Despite losing his lead in the World Triathlon Series Ranking, Noya has proven today to be recovered and in excellent shape in the test held today in this Swiss town.

On a sprint distance circuit, Noya has remained at the head of the race, fighting until the last meters of the running race for the first place on the podium.

Finally, the younger of the Brownlee brothers, Jonathan, gave the final push in the last few meters, reaching the finish line in first position with a total time of 00:52:23 and thus taking the title of World Champion, just 5 seconds ahead of the Spaniard Javier Gómez Noya, 00:52:27. Alistair completed the last podium with a time of 00:52:38.

Another Spaniard, Fernando Alarza, remained in the TOP 20 of the best in the world, 00:53:27 fully recovered from his collarbone injury, which did not allow him to participate in the Madrid World Series event. Mario Mola He came in at position 52, 00:55:15.

Shortly before reaching T2 they were caught by the second group, 30 triathletes leaving this transition to begin the last segment of the running race.

Noya, the Brownlee brothers, Riederer and Brukhankov quickly marked the distance, creating a first group, which quickly divided again, leaving Noya and Jonathan Brownlee in first and second position.

Noya was quickly in front of the youngest of the Brownlee brothers, but Jonathan did not get away from him and finally gave one last pull, passing Gómez Noya and thus leading the race.

In a record running time, in which Jonathan completed the 5 km in only 14:24 seconds, 40 seconds less than the previous year, the Briton was proclaimed World Champion in this distance.

After this appointment, Noya has given up his lead in the World Series to Alistair Brownlee, with 3085 points, followed by Jonathan with 2965 points and Noya in third position, 2858.
