After Canadian Tyler Mislawchuk, Norway's Casper Stornes and New Zealand's Hayden Wilde left their closest rivals 30 seconds into the approach of the blue arrival rug. Who has the leftmost in the tank?
After leading much of the final 10 km wind race, he only needed a few drops of energy and fainted first. Stornes, who was the surprise of his first and only win at the WTS two seasons ago in Bermuda, lost his fierce hold in the lead just 100 meters from the end. That's how Mislawchuk, who won his first WTS podium in June with a 3rd place finish in Montreal, made his big breakthrough at the Olympic test event in Tokyo.
After a 30:27 tie, Mislawchuk finished the Olympic distance contest in 1:49:51, giving him a 4 second margin of victory over Stornes (30:27) and 12 seconds over 3 places Hayden Wilde from New Zealand (3rd best race 30:36).
"Hayden and I played in first place all along the course," said Mislawchuk during a streaming interview after the race on Triathlon Live TV. "We knew we were three for the medals, and when the sprint started, I wanted it more than anything, I thought I might never have the chance to win such a race, I have to go now. . "
Stornes was not discouraged by his loss. "It means a lot since I've got a [bad] season and did not score enough points for Olympic qualification. [Fellow Norwegians] Gustav [Iden] and Kristian [Blummenfelt] have already participated. It was really nice to come back and show that I am able to get on the podium of the Olympic course. "
Wilde was delighted with his arrival. "With about 1500 meters to go, I pushed to try to put the boys in the box. But it did not work. Absolutely delighted to have a podium. "
While four of the men at the top of the WTS 2019 standings – Vincent Luis of France and Mario Mola, Javier Gomez and Fernando Alarza of Spain – have skipped this event to prepare for the Grand Final for the WTS World Championship start September, the rest of the Tokyo field was strong.
Henri Schoeman of South Africa led the swim in rough waters with a division of 18:26 which gave him a lead over the best possible contenders. The Briton Jonny Brownlee (5 seconds), 9 seconds on Mislawchuk, 19 seconds on Kristian Blummenfelt, Norway, 27 seconds on Stornes, 56 seconds on Wilde and 1:02 on Jacob Birtwhistle of Australia.
After Tom Bishop of Great Britain tried to make a short breakaway on the narrow technical bike course, the race turned into a 35-bike traffic jam separated by only 10 seconds. Bishops Blummenfelt, Pierre Corre de France, Matt Sharpe of Canada, Wilde, Mislawchuk, Jonas Schomburg of Germany, Schoeman, Stornes, Jelle Geens of Belgium, Jonny Brownlee and Martin Van Riel of Belgium.
On lap 7 of 8 on the 40-kilometer bike, Blummenfelt and Van Riel crashed into a tight bend. Blummenfelt could not continue. While Van Riel returned to the fray, he never regained the upper hand.
Approaching T2, Wilde headed forward, followed closely by Mislawchuk, Jelle Gens, Schomburg, Stornes, Iden, Schoeman, and Birtwhistle, while Jonny Brownlee was 15th, 4 seconds behind.
Starting from the race, Geens took first place, followed closely by Mislawchuk and Schomburg, followed by Wilde and Brownlee at 30 meters. Halfway through the first 2.5-kilometer round, Mislawchuk turned a corner, followed closely by Wilde, Stornes and Schomburg, with Brownlee, Schoeman, Iden and Geens in a group of hunters 30 meters behind. . At the end of the second round, the final podium contenders – Mislawchuk, Wilde and Stornes – took their place at the front.
