The third position in the Grand Final of the World Triathlon Series that took place this Saturday in Rotterdam, was enough for mathematically Mario Mola to proclaim himself the 2017 triathlon world champion.

 The Mallorcan revalidates in this way the title he has already won at 2016 and consolidates himself as the most regular triathlete in the world, having won four times this year in different races of the circuit and demonstrating maximum combativity both in sprint and Olympic distance.

"It sounds very good to hear that I am world champion again "he confessed smiling at the end. "I knew that today I had my options to achieve it thanks to the points I had added. I was in good condition to get the title, just like it happened a year ago, and I did it".

 "It was not an easy race, but I felt good in the water and then I was able to shoot with the first group, "he explained.r.

"The two years have been hard. I would not say that this has been more for defending the title. I have great rivals. I think that today Javi (for Gomez Noya) did, without going any further, a huge performance a week after proclaiming himself world champion of medium distance. He is a great example for me and I feel very fortunate to have him as a companion and to continue learning".

Mario Mola this year he added victories in the World Triathlon Series of Gold Coast, Yokohama, Hamburg and Edmonton, being the triathlete who has climbed to the top of the podium the most times.

His season, anyway, is not over yet. Next week will be one of the great protagonists of the Super League of Triathlon that celebrates his second test of this 2017.
