Noya regains the first place in the World Series

The fourth round of the world triathlon series was held in Hamburg, after an exciting sprint the Australian Brad Kahlefeldt managed to reach the finish line in first position

Six triathletes have competed for first place on the podium until practically reaching the finish line, among them the Spanish and current world champion, Javier Gómez Noya. With a time of 01:44:19, Noya reached the finish line in sixth position, just a few seconds behind the first place finisher, thus recovering the first position in the World Series with a total of 2026 points, followed by Englishman William Clarke , 1935 points and the Frenchman David Hauss, with 1905 points.

In one of the most exciting races of the season, in which the top four finishers have managed to complete the final 10 km in less than 30 minutes, the Australian Brad Kahlefeldt with a time of 01:44:08 has won gold, followed from the Englishman, William Clarke, 01:44:09 and from the Frenchman David Hauss, 01:44:09.

In the last three kilometers, just before reaching the finish line, Gómez Noya tried to force the race to reach the finish line first, but William Clarke remained glued to his heels, giving him no option to make a breakaway, and he was in the last kilometer where Kahlefeldt, Hauss and Clarke formed a leading group that carried the excitement until the final arc.

For his part, the German and current champion of the Athens 2008 Olympic Games, Jan Frodeno, did a good cycling segment, but had problems with the bike on the last lap, and this put him two minutes behind the leading group, which took away any chance of a podium finish. Despite this, he finished the race in 43rd place. Among the Spaniards we could count on the presence of Iván Raña, 34 and Mario Mola, 46.
