Mario Mola fourth and Josemi Pérez cut points to Raña in the struggle to participate in the London Olympics

Cuenca triathlete Josemi Pérez finished fifteenth in the Triathlon World Cup event held in Mooloolaba, Australia. This test is the starting signal for the final qualifying section for the London 2012 Olympic Games. With his 15th position, Pérez has cut 168 points in the classification from Iván Raña who has finished in 37th place and who is his main rival for participate in the most important competition held.

The third in contention, Mario Mola, has put in a great performance and has finished in 4th place, closing the difference in points with the triathlete from Cuenca. The test was awarded to the Frenchman Laurent Vidal, who won the last sprint over the local Brad Kahlefeldt, the American David Hauss and Mola himself.

Great result, therefore, for José Miguel Pérez, who sent a message of gratitude from Australia at the end of the race and said “thank you to those who followed the race, I felt your encouragement from Australia. Thank you". The man from Cuenca pointed out that “the race had an added point of hardness due to the heat, which has given the 10 kilometer run on foot a more agonizing point.” Of course, José Miguel Pérez ended up happy for closing the gap on Iván Raña and “happy with the race, a good swim and a bike to endure. We hope we go further and give you more joy.”
