World Triathlon

The rain came down on the 2204 World Triathlon Para Series Montreal on Saturday morning, but it did little to dampen the performances of the best in the world as the likes of Alexis Hanquinquant and Thibaut Rigeadeau of France, Spain’s Susana Rodriguez (B1) and Canada’s Kamylle Frenette won golds.The race would be the last chance for the qualification points to hit the rankings top 9 and guaranteed start slots for Paris 2024 and, further down the rankings, there was a huge win for Italy’s Giuseppe Romele H1 to launch him into 7th in the men’s PTWC qualification, and Brazil’s Leticia Freitas B1 climbed into 8th place in the women’s PTVI rankings despite narrowly missing the podium after Chloe MacCombe B3 (IRL) edged a tight sprint finish down the blue carpet.
