After the WTS of Edmonton, Mario Mola leads the world ranking with 3.664 points, followed by Fernando Alarza with 3.172 and Javier Gómez Noya with 2.990.

Mario Mola is the current world leader, thanks to his last two triumphs in Hamburg y Edmonton. Mola is the main favorite to repeat the title of last year, but 2 WTS are still missing and the Grand Final of Rotterdarm where Fernando Alarza y Javier Gómez Noya They will also try to fight for the World Championship.

What arguments have Fernando Alarza and Javier Gómez Noya to be world champions?

The next 3 appointments of the WTS are in Olympic distance and there they have more options than in the past Sprint distance competitions, where the Mallorcan Mario Mola is the big favorite after 2 wins this year and 6 throughout his career, becoming the triathlete with the most victories in this distance in the WTS.

The manchego Fernando Alarza is current world bronze and this year he is struggling to overcome that position. He arrived in Hamburg world leader, But fall by bike it made him have to abandon and lose the options to defend his leadership.

This year Fernando has competed in the three WTS Olympic distance (Abu Dhabi, Yokohama and Leeds) where he has achieved in all the best partial walking race. Mola is intractable in the late 5km of the "spints" and the talaverano has been the only one that has run faster than the Balearic this year ... always in olympic distance.

As regards Galician Javier Gómez Noya has history in its favor, with 5 world titlesit's the best Olympic distance triathlete of all times. Javi has disputed 111 ITU tests, has only left in 5, achieving 42 wins and 77 podiums.

However if we focus only on Olympic distance, the data of Javi are even more impressive, since they are 89 the times that Noya has competed in the distance "queen" of tests with drafting obtaining 41 wins, that is, vin almost 50% of the Olympic distance races he disputed.

 In Triathlon News, we have the "heart departed" and we wish the best to the three Spaniards who command the general classification of the WTS: "May the best win".
