In this way, the female elite test gave us the first medal of the day in the elite competitions, after achieving the silver medal.

In the elite male event, the eyes were focused on the current European Champion, the Huelva-born Emilio Martín. Both he and sub 23 Javier Martín have remained in the top group in the 1 rider on foot, but since the beginning of cycling Javier has lost that first group. When they have taken the bike an English duathlet has jumped, but finally they have caught him and he has also contacted Javier's group from behind. But in the absence of a round and a half have leapt Benoit and Emilio, and have left alone.

The race on foot has been a heads-up between the two duathletes, and both Spanish and French have fought to the end for gold.
