in the way of his fifth world title, and he shut any chance of the leaders staying away by catching them and taking his turn pulling a nearly-30 man pack along by the second lap. All of the heavy pre-race favorites pedaled away in the front including Luis and Mola. Murray didn’t have as much luck catching the front end of the bike as quickly as Gomez, as he sat a minute back after the second of eight bike laps. While the front pack worked well together with several men taking turns dragging the large peloton along including Royle, Ben Kanute (USA), Sven Reiderer (SUI) and Joe Maloy (USA), they couldn’t keep their advantage throughout the bike. The hungry and bike savvy South African put his head down and...

Jorgensen crowned back-to-back World Champion

USA’s Gwen Jorgensen was crowned royalty on Friday for a second time after winning her 12th straight race at the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Series Grand Final Chicago, completing a perfect undefeated WTS season. After winning in true Jorgensen fashion by blasting away in the final 2.5 kilometres of the run, she earned the World Champion title with a perfect score of 5200 points in the Columbia Threadneedles Rankings. “This is just crazy, I never thought I would be unbeaten this season, to be able to perform on so many different days when I am not feeling, hilly courses, it just doesn’t seem real, ” said Jorgensen. Great Britain compatriots Non Stanford and Vicky Holland joined Jorgensen on the Grand Final podium after pushing to stick with the World Champion for three out of the four run laps. But earning the silver medal for Stanford and the bronze for Holland is the equivalent of earning gold, as they both earned their National Federation’s requirements to join the British Olympic team for the 2016 Rio Games. “Absolutely, it is really really tough, so to say I haven’t been sweating over it for the last few weeks would be an understatement. I tried to play it down, but I was in a massive amount of stress and now that it is done I am quite relieved that we got both places on the team for the Olympics,” said Stanford on completing the tough Olympic qualification process. Holland added on making the Olympic team, “That is what I absolutely came here to do today. You never want to enter a race not wanting to win, but with that said for me getting on the podium today is a win.” As the last stop in the 2015 WTS season, the Series podium was also announced. Andrea Hewitt (NZL) put together a consistent swim and bike and hammered home on the run to finish in fourth place in the race, which boosted her Series points enough to place her second overall in the CT Rankings. Sarah True (USA) finished seventh in the day, but remained on the Series podium in third. Lake Michigan welcomed the elite woman with a wetsuit swim that made for a strong two-lap 1500 metre swim. Carolina Routier (ESP) set out with intention at the Grand Final, making sure to set the tone of the day, which was all about pushing max watts in the hunt for the World Championship podium. Looking to keep their positions in the Columbia Threadneedle Rankings, USA’s Katie Zaferes and Sarah True positioned themselves at the front of the pack along with the likes of Emma Moffatt...

Messias scores Brazil its first-ever Junior World Title

When thunderstorms caused the men’s 2015 ITU World Championship men’s junior race to be delayed and shifted to a duathlon, Manoel Messias (BRA) seized the opportunity to strike hot, scoring his first world title in Chicago. The title is the first time Brazil was represented on the top of the podium at the Junior World Championship race. In a feisty battle down the finish cute, Messias shot past Germany’s Peer Sonksen and France’s Leo Bergere, who took second and third, respectively. When the course changed from a sprint triathlon to a two-lap 5km run, four-lap 20km bike and one-lap 2.5km run, more than 65 men started their hunt for one world title in front of Buckingham Fountain. The wide, flat streets created the opportunity for a large chunk of the field to run together in the first discipline of the race. More than 20 men came into the first transition within five second of each other headed up by Spain’s Roberto Sanchez Mantecon. The group also included eventual winner Messias, as well as second and third place finishers Peer Sonksen and Leo Bergere. Sanchez set about powering out of transition to create some distance over the field. Together with Bergere, Gustav Iden (NOR), Tayler Reid (NZL) and Max Studer (SUI), the men managed to drop nearly half of the pack early on the bike for a 14-front group. While Reid attempted to go off the front a number of times, his attacks were short lived as the group shot back up to him every time. Coming off the four-lap bike, the Junior had just one lap back out on Columbus Street before the world title would be decided. It was a decisive lap as many of the racers fell off a blistering pace. Coming around the Fountain for the final time, it looked like Sonksen would be crowned the fastest man of the day, but Messias managed to kick up his velocity in the final metres, scorching past the German just in time to claim the top honours with a roaring scream. Sonksen and Bergere both joined Messias in rounding out the top three for their first World Championship podiums.

Elites and paratriathletes speak with Grand Final media

The 2015 World Triathlon Series has been fast and historical, and as the Chicago Grand Final gets underway with the paratriathlon and elite races on Friday and Saturday, the Series finale will most likely be one that the triathlon world will never forget. But before all the action-packed racing begins, some of the star paratriathletes and elites sat down with some media to chat about the season and the World Champion event to come. Mario Mola What can you contribute the Spanish team success to? “I don’t really know, but of course hard work. I think one of the main things is at least for the young athletes like me, I can follow the great athletes and have them very close. I think for any athlete who is starting, who is trying to be as good as the elites are, it is great to have them close. Which is one thing that I think has changed going into the next Olympics, having someone like Javier, if you want to be like him, you can expect to follow things that he does as best as we can. And he is human, so why not try to be as good as he is?” Talk about the technical #WTSChicago course “If you look at the course profile, it doesn’t look any different to a flat person, but those 180 degree turns lap after lap make a huge impact on the bike and then on the beginning of the run. So we will try to be as smooth as we can on the course and use less energy. We know that it is going to happen, but we have to beat it.” Gwen Jorgensen On the commitment being away from home for so long to train… “Well I think a big thing that Jamie has taught me is that we say it is not a sacrifice, but an investment in our future. In 2012 I sat down after the London Games with my husband and we decided what we can do to change. We saw that people were investing in daily performance environments, so we researched some training environments and found Jamie Turner and the Wollongong Wizards, so that is when I switched and started training with them. We leave December 31st and don’t come back, I mean this week is my first week back on U.S. soil since 2014. So it is good to be back.” On not taking anything for granted this season, despite so many victories… “I was extremely nervous going into the Rio Test Event. It was something that I had been working towards since London in 2012. So at the beginning of this year, we knew that that race was going to be the trial for Team USA to get to the Olympics so I told my coach and husband that ‘look if I don’t do anything...

Columbia Threadneedle Rankings Report Chicago

In this special edition we preview the 2015 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago, and also look back on some highlights of the season so far, brought to you by Columbia Threadneedle. Women’s Preview We have to start with Gwen Jorgensen. As the defending ITU World Champion, Gwen has already proven her quality – but in 2015 she has taken that to a new level. Six World Triathlon Series starts and six wins mean that she has now won her last eleven World Triathlon Series events. Winning the 2016 Olympic Test Event in Rio de Janeiro too, that’s twelve consecutive victories since her third place finish in Cape Town last year. Brought up in Saint Paul, Minnesota, the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago represents almost a ‘home’ race for Gwen to complete her 2015 season. It’s no surprise to find that Gwen has set the fastest run split in every World Triathlon Series event she has raced in during 2015; the challenge for her opposition is that she is now performing exceptionally well in the swim and on the bike too. She also owns the three largest winning margins of the year – male or female – her Olympic distance victories in Auckland, Gold Coast and Yokohama all seeing her reach the finish line more than one minute clear of second place. Those statistics might lead one to logically assume that Gwen would have a huge lead in the Columbia Threadneedle Rankings, but that doesn’t take into account that fellow U.S. athlete Katie Zaferes has herself had a brilliant season. With five second place finishes, could Zaferes still become World Champion herself? We’ll look at that prospect shortly. While Zaferes holds second place overall in the rankings, she still has to crack the top step of a World Triathlon Series podium. That is something only another U.S. athlete, Sarah True (Stockholm), and Great Britain’s Vicky Holland (Cape Town and Edmonton), have managed this season. By contrast, the nine men’s events have seen six different race winners. In order to assess how the results from the ITU World Triathlon Grand Final Chicago will impact the final Columbia Threadneedle Rankings and determine the 2015 ITU World Championship medallists, you can review different impacts using this podium simulator: Let’s pick a few scenarios from this: • If Gwen Jorgensen finishes in the top four positions in Chicago, she will retain the ITU World Championship title, irrespective of any other results. • Were Katie Zaferes to win in Chicago, she...

Weihai (China) hosted the Level 2 Technical Officials Seminar

The ITU level 2 Technical officials Seminar took place in Weihai, China before the Weihai ITU Long Distance Triathlon Series. The seminar comprises the sessions of the theory and practice of officiating at the ITU events. The seminar provide opportunities for the candidates to update 2015 ITU competition rules and reinforce ITOs officiating skills. Two passionate facilitators, David Hoong from Singapore and Rachel Ribo from Philippines, conducted their presentation professionally by focusing on more practical issues to share their knowledge and experience with 18 ITOs from 4 countries (China, Singapore, Malaysia and Estonia) . The facilitators adopted creative role-play in the practical sessions. The role play made participants more active in joyful mood the facilitators created David and Rachel expressed their appreciation to participants who showed their eagerness for learning more from the facilitators and did their best in the seminar sessions. “Officiating in triathlon events is all about team work and cooperation with colleagues from different countries. So Rachel and I divided participants into 4 groups considering gender and nationalities carefully. I think it helped us communicate better with participants.” said David Hoong. “We had good opportunities to update ITU competition rules and Event Organizer’s Manual before the Weihai ITU Long Distance Triathlon Series this weekend. We really enjoyed the seminar and learned a lot. Even if many of Chinese ITOs’ English was limited, we could manage to communicate well in group workout with other participants from other countries.” said Wang, Zhiqiang, participant from China Ki Woo-Kyong, ASTC Development Coordinator, said “It is very meaningful for us to have Level 2 TO Seminar in Weihai to boost our sport development in China. As we all know, China with world biggest population and 2nd biggest economy in the world is speeding up the development of our sport. We are expecting more ITU events will be held in China in near future. This seminar will upgrade not only ITU events but also domestic events in China.” Next ITU Development project is the Level 3 Technical Officials Seminar to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 13th to 15th November for the highest level TOs from both continents Asia and Oceania.
