2018 Beijing International Triathlon

Great Britain’s Jonathan Brownlee and Australia’s Ashleigh Gentle claimed the victories at the seventh running of the Beijing International Triathlon in China.

Brownlee put together a 17:18 swim, a 57:31 bike, and a 32:52 run to claim the win in 1:51:37. Norway’s Kristian Blummenfelt finished second just nine seconds later, with South Africa’s Henri Schoeman rounding out the podium 12 seconds after that.

“Oh I have missed that feeling,” Brownlee—who’s had a tough year—wrote on Twitter. “Nice to feel good in a race and to win the @Beijing_Tri this morning.”

Gentle’s day was made up of a 19:34 swim, a 1:04:29 bike, and a 37:35 run to take the victory in a convincing 2:05:55. Great Britain’s Non Stanford finished in the runner-up spot at 2:07:52, with fellow Brit Lucy Hall claiming third in 2:09:12.
