Today the penultimate event of the Triathlon World Series has been held where Mario Mola arrives as world leader in the Grand Final. After the women's event, it was held yesterday where Vicky Holland got her third victory this year, Katie Zaferes continues to lead the world championship, although she is only 34 points ahead of Holland. This same afternoon we learned that Fernando Alarza would not participate in the event due to to a bronchitis that has not subsided and finally has not allowed him to compete, leaving the "Triarmada" with 4 participants: Mario Mola, Vicente Hernández, Antonio Serrat and Cesc Godoy.

Mola has also achieved two consecutive victories over sprint distance in Edmonton and Hamburg. As for the favorites, the absence of Vicent Luis, second in the Jonathan Brownlee Ranking, Richard Varga, among others, who has chosen to reserve himself for the Grand Final, stood out. The first to come out of the water was the South African Henri Schoeman, where he had to stop at some point of the 1,5 km to wait for the group since he was not interested in going out alone on the bike. Seth Rider started 4 seconds away and the group followed 11 seconds later with Cesc Godoy fourth, Antonio Serrat 15th to 22nd, Vicente Hernández 19th 26th and Mario Mola 20th to 27th.

Vicente Hernández had to retire as he had a puncture on both wheels. The rest of the Spaniards got out to run with the chasing group. In the 10 kilometers of the running sector, we saw how the Norwegian Kristian Blummenfelt went ahead fighting to get a win in a WTS. In the group behind Mario Mola, Richard Murray and Jacob Birtwhistle left in search of the podium positions. Little by little Mario was moving away from his pursuers and cutting time on the Norwegian, going to 40 seconds in the 1st lap, to 20 in the second step and only 9 in the third. Finally, Mario Mola caught up with him with 1 kilometer to go, surpassing him and leaving alone to achieve the final victory in a time of 1:47:35. Kristian Blummenfelt (01:48:02) was second while Jacob Birtwhistle (1:48:28) was third. Meta video Congratulations, @mariomola!
