Flora Duffy Wins World Triathlon Stockholm
Bermuda’s Flora Duffy won the Vattenfall World Triathlon Stockholm in Sweden today [July 2], with her gold medal win cementing her spot as the current reigning leader in the Columbia Threadneedle rankings.
Speaking on earning her first WTS gold, Duffy said, “I have been trying and trying to win one of these and today when I was out there on the front of the bike I had no idea how it was going to play out. But I got off and felt strong on the run and just ran as best as I could. But obviously it is a bit scary with Helen and Andrea chasing me.”
“I managed to ride a bit more controlled today, I have learned from Leeds. It is so much more technical here and that is my strength, so I just tried to gain as much time as I could in the technical sections and then ride smooth for any straightaways.
“It was just how it worked out to ride solo. I came out of the swim with a few girls and I was hoping they would come up behind on my wheel but they didn’t and then I was in no-mans land, so there was times where I was questioning what I was doing out there, but I just stuck to my plan and it worked out today.”
Well done!
Doing BDA proud.
