AMERICAN GROFF TAKES TOP SPOT FOR THE FIRST TIME

ITU World Triathlon Series – Stockholm

 

American Sarah Groff took top spot today in Stockholm (1:03:00) ahead of a New Zealand second and third from Andrea Hewitt (1:03:04) and Nicky Samuels (1:03:05).  This was Groff’s first ITU title.  Jodie Stimpson who was the podium favourite, especially with series leader Gwen Jorgenson planned absence, could only manage 16th place (1:04:21) as she dropped 33 seconds on the swim and 35 seconds on the bike to race winner Groff.

The triathlon circus moves on to Edmonton Canada this coming weekend for the Grand Final.
