AUCKLAND, Oct 20: Olympic silver medallist Lisa Norden of Sweden overcame serious food poisoning to finish fourth in the grand final of the Triathlon World Series and claim the women’s world championships for the first time.
Anne Haug of Germany won the final leg of the eight-race series, surging away from the leading group on the last lap of the 10-kilometre run which followed a 1.5 kilometre swim and 40 kilometre cycle leg around downtown Auckland.
Gwen Jorgensen of the United States finished second, producing an outstanding run after finishing the cycle leg more than a minute down on the leaders, while Barbara Riveros of Chile was third.—AP
