London

:00:22. > :00:31.Welcome to London's Hyde Park the climax of the 2013 World

:00:31. > :00:35.Triathlon Series. After seven races across four continents, the battle

:00:35. > :00:41.to become this year's world champion has come down to the wire and still

:00:41. > :00:46.two Brits in with the chance to take the title, Non Stanford and Jodie

:00:46. > :00:51.Stimpson. Here is how things stand ahead of this year's Grand Final.

:00:51. > :00:53.Assistant podium performances means there is just 13 points dividing the

:00:53. > :01:03.top three women. It is really winner takes all.

:01:03. > :01:09.Whoever crosses the line first becomes a world champion. It is the

:01:09. > :01:14.top four results of the season that count towards these rankings and

:01:14. > :01:19.Jodie Stimpson's was weakened in Stockholm. She needs to win in

:01:19. > :01:25.London and hope the top three women finished third or lower.

:01:25. > :01:42.Very close and the Brits have a lot of support in the crowd. Let us hear

:01:42. > :01:50.from the women. I glad to be back in London in 2011. -- I am glad to be

:01:50. > :01:56.back in London in 2011, some humbling experiences, and I changed

:01:56. > :02:01.my career completely again, switched coaches, and it has been working out

:02:01. > :02:06.well. I am going up against two girls that will be tough to beat,

:02:06. > :02:11.excited to go out there, their tactics are the same, swim to your

:02:11. > :02:17.best, cycled to the best and run with everything you have. I am

:02:17. > :02:25.looking forward to finish the season with a medal would be nice, yeah,

:02:25. > :02:29.and I have fought for so long, and it is the final and I want to make

:02:29. > :02:41.it and I will be glad when it is over. It is a flat course. She was a

:02:41. > :02:46.flat running girl. I think she is the favourite. Number one at the

:02:46. > :02:51.moment. I would put my money on her. I do not have a plan, just go out,

:02:51. > :03:05.give it everything and see what happens. People say I am an

:03:05. > :03:11.overnight success, but it has taken a lot, lots of training, surrounded

:03:11. > :03:16.by people, not an overnight success, just so happened that all that hard

:03:16. > :03:24.work came of this year. All the races this year came down to the

:03:24. > :03:28.run. I have to be prepared for that. When was doing well in Stockholm,

:03:28. > :03:38.but I ran faster than harm in Madrid. -- Gwen was doing well. Do

:03:38. > :03:44.not write me off yet. London is weird I want to perform, home soil.

:03:44. > :03:53.Racing at home, you cannot put it into words. You have to race as hard

:03:53. > :04:00.as you can. Lots of fast swimmers in the field, lots of cyclists, and the

:04:00. > :04:06.runners, Gwen Jorgensen, Non Stanford, Anne Haug, I will have to

:04:06. > :04:11.try and keep up. The girls are ready, which means it

:04:11. > :04:18.is race time, time to join the commentary team.

:04:18. > :04:32.Went -- welcome to us all day and for gay Grand Final. -- foggy.

:04:33. > :04:37.They will go on to the bait for seven laps after two laps of a swim,

:04:38. > :04:46.out of the park, down Constitution Hill, around the Victoria Memorial

:04:46. > :04:55.before heading back up the hill and back into the park, completing seven

:04:55. > :05:00.5.7 laps on two wheels. Then the run course, different from the Olympic

:05:00. > :05:08.course, three laps this time, 33.3 kilometre laps, bringing up the ten

:05:08. > :05:14.kilometre to round up the rays. The final of the World Triathlon Series

:05:14. > :05:23.2013, ready to dive into the Serpentine, and away they go. A 1.5

:05:23. > :05:29.kilometre swim, important to find some clear water to avoid contact

:05:29. > :05:36.with your competitors. It can be dangerous, some getting bumped, some

:05:36. > :05:42.left behind slightly. We expect the strongest swimmers to surge forward

:05:42. > :05:46.in the early stages. It is so important to get clear water in the

:05:46. > :05:54.early stages of the swim, not least because the first buoy comes at 250

:05:54. > :06:00.metres, and you want to be out of that washing machine effect before

:06:00. > :06:03.you head that first one. I called 12.5 degrees, the water

:06:03. > :06:10.temperature, forcing athletes to wear wet suits. Already seeing

:06:10. > :06:20.Andrea Hewitt setting the pace, Non Stanford, and others making the

:06:20. > :06:25.break towards the middle. We will start to see and arrowhead form,

:06:25. > :06:29.with the helicopter shot, and some good crowds out on this soggy

:06:29. > :06:35.morning. The strongest swimmers now starting to dominate heading towards

:06:35. > :06:41.the first turned up by the Serpentine Bridge, which divides

:06:41. > :06:45.this lake in two. We could see the likes of Pamela Oliveira from

:06:45. > :06:51.Brazil, a frequent first place an issue in the swimming. Other than

:06:51. > :06:58.Pamela, not many standout swimmers. We know that Lucy had some leads,

:06:58. > :07:03.but to date, we have the likes of Alice Betto, Aileen Reid from

:07:03. > :07:09.Ireland, the kind of swimmers we can Alice Betto, Aileen Reid from

:07:09. > :07:14.see up there with Pamela Oliveira. Looks like number 14, Sarah Groff,

:07:14. > :07:19.leading, the American, sometimes laid down on the run, in enjoying

:07:19. > :07:25.these flat conditions, the flattest Waterbury have had to swim in all

:07:25. > :07:33.season. Things can get choppy out in the ocean. Barely any wind to date.

:07:33. > :07:40.Sarah Groff from the United States of America is doing very well. Very

:07:40. > :07:44.comfortable in London. That fantastic race last year at the

:07:44. > :07:52.Olympics, and issuing forth, and a very strong swimmer. Slightly below

:07:52. > :07:55.par season for Sarah, but let us see what you can do in London, very

:07:55. > :08:03.comfortable on this course, knows it well. Non Stanford missed quite a

:08:03. > :08:07.lot of swimming time and training following her crash in Hamburg,

:08:07. > :08:13.resulting in a broken arm. Only able to swim with one arm, now back to

:08:13. > :08:18.full training, and being a little left behind, and a blistering start

:08:18. > :08:22.as Sarah Groff heads the first turned with clear water between her

:08:22. > :08:27.and the next best, then things turning interesting, you do not want

:08:27. > :08:33.to get next to that inflatable yellow buoy, you can get duck tough

:08:33. > :08:38.underneath it, sometimes there can be some argy-bargy going on, and

:08:38. > :08:43.heading south for a few metres before turning and swimming back

:08:43. > :08:50.towards the start. They will exit the water and dived back in for the

:08:50. > :08:55.second lap, good fast times so far. In the junior race, the under 23

:08:55. > :08:58.race on Friday, some very strong swimming, and looking for around

:08:58. > :09:05.about 18 minutes for this 1500 metres swim. At the halfway point,

:09:05. > :09:12.swimmers exiting around about nine or possibly just under nine minutes.

:09:12. > :09:16.Sarah Groff now has some company at the front, Aileen Reid starting to

:09:16. > :09:24.make a move. There are three in fact. One more short term to make.

:09:24. > :09:32.They will come out of the water, run left, back along the pontoon and

:09:32. > :09:38.dived back in for lap two. Feel a significant break now, about 20

:09:38. > :09:42.swimmers away, then a gap of about ten meters. At this early stage,

:09:42. > :09:47.that is normally pretty significant, and we can see that lead extend,

:09:47. > :09:53.important that there is a small group going out on the bike. Let us

:09:53. > :09:59.see if it contains Gwen Jorgensen, because if she wins today, she takes

:09:59. > :10:04.the overall title. Non Stanford wins, she will be world champion, as

:10:04. > :10:09.would Gwen Jorgensen. And if Anne Haug Germany wins, she will also be

:10:09. > :10:21.world champion. Emma Moffatt officially first. Sarah Groff

:10:21. > :10:31.demoted to third. Jodie Stimpson is out intent. Gwen Jorgensen just

:10:31. > :10:36.behind her. -- out in tenth. We are keeping an eye out on the union

:10:36. > :10:47.flags. Natalie Milne in 1900 back row, still no sign of Non Stanford.

:10:47. > :10:57.Now in 24th position. Work to do for those in that 22nd behind group. The

:10:57. > :11:05.hope to close some ground now. And now to pick up the bikes after that.

:11:05. > :11:13.Quite well spread. It is. Did not notice Anne Haug coming out there.

:11:13. > :11:18.Getting some shots of Emma Moffatt exiting the first lap, no surprise

:11:18. > :11:25.as she is a strong swimmer. And things starting to unfold at the end

:11:25. > :11:33.of the swim. The swimmers begin to think about the exit of the water

:11:33. > :11:39.and the job to transition where the bikes are part. This is the best

:11:39. > :11:45.swim I have seen from Emma Moffatt. A good result in Yokohama, second

:11:45. > :11:49.there, third in San Diego. She has been solid without being spectacular

:11:49. > :11:56.this season. I wonder if she has saved her best to last. Telegraph

:11:56. > :12:03.managing to hold onto second position. -- Sarah Groff managing to

:12:03. > :12:05.hold onto second position. You mentioned how great that swimming

:12:05. > :12:09.hold onto second position. You was fought Emma Moffatt. We know she

:12:09. > :12:18.is now being trained by Darren Smith in D squad, and few do not improve

:12:18. > :12:24.going into that. There is always room for improvement. Just join the

:12:24. > :12:32.work that Darren has been doing with her and certainly paying off. Number

:12:32. > :12:37.two, Anne Haug, she has a little bit of work to do. Certainly not looking

:12:37. > :12:44.as easy in the water as Emma Moffatt and Sarah Groff out in front, on her

:12:44. > :12:49.own in the middle of the pack, heading back towards the pontoon for

:12:49. > :12:54.the second time. All on her own, cutting quite a lonely figure, and

:12:54. > :12:59.that is the gap between Haug and up towards the leading group, and

:12:59. > :13:06.another pack there, a significant lead that Sarah Groff and Emma

:13:06. > :13:12.Moffatt have opened up over Anne Haug and she has to work hard,

:13:12. > :13:17.hopefully get some help from one or two of the other Germans as the head

:13:17. > :13:23.onto the bike. You would think the German team managers would have some

:13:23. > :13:27.race tactics out there, knowing that Annie is not the greatest swimmers,

:13:27. > :13:31.and with the chance to take the titles, possibly using the likes of

:13:31. > :13:34.Anja Knapp to wait behind butter and helper on the bike. But we have seen

:13:34. > :13:39.Anja Knapp to wait behind butter and Annie not needing much help stop --

:13:39. > :13:45.weight behind for hard and helper on the bike. Something not quite right

:13:45. > :13:51.for Anne Haug in this stage, third in Stockholm, and the race in

:13:51. > :13:56.Hamburg, which was a sprint distance race, she won that, scenes of

:13:56. > :14:04.celebration in the city of Hamburg that day as Haug came through, the

:14:04. > :14:09.Germans won the relay as well. Known as the quiet assassin. I read an

:14:09. > :14:12.interview and she is meticulous in everything she does on a day-to-day

:14:12. > :14:18.basis, training, nutrition, everything, but not quite getting

:14:18. > :14:24.the swim here today, not quite part of her plan. And the leader going

:14:24. > :14:26.round that third buoy now on the second lap of this 1500 metre

:14:26. > :14:31.course, the field stretching out, second lap of this 1500 metre

:14:31. > :14:38.and around about 12 athletes in that front pack, and if that pack pushes

:14:38. > :14:44.on, there could be a break, which is what you want. The swim almost done,

:14:44. > :14:49.led for most of the second half by Emma Moffatt, Sarah Groff keeping

:14:49. > :14:56.clear of her feet, in second position. The deficit all the way

:14:56. > :15:01.back to Anne Haug is significant. Non Stanford is not too far off the

:15:01. > :15:13.pace, but not with the leaders, and some jostling for position at the

:15:13. > :15:15.next turn. It is rare you see a triathlon so well spread. And

:15:15. > :15:20.anything can happen as they come towards the end of the swim, and

:15:20. > :15:25.then they go from the water to the two wheels, with the bikes parked up

:15:25. > :15:30.seven laps into the park. The roads are closed in central London to

:15:30. > :15:36.allow them to go off and write down Constitution Hill, down to the

:15:36. > :15:44.Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, in front of bird

:15:44. > :15:49.cage walk. It is a repeat of the spectacular Olympic triathlon from

:15:49. > :15:53.August 2012. 18 minutes of fast swim for these women this morning, very

:15:53. > :15:57.fast indeed, the flat water helping them. Emma Moffat will be first to

:15:58. > :16:02.Exeter water. Sarah Groff, an them. Emma Moffat will be first to

:16:02. > :16:12.excellent swim, she led the first lap dash to except the water. Sarah

:16:12. > :16:14.Moffett -- Sarah Moffett, followed by Sarah Groff. A good swim from

:16:14. > :16:34.Jessica Harrison. No sign yet of Non Stanford. There

:16:34. > :16:40.she is. She has made up three seconds from the second lap. 20

:16:40. > :16:44.seconds at the end of lap one. Down to 17 seconds at the end of lap two.

:16:44. > :16:54.A chance for Non Stanford to get involved. Moffett -- my fat -- Sarah

:16:54. > :17:00.Moffett is in the leading group. Various -- there is Jorgensen,

:17:00. > :17:06.Moffett is in the leading group. playing into her hands, this race.

:17:06. > :17:12.Moffett is in the leading group. They have gone from the navy blue to

:17:12. > :17:16.the black, and Stimpson and Stamford will hope to be in the first group.

:17:17. > :17:22.They can't get back onto the bike until they have passed the mounting

:17:22. > :17:26.up line, and some of them having problems with the shoes attached to

:17:26. > :17:38.the pedals, and we might see a big group forming. Katie Hugh Whitson --

:17:38. > :17:51.Katie Hugh listen, swimming a bit behind, but not a bad swim for her

:17:51. > :17:59.on this final race. We'll now ride with the French athlete. Pallant Is

:17:59. > :18:04.going with her. Forcing the pace at the front. She has got some good

:18:04. > :18:08.company. Good cycling talent. We expect a big group to form. Somebody

:18:08. > :18:16.has missed the box with the red -- wet suit. And Non Stanford has not

:18:16. > :18:23.got her wet suit in the box which is an infringement and could result in

:18:23. > :18:25.a penalty. Yes, they know they have to get the wet suit in the box. It

:18:25. > :18:42.is the same for everyone. And how, to get the wet suit in the box. It

:18:42. > :18:47.disastrous swim. She will -- and how Haug hasn't got the wet suit on. Is

:18:47. > :18:50.the gap to significant for her to close? She is in the running to the

:18:50. > :19:00.title. With Stanford having missed the box with the wet suit and Haug

:19:00. > :19:04.so far behind, this plays into Jorgensen's hands. The roads are

:19:04. > :19:10.wet, the likes of Jessica Harrison in the front. She is an attacker and

:19:10. > :19:19.will ride hard into the corners. We can see Haug with not the fastest

:19:19. > :19:24.transition. So close to taking a title, and as yet Germany have not

:19:24. > :19:35.had a woman win the World Championship Series. Sarah Groff is

:19:35. > :19:39.alongside Moffatt, Moffatt there, and Harrison and Sarah Groff forming

:19:39. > :19:46.a leading group of three. We expect a group of maybe a dozen to form

:19:46. > :19:51.quite quickly. I don't see too many of these girls just sitting in,

:19:51. > :19:55.because Jorgensen it has been running a minute faster than every

:19:55. > :19:58.woman in every race, so every lap, they have to work as hard as they

:19:58. > :20:04.can to get rid of her, because if not, it comes down to the run and

:20:04. > :20:09.then it is a foregone conclusion. They are on one of the roads within

:20:09. > :20:12.the park. They Exeter at the grand entrance at Hyde Park Corner before

:20:12. > :20:20.heading under the Wellington art -- they except at the grand entrance.

:20:20. > :20:24.Then they go past the Victoria Memorial. There is the gap. The lead

:20:24. > :20:44.group has two minutes and seconds -- seven seconds off Annie Haug.

:20:45. > :20:49.Groth, Moffatt and Hewison. There. This is where the athletes have to

:20:49. > :20:56.take care that goes the roads are wet. When the rain is a bit damp it

:20:56. > :20:59.makes it more slippery. That was the London home of the Duke of

:20:59. > :21:02.makes it more slippery. That was the Wellington, Asbury house. Now they

:21:02. > :21:07.come towards the Wellington arch. This is normally just a traffic

:21:07. > :21:10.island. All closed off, no traffic today. Under the magnificent

:21:10. > :21:26.Wellington arch, going past the Memorial Gates with the stone

:21:26. > :21:29.pillars. There are the names of the Commonwealth soldiers who have been

:21:29. > :21:36.awarded the George or Victoria Cross. Commonwealth Hill is barely a

:21:36. > :21:43.hill. It dissects Buckingham Palace and Green Park. We have Olivera.

:21:43. > :21:48.Harrison. Jodie Stimpson with the front group as well. Good action so

:21:48. > :21:56.far from Jodie Stimpson, the winner in kits built, third in Madrid, the

:21:56. > :22:02.winner in Yokohama. Stimpson was fifth last time in Stockholm. Down

:22:02. > :22:08.towards Buckingham Palace. Quite quiet down here on this Saturday

:22:08. > :22:12.morning. The Spanish rider very comfortable, seventh in the Olympic

:22:13. > :22:21.Games, one of those athletes who sits in quietly, but also can be a

:22:21. > :22:31.danger on the run. Is that Haug? She has a problem of some kind. This

:22:31. > :22:38.could be the German tactic, as she is looking, waiting a long time,

:22:39. > :22:41.waiting for Annie Haug. Being overtaken by group of six or seven,

:22:41. > :22:47.waiting for Annie Haug. Being doing the right thing by the team,

:22:47. > :22:50.but no sign of her compatriot yet. This is a difficult position. She is

:22:50. > :22:58.wondering if she is out on the water. Do I get on with my own race

:22:58. > :23:03.or wait for her? This was it. This was her wondering and watching with

:23:03. > :23:07.the brakes on. She went on under the Wellington arch but has a long

:23:07. > :23:15.wait, because we know it was two minutes and seven seconds, the gap

:23:15. > :23:18.from the leaders. Haug Is in contention for the title today, but

:23:18. > :23:25.at the moment, things have not gone according to plan. This front group

:23:25. > :23:31.has to work effectively. Six is a fantastic number of the course. If

:23:32. > :23:40.they take the term they can take a lead over the significant pack which

:23:40. > :23:44.includes Gwen Jorgensen. We will get these terrific pictures still. Jodie

:23:44. > :23:50.Stimpson is in fourth. She has an outside chance of taking the world

:23:50. > :23:53.triathlon series title, but it is really Gwen Jorgensen's victory for

:23:53. > :23:59.the taking. Non Stanford will hope to start making a move and getting

:23:59. > :24:03.involved with the front group. The front group has grown considerably.

:24:03. > :24:16.From 15 up to 20 riders. Back Emma front group has grown considerably.

:24:17. > :24:23.-- back-up to Hyde Park Corner. Emma Moffatt taking the lead. We have

:24:23. > :24:27.seen in every race that the bigger the front group, the slower they are

:24:27. > :24:32.probably going to go, so it is hard to get a big pack working properly.

:24:32. > :24:38.As we can see, just over a kilometre between the leaders and Annie Haug.

:24:38. > :24:47.That's a good couple of minutes, and she is a great cyclist and it's not

:24:47. > :24:53.all over yet. We have not got a full look at the pellet on so far. -- the

:24:53. > :25:00.pellet on. Making a move before they look at the pellet on so far. -- the

:25:00. > :25:06.drop past the statue of Achilles. That is a big group, about 20

:25:06. > :25:08.athletes. They will have to be very committed, and they almost need a

:25:08. > :25:14.leader to get them working well in committed, and they almost need a

:25:14. > :25:17.the pack to prevent Annie Haug from writing them down. -- riding them

:25:17. > :25:33.down. She is in a impossible position. No

:25:33. > :25:38.pace at all as she waits for Haug to catch up. Here we are. The lead

:25:38. > :25:44.group is significant. We have not seen Gwen Jorgensen yet, but I think

:25:44. > :25:50.she is in their somewhere. That means that she is, with her running

:25:50. > :25:54.ability, particularly, Jorgensen she will sit at the back of the group.

:25:54. > :25:57.There she is, number one, middle of the group, the tall, slim figure.

:25:57. > :26:02.She's in the right position, with the leaders. Jorgensen's race has

:26:02. > :26:08.started superbly. The Germans still the leaders. Jorgensen's race has

:26:08. > :26:14.trying to get together and form a pair to make some inroads here. That

:26:14. > :26:27.is the Dutch rider coming past. A poor start from her. Out of the

:26:27. > :26:30.saddle, and pushing hard. One or two of the backmarkers trying to get

:26:30. > :26:44.involved as they come towards the end of the first lap. Jodie Stimpson

:26:44. > :26:59.and Natalie Milne. Olivera, and, significantly, Jorgensen is there.

:26:59. > :27:14.23 riders in total in the front group. Still the German tactics are

:27:14. > :27:24.for number 18 Knapp to wait for Haug it to arrive. This is tough for

:27:24. > :27:27.Knapp, she was part of the team in Germany that won the team

:27:27. > :27:36.championship injured -- Hamburg a few months ago. -- that one. A bit

:27:36. > :27:41.of chitchat going on between the lead riders. They need to share the

:27:41. > :27:45.workload here. Well on their way on the second lap now. One or two speed

:27:45. > :27:52.bumps to be absorbed, and the pace is now coming from number five, from

:27:52. > :27:57.New Zealand. 37 in the lead group is Olivera of Brazil. She did have a

:27:57. > :28:03.big shunt during the Olympic cycle stage 12 months ago and hit the deck

:28:03. > :28:07.hard down by the Palace. There is a little mini breakaway at the front.

:28:07. > :28:12.A couple of them trying to get clear, but they can be reeled in

:28:12. > :28:16.quite quickly. We saw the tactic employed by Alistair Brownlee in

:28:16. > :28:19.Stockholm in the previous race. But he left his charge until much later

:28:19. > :28:27.in the race. The Germans have come together at last. Haug And Knapp

:28:27. > :28:32.have joined forces. Can make make a dent in what has become a massive

:28:32. > :28:37.lead for the front group of 23? They are working together but a lot later

:28:37. > :28:47.than anticipated. You would not put your money on Hani Haug -- Annie

:28:47. > :28:51.Haug right now. The way they are riding compared to the front pack,

:28:51. > :28:54.you can guarantee they are riding a lot faster, but still just about two

:28:54. > :29:00.minutes down. Back with the leaders, lot faster, but still just about two

:29:00. > :29:07.following them from the helicopter shot, which means we can distinguish

:29:07. > :29:14.the cyclists through the fog. 32.5 kilometres to ride still. A group of

:29:14. > :29:22.23. Non Stanford has incurred a penalty. 15 second stop-go penalty

:29:22. > :29:27.that she will have to take on any of the laps on the run, of which there

:29:27. > :29:31.are three. She can take it at any time. It is significant, because she

:29:31. > :29:36.is with the leaders at the moment. But she will be aware that the

:29:36. > :29:47.penalty has been incurred. Another penalty has been given to Charlotte

:29:47. > :29:52.Bonin of Italy and is another one to pick up the 15 second penalty,

:29:52. > :30:01.similar to Jonathan Brownlee at the Olympic Games last year. Anne Haug

:30:01. > :30:06.still just two minutes down, the same difference after the first

:30:06. > :30:09.swim, and the first lap of the bike course. Emma Moffatt and Sarah Groff

:30:09. > :30:16.swim, and the first lap of the bike setting the pace on the water. The

:30:16. > :30:22.bad news is Non Stanford did not manage to get her wet suit into her

:30:22. > :30:26.box on transition, picking up a 15 second penalty, so Jodie Stimpson

:30:26. > :30:30.looks the better placed of the British so far. She and Non Stanford

:30:31. > :30:41.both riding with this lead group, currently lead I Jodie Stimpson in

:30:41. > :30:45.the dark strip. They could look like the Americans with that kit. It is

:30:45. > :30:51.Stinson pushing the pace at the front. It looks like she has Non

:30:51. > :30:58.Stanford for company as they head for the second time. -- Stimpson

:30:58. > :31:03.pushing the pace. These athletes cannot afford to sit in and not

:31:03. > :31:09.attempt some sort of breakaway. Gwen Jorgensen has the fastest 10k by

:31:09. > :31:15.over one minute. If you wait for the run, you could know that first place

:31:15. > :31:19.has gone. Possibly Non Stanford and Jodie Stimpson could have discussed

:31:19. > :31:25.an attack. You have to be very committed when you do that. With

:31:25. > :31:33.seven laps in total, you would think that the fourth or fifth would be

:31:33. > :31:37.the time to make a move. So that is, not quite the chase group, a

:31:37. > :31:46.little farther behind, involving the two Germans, Anne Haug, Anja Knapp,

:31:46. > :31:54.around the Victoria Memorial again. The triangle takes them onto bird

:31:54. > :32:00.cage Walk, getting into the direction back towards the parts to

:32:00. > :32:05.complete lap two of seven. The pace is relaxed at the front, partly due

:32:05. > :32:13.to the wet conditions of the roads, and maybe they need to up it, and

:32:13. > :32:21.the Germans will make a dent in this lead and riding as a parent is much

:32:21. > :32:26.safer than a group of 23. Moffatt taking it easy, but a huge pile-up,

:32:26. > :32:37.two hitting the deck, a right royal pile-up at the Palace! Was that Gwen

:32:37. > :32:42.Jorgensen? It could be, we will get confirmation, her race could be

:32:42. > :32:50.over! Something is not right. It looks like Jorgensen is down,

:32:50. > :32:54.desperately trying to fix her bike, she has lost her chained and could

:32:54. > :33:02.have lost her chance to become the champion of the world. Jorgensen

:33:02. > :33:08.cannot get the chain back on, cannot get any purchase, cannot get the

:33:08. > :33:14.rear wheel to turn, a nightmare for the American! Back on now, can she

:33:14. > :33:20.move away? Feedback on the pedals, caught out by the wet conditions,

:33:20. > :33:25.hit the deck hard, she will be sore to say the least, but is she able to

:33:25. > :33:32.continue and have any significant further involvement? It will be

:33:32. > :33:35.interesting. The two German athletes behind her, she will have to work on

:33:35. > :33:39.interesting. The two German athletes and work with them, but Anne Haug

:33:39. > :33:46.will not want to work with her, and all depending if she and her bike

:33:46. > :33:50.are in one piece. What drama! All three of the World Championship

:33:50. > :33:59.contenders having the issues, Abu swim for Anne Haug, the lack of wet

:33:59. > :34:04.suit for Non Stanford at transition, and this crash for Gwen Jorgensen.

:34:05. > :34:09.The second rider came away unscathed and was able to write clear of the

:34:10. > :34:18.accident. Devastating for her world title hopes. A lot to make up from

:34:18. > :34:24.last year's Olympics, going in as one of the dark horses, finishing

:34:24. > :34:30.38th, coming here with such high hopes of making up for that. But it

:34:30. > :34:34.looks like her race might be over unless she gets with the German duo,

:34:34. > :34:40.jumps on the back of that, and can get pulled up back to the front

:34:40. > :34:45.pack. It looks like the Italian, Alice Betto, has decided to move

:34:45. > :34:54.things back up. And neither a look at that incident, and Jorgensen went

:34:54. > :34:58.down face first. And lucky not to bring anyone else down. It looks

:34:58. > :35:05.like one did come down, but managed to get back on the pack. The wet

:35:05. > :35:09.roads proving a real hazard and the pace is significantly lower than

:35:09. > :35:12.normally seen on a dry day at the World Triathlon Series. Disappearing

:35:13. > :35:22.under the trees heading back up towards the end of the second lap

:35:22. > :35:27.and the lead group, now down to our by 21, following the crash with

:35:27. > :35:33.Jorgensen and that other athlete midway through number two. That will

:35:33. > :35:38.and nerve the girls, aware that the roads are quite obviously wet and

:35:38. > :35:48.slippery, but when you see one athlete go down, it can make you

:35:48. > :35:52.nervous and more cautious. Coming towards the end of lap number two,

:35:52. > :35:57.and we can check on who is still involved, who has been dropped, who

:35:57. > :36:02.has joined the lead group. A good crowd starting to form, the blue

:36:02. > :36:17.carpet signalling the end of transition and the end of the second

:36:17. > :36:18.lap. We think we have lost Jorgensen. Non Stanford not involved

:36:18. > :36:23.with the crash, so still involved Jorgensen. Non Stanford not involved

:36:23. > :36:30.with leading group. Natalie Milne is there. But Stanford still has that

:36:30. > :36:36.15 penalty to take, which she will take on one of the three laps on the

:36:36. > :36:41.run. And meanwhile, a dejected looking Gwen Jorgensen all on her

:36:41. > :36:48.own. A world champion in waiting and I wonder if she is able to continue.

:36:48. > :36:53.Any significant damage to the bike? And away that the two Germans are

:36:53. > :36:59.behind her and working hard to get back to the leaders pack? Not a lot

:36:59. > :37:09.of team are going on. Andrea Hewitt from New Zealand pushing the pace.

:37:09. > :37:13.-- not a lot of teamwork going on. And Non Stanford and Jodie Stimpson

:37:13. > :37:20.in the middle there. Hopefully keeping out of trouble. Back into

:37:20. > :37:22.the park now. The roads have been closed off all week in Hyde Park for

:37:22. > :37:31.the park now. The roads have been all the various junior events, the

:37:32. > :37:38.under 23 world champions, after long week, swimming, cycling, running

:37:38. > :37:41.action, and the conclusion is the two days of elite racing, with

:37:41. > :37:51.British triathletes in the running for the world title, Non Stanford

:37:51. > :38:03.still has that 15 second penalty. Stimpson and Stanford not split by

:38:03. > :38:09.much on world standings. 1200 points for the wind here today. Hewitt

:38:09. > :38:18.could still become the World Triathlon Series champion for 2013.

:38:18. > :38:25.-- Jodie Stimpson could still become the World Triathlon Series champion

:38:25. > :38:31.for 2013. And her compatriot, Non Stanford, still has to stop for 15

:38:31. > :38:35.seconds. Jodie has so much confidence, I was reading an

:38:35. > :38:39.interview, and she had hoped for possibly top ten overall finish in

:38:39. > :38:45.this series at the start of the year, but she has matured beyond

:38:45. > :38:55.belief and is so strong now in all three disciplines. At the end of lap

:38:56. > :39:01.three, with four to go, the chasers are desperately trying to hold their

:39:01. > :39:11.way back into contention. I have had no news for a while from Gwen

:39:11. > :39:17.Jorgensen. The tennis courts, one is in play! On a wet Saturday morning

:39:17. > :39:23.and the rain getting harder and heavier. There is the Diana,

:39:23. > :39:31.Princess of Wales Memorial, the stone ring fountain, opened in 2004.

:39:31. > :39:37.We do not want to get ahead of ourselves, but I think if Jodie was

:39:37. > :39:41.to win to date and take the title, she would be the third British

:39:41. > :39:48.female athlete to take it since the world triathlon series, which

:39:48. > :39:50.started 24 years ago, we saw Helen Tucker take the championship title

:39:50. > :39:53.in 2008 and 2011, and Leanda Cave Tucker take the championship title

:39:53. > :40:18.back in 2002. Just pictures they are of the third

:40:18. > :40:23.German athlete, I wonder if she knows what is going on behind her

:40:23. > :40:27.with her team-mates. She has her gloves there, very well prepared for

:40:27. > :40:31.these cold conditions. Back to the second packed with Anne Haug really

:40:31. > :40:37.taking her turn on the frontier. No, that is her team-mate Anja Knapp.

:40:37. > :40:42.taking her turn on the frontier. No, Anne Haug is just tucked in behind,

:40:42. > :40:48.desperately trying to claw back that more than two minute deficit they

:40:48. > :40:53.incurred after their swim, when Anja Knapp was asked to hand back to wait

:40:53. > :41:00.for Anne Haug to arrive, it is now three minutes plus. Jodie Stimpson

:41:00. > :41:10.was first at the end of lap three, the gap off three minutes and 20

:41:10. > :41:16.seconds to Anne Haug and her group, enormous in triathlon terms. And

:41:16. > :41:21.four laps built to write, and the chance one-minute or one minute and

:41:21. > :41:27.a half could be taken and too much for Anne Haug to keep up. The

:41:27. > :41:32.distinct possibility of a battle for the world title between the two

:41:32. > :41:36.British, Jodie Stimpson and Non Stanford, bearing in mind Non

:41:36. > :41:40.Stanford has a 15 minute penalty to come during the run. The same thing

:41:40. > :41:43.happened to Jonathan Brownlee in the come during the run. The same thing

:41:43. > :41:50.Olympic race last summer and still held on to take bronze. This front

:41:51. > :41:55.group, their pace certainly has been deceptive. I did not think they were

:41:55. > :41:59.working that well together, but must be, because the time between them

:41:59. > :42:04.and Anne Haug is growing, three minutes and 20 seconds,

:42:04. > :42:13.and Anne Haug is growing, three under the Wellington Arch, cleared

:42:13. > :42:18.of tourists and cleared of sightseers today, and people

:42:18. > :42:24.beginning to come out to watch the race. Buckingham Palace Gardens, 40

:42:24. > :42:29.acres in total on the right, Green Park on the left, freewheeling down

:42:29. > :42:37.Constitution Hill with just under half way still to ride. Just under

:42:37. > :42:42.20 kilometres on two wields. I wonder what is going on in the front

:42:42. > :42:46.pack, difficult to know the disaster is going on behind them, not unlike

:42:46. > :42:53.the Tour de France where they will have an earpiece and team members

:42:54. > :42:57.shouting through what is happening, trouble they not know Gwen Jorgensen

:42:58. > :43:04.is out of the race, or that Anne Haug is over three minutes down.

:43:04. > :43:09.Just coming round, we can see the race starting to come down roads

:43:09. > :43:15.very wet and the triathletes riding very cautiously and I do not blame

:43:15. > :43:19.them. If Jodie Stimpson wins, and Non Stanford finishes second,

:43:19. > :43:25.Stanford will still be world champion. That is the only some I

:43:25. > :43:28.have managed to do in my head in the last few minutes with all the

:43:28. > :43:37.drama. Back row the only sounds I have managed. Shall give everything

:43:37. > :43:42.as it develops. Down into the ten kilometre run and when and how do

:43:42. > :43:47.the penalty will affect Non Stanford. She will have to stop,

:43:48. > :43:52.come out, stands still for 15 seconds, then start running again,

:43:52. > :43:56.always a tough call. Back with the Germans, Anne Haug still in the

:43:56. > :44:05.running for a World Championship title, way off the pace, three

:44:05. > :44:09.minutes down last time we saw. A lone biker on the right-hand side of

:44:09. > :44:15.the road there. The elite triathletes asked to stay on the

:44:15. > :44:21.left-hand side. Just looking at the 10k splits over the course of the

:44:21. > :44:26.year and for Jodie to beat Non Stanford, she has to run at a

:44:27. > :44:32.roundabout 30 seconds faster, quite a lot, so that 15 seconds Non

:44:32. > :44:36.Stanford will sit out half of that time, but Jodie Stimpson needing the

:44:36. > :45:14.run of her life to beat Non Stanford on this run course.

:45:14. > :45:21.How Deep into the fourth lap, 18.4 kilometres to ride as they pass over

:45:21. > :45:33.the New Zealand and Australian War Memorial. Deteriorating conditions.

:45:33. > :45:37.Very difficult triathlon conditions, starting with the cold

:45:37. > :45:48.water of the Serpentine, then the damp streets of central London. And

:45:48. > :45:54.there is Gwen Jorgensen. I think these are recorded pictures, and

:45:54. > :46:01.Jorgensen is out of the race and on her way to the medical centre. As

:46:01. > :46:07.far as we are led to believe, the race is over 30 American. She was

:46:07. > :46:10.the leader in the series for 2013 -- for the American. She arrived in

:46:10. > :46:15.high hopes that she could make an impact, but that crash by the

:46:15. > :46:20.Palace. She is warmly applauded by the grad. The crash by the Palace

:46:20. > :46:27.has put paid to her ambitions -- by the crowd. She cuts a sorrowful

:46:27. > :46:30.figure as she exits the race, and she has officially retired from the

:46:30. > :46:42.London grand finale. All over for your Ganson. -- Gwen Jorgensen. So,

:46:42. > :46:47.Stimpson is in contention for the world triathlon series title.

:46:47. > :46:51.Exchanging a few words with Emma Moffat. Gwen Jorgensen does not like

:46:51. > :47:01.talking to the media at the best of times, so she won't want to talk to

:47:01. > :47:06.anybody at all right now. Devastating for Gwen Jorgensen.

:47:06. > :47:12.Backward Jodie Stimpson again. -- back with Jodie Stimpson. Amazing

:47:12. > :47:16.how Gwen Jorgensen got the transition so wrong. They call it

:47:16. > :47:23.the fourth discipline of the triathlon. A simple mistake of not

:47:23. > :47:29.putting the wet suit in the box. That costing her becoming world

:47:29. > :47:31.champion a possibility. There are still various mathematical

:47:31. > :47:35.possibilities as the race unfolds. At the end of the fourth lap, still

:47:35. > :47:44.possibilities as the race unfolds. a significantly large group.

:47:44. > :47:47.Stimpson is officially in ninth, with the other two fighting behind

:47:47. > :47:53.as we say goodbye again to Gwen Jorgensen. We will check on the gap

:47:53. > :48:04.to the chasers in a moment. It should be around 23 in the lead

:48:04. > :48:09.group, no, it has grown to 24. Bonin Is the last of them through.

:48:09. > :48:14.Crossing over the Serpentine Bridge now, and they are getting welcomed

:48:14. > :48:25.as they come into the transition to complete their fourth lap. The

:48:25. > :48:30.second pack about come through the transition. Coming up to one

:48:30. > :48:36.minute, and still no sign of the German duo, a good couple of minutes

:48:36. > :48:42.behind the second lap. We think that Non Stanford, if she finishes third

:48:42. > :48:47.or below, then Jodie Stimpson will win the race, then Jodie Saint --

:48:47. > :48:55.Stimpson will become world champion. It was all about Gwen Jorgensen,

:48:55. > :49:01.Stanford and anyhow, but suddenly looks like she might just be about

:49:01. > :49:09.to be favourite to become world champion -- Stanford and and how. It

:49:09. > :49:18.depends how she responds after the 15th -- 15 second penalty. Jodie

:49:18. > :49:22.would need a 32nd lead on Non Stanford, and when she gets the bit

:49:22. > :49:24.between her teeth there will be no stopping her. She came into the race

:49:24. > :49:27.so relaxed, the underdog, and when she gets the bit between her teeth

:49:27. > :49:30.there will be no stopping her. She came into the race so relaxed, the

:49:30. > :49:40.underdog, a nice position to your own race and not bearing in mind

:49:40. > :49:44.that Stanford has the choice of which lap she can take the penalty,

:49:44. > :49:48.where would she do it? I think she would have to do it right at the

:49:48. > :49:53.beginning. It is hard to be going flat out and then stop. We saw

:49:53. > :49:59.Johnny Bramley in the Olympics, and that is difficult. -- Johnny

:49:59. > :50:11.Brownlee. It is not quite as hard when you are mid-run. Deep into the

:50:11. > :50:14.fifth lap of seven now. This triathlon, the first part of the

:50:14. > :50:21.double-header this weekend with the men's race due off at 1:30pm on

:50:22. > :50:27.Sunday afternoon, live on BBC Two, and we have had plenty of drama and

:50:27. > :50:34.excitement so far. The men's race still to come, so a mouthwatering

:50:34. > :50:40.prospect with two days of triathlon. There is the subplot as

:50:40. > :50:45.well developing with the Germans Haug and Anja Knapp, who have joined

:50:45. > :50:49.up with the others, as they determinedly ride through the

:50:49. > :50:53.streets and through the park. Attempting to close the gap. We will

:50:54. > :50:59.have a look at how that gap is. It was three minutes and eight seconds

:50:59. > :51:06.at one point. I think it is down to three minutes and 30 now. Three

:51:06. > :51:16.minutes and 30 seconds between the leaders and this pack, led by the

:51:16. > :51:26.two Germans, Haug Knapp and -- how and -- Haug and Knapp. She has a

:51:26. > :51:30.good chance of running down the front pack, but now looking at that

:51:30. > :51:38.three and a half minute deficit, it will be quite difficult to catch

:51:38. > :51:45.some of these slower runners. The rain falling quite heavily now. We

:51:45. > :51:48.had a dry -ish morning. The forecast just about coming true as the rain

:51:48. > :51:53.starts to fall. Thankfully the helicopter can stay in the air as

:51:53. > :52:00.the riders pass under the magnificent Wellington Arch. I am

:52:00. > :52:04.wondering if anyone is thinking about making a break because it is

:52:04. > :52:08.wet, it will be a bit dangerous and it could be a disaster to come off

:52:08. > :52:12.at this point in the race. The likes of Andrea Hewitt, who knows she

:52:12. > :52:17.can't go as fast as the others, she might think, with the second lap

:52:17. > :52:23.left, she might put the hammer down for the transition with ten or 20

:52:23. > :52:26.seconds lead on the chasers. Jessica Harrison, formerly of Great

:52:26. > :52:30.Britain, her final world triathlon Harrison, formerly of Great

:52:30. > :52:34.series event under the French colours which has been her nation of

:52:34. > :52:42.choice pretty much throughout her elite triathlon career. Still at the

:52:42. > :52:49.back, Emma Jackson, sitting at the back of the pack where she seems to

:52:49. > :52:51.have spent the entire season. I don't think she is getting any

:52:51. > :52:56.have spent the entire season. I brownie points, but to be honest,

:52:56. > :53:00.the girls in front are much stronger cyclists and she cannot do much, so

:53:00. > :53:04.she might as well wait for the run. She has a great run. We saw her race

:53:04. > :53:09.really well at the Olympics. Harrison has called it a day, I

:53:09. > :53:18.think. She has got a bike problem. She needs a new wheel. She will lose

:53:18. > :53:24.a good deal of time. The front group have ridden away from me French

:53:24. > :53:26.triathlete, Jessica Harrison, she clearly has a mechanical problem.

:53:26. > :53:33.She will be changing the wheel right now. The grit to stick to the tyres

:53:33. > :53:36.and rubber, and that is what has happened. I would not be surprised

:53:36. > :53:43.and rubber, and that is what has if we did not see one or two more

:53:43. > :53:47.retirees by the end of the race. Buckingham Palace originally known

:53:47. > :53:51.as Buckingham house, and became the official royal palace when Queen

:53:51. > :53:55.Victoria came to the throne in 1837. Jessica Harrison realising she

:53:55. > :54:01.has a puncture, and it is dangerous in these wet conditions as the air

:54:02. > :54:06.comes out of the tyre. Harrison going to the area where the spare

:54:06. > :54:10.wheels are kept down in front of Buckingham Palace. We can see the

:54:10. > :54:16.inner quadrant. Magnificent gardens stretching out behind. Jackson still

:54:16. > :54:22.at the back of the pack where she is happy to remain throughout this

:54:22. > :54:32.cycle section. We are back with the Germans, and look at the effort that

:54:32. > :54:36.and how -- at Haug is putting in. Trying to claw back the time. There

:54:36. > :54:39.is no way that she can close the gap. With the effort she is putting

:54:39. > :54:42.is no way that she can close the in on this 40 kilometre bike ride

:54:42. > :54:48.you wonder what she will have left for the run. The end of the fifth

:54:48. > :54:53.lap, and the triathlon has been in process now for one hour and seven

:54:53. > :55:00.minutes and 55 seconds. We still have the last two laps and the ten

:55:00. > :55:06.kilometres to go. We can have a full check with Stanford and Natalie

:55:06. > :55:12.Milne and Jodie Stimpson Wall featuring -- all featuring in the

:55:12. > :55:16.first few times. Joined by some good runners here. But you have to think

:55:16. > :55:22.first few times. Joined by some good that Stimpson and Stanford are the

:55:22. > :55:29.strongest runners still featuring in this elite group. Jodie talked about

:55:29. > :55:34.her legs and how they feel on the road, but she said you do not know

:55:34. > :55:38.until you step off the bike and know if you have your running legs. She

:55:38. > :55:44.has all her family and friends here. It is going to be a pretty exciting

:55:44. > :55:51.occasion for Jodie to be racing on home soil. She spoke about how

:55:51. > :55:58.important it would be to her, the three weeks off after her race she

:55:58. > :56:00.will spend it all but her family. It is getting wetter. The rainfall

:56:00. > :56:09.becoming more and more significant now. And the chasing group are

:56:09. > :56:14.coming through. Jessica Harrison, the puncture cost her 30 seconds in

:56:14. > :56:17.the end. She is riding on her own at the moment. 30 seconds behind the

:56:17. > :56:30.lead group. The chasers are coming through. Jessica said she is going

:56:30. > :56:37.to retire after the race. Katie Hewison is through, one and a half

:56:37. > :56:41.minutes of the pace. Fernandez, number 35, also with the chasing

:56:41. > :56:54.group. The leaders well on their way now. And the time, an energy bar for

:56:54. > :56:56.Stanford and Stimpson. Number three, third in the world triathlon series

:56:57. > :57:04.championship and she will be well aware she has got the 15 pack --

:57:04. > :57:09.second penalty to come. That is Jodie Stimpson, from Oldbury, in the

:57:10. > :57:13.West Midlands. Well positioned, Stimpson. It could be a battle

:57:13. > :57:21.between Stimpson and Stanford for the world title. Olive Eire from

:57:21. > :57:31.Brazil, number 37, coming through. Number seven is Ashley capital

:57:31. > :57:37.letter gentle -- is Ashley Gentle. 14 in the background, Sarah Groff of

:57:37. > :57:41.the US, group -- a decent runner. She could feature in the top five

:57:41. > :57:47.places today. Number 17 coming through, the Italian, another good

:57:47. > :57:54.swimmer and biker, but has she got the legs for the run? We will find

:57:54. > :58:02.out in the next 20 minutes or so. A bit of information on Ashley

:58:03. > :58:07.Gentle, she was the 2010 world junior champion, and she is one of

:58:07. > :58:16.those athletes in the top sentence and still has her eye on a podium

:58:16. > :58:24.position -- in the top seven. Sato is the leading rider officially. The

:58:24. > :58:30.Germans, they have only taken three seconds out of it during that lap.

:58:30. > :58:43.So, no dent made, no significant margin gained for Haug. You have to

:58:43. > :58:46.be impressed by her determination -- her determination, but she does not

:58:46. > :58:50.like she is giving up. The only thing that can happen is that the

:58:50. > :58:56.front pack give up a little bit and they might gain a bit of time.

:58:56. > :59:02.Heading for the Wellington Arch, coming up the Constitution Hill

:59:02. > :59:05.again. The Wellington Arch originally had an law -- an enormous

:59:05. > :59:13.statue of the Duke of Wellington on top of it, but it was moved and put

:59:13. > :59:20.up again in Aldershot at the top of the arch there which is now adorned

:59:20. > :59:25.with the quad region which represents the Angel of peace coming

:59:25. > :59:33.down onto the chariot of war. Through the memorial gates with just

:59:33. > :59:34.over 8.5 kilometres still to write. Down Constitution Hill again --

:59:35. > :59:40.still to ride. Familiar sight, the Down Constitution Hill again --

:59:40. > :59:43.green and gold colours of Australia, Down Constitution Hill again --

:59:43. > :59:52.Emma Jackson, having a nice little ride around this 40 kilometre bike

:59:52. > :59:54.course. It is getting more and more difficult for the helicopter to

:59:54. > :00:02.bring us the shots as the weather worsens.

:00:02. > :00:12.Three and a half minutes between the leaders and the German period of

:00:12. > :00:17.Anja Knapp and Anne Haug, shaping up nicely from a British perspective as

:00:17. > :00:22.they come down in front of the Victoria Memorial for the

:00:22. > :00:28.penultimate time and the triangle taking them to bird cage walk, the

:00:28. > :00:30.other side of the road before returning again to the park at the

:00:30. > :00:40.other side of the road before top of Constitution Hill. Bird cage

:00:40. > :00:44.Walk. Left-handed now, around this woodland. The chance on the course

:00:44. > :00:55.to get a look at the chasers. Being 3.5 minutes and find, -- behind, too

:00:55. > :01:00.far back. The Germans may not yet be out of the park. Fairly well spread

:01:00. > :01:10.here, everyone riding most of this bike course in single file. It looks

:01:11. > :01:16.like we have an attack on the front there, I can see one rider, one big

:01:16. > :01:22.gap, two riders, then another big gap. We will see who is in front

:01:22. > :01:27.once we track from the back of the course, the camera struggling with

:01:27. > :01:37.the moisture, and up towards the front to see who has made the

:01:37. > :01:44.break. It is Jackson and Bonin at the back. A bit more ardent as we

:01:44. > :01:49.get to the last but one lap. -- a bit more urgency. This is when we

:01:49. > :01:55.had a break in the Stockholm race, which proved to be a winning break.

:01:55. > :02:00.You have to be committed when doing an attack, no point doing that for

:02:00. > :02:10.ten seconds, Alistair Brownlee put his head down and did not look back,

:02:10. > :02:16.which paid off. Absolutely. Yuka Sato of Japan, possibly ending up

:02:16. > :02:22.with a season's best to date. A lot of athletes who have not featured,

:02:22. > :02:27.possibly not seeing the problems that beset Gwen Jorgensen, and Anne

:02:27. > :02:39.Haug, and the 15 second penalty for Non Stanford. One athlete in that

:02:39. > :02:43.front pack is Ai Ueda from Japan. In 2013, certainly picked up her game,

:02:43. > :02:48.and a decent runner, I would expect 2013, certainly picked up her game,

:02:48. > :03:00.to see her in the urgent stages of the run. Taking the Bell, then one

:03:00. > :03:07.more lap to ride. It would be nice to see an attack, making it

:03:07. > :03:11.exciting. Some might try to set up a shot at the lead. Maybe Non

:03:11. > :03:16.Stanford, who knows she has a 15 second penalty to come, and as they

:03:16. > :03:21.fly over the Palace of Westminster here, the helicopter steering clear

:03:22. > :03:26.of the cloud. If Non Stanford knows she has a 15 second penalty to

:03:26. > :03:31.come, maybe she will try to make up for it and cancel it out by getting

:03:31. > :03:36.herself 10-12 seconds in front at the end of the bike course, possibly

:03:36. > :03:40.at tactic she will employees. We will see her decision as the riders

:03:40. > :03:47.come back towards where it all started again to conclude lap. You

:03:47. > :03:54.come back towards where it all can see in the back, some of the

:03:54. > :03:58.athletes having a bit of a chitchat, a bit of a tell-tale sign that the

:03:58. > :04:05.pace has dropped and they are cruising around what is meant to be

:04:05. > :04:08.the last lap very shortly. This is something the Brownlee brothers

:04:08. > :04:12.prefer not to do, taking it out hard, some prefer to have a little

:04:12. > :04:16.prefer not to do, taking it out break in the last lap. On the

:04:17. > :04:23.right-hand side, the Japanese riders. A determined move to the

:04:23. > :04:31.front by Non Stanford. 17 minutes and 25 seconds. Stanford moves to

:04:31. > :04:37.the front. And it is the end of lap six with one to go, taking the

:04:37. > :04:44.bell, Stimson keeping out of trouble. Emma Moffatt, who has had a

:04:45. > :04:59.horrific race so far, doing plenty of the work. With one lap to go, the

:04:59. > :05:05.Japanese cross first. Rebecca Robisch the best of the Germans

:05:05. > :05:13.today. Natalie Milne on course for a personal best today. And a good

:05:13. > :05:16.opportunity to get involved for Stanford and Stimpson, completing

:05:16. > :05:25.the bike, and recording her best ever result. Back with the Germans

:05:25. > :05:30.now. We expect the time between them to have shrunk now. But not

:05:30. > :05:36.significantly. They were not even back in the park, still a way to go.

:05:36. > :05:42.Vanessa Raw, we have not seen her yet, racing very well in Stockholm.

:05:42. > :05:47.Sadly not making the front pack today, which is unusual for Vanessa.

:05:47. > :05:52.She has a strong swim, but pushing this second pack, seeing if they can

:05:52. > :06:00.claw back a few seconds before the run. Vicky Holland is also in the

:06:00. > :06:06.race, finishing fourth in Stockholm, lots of British interest bill in

:06:06. > :06:13.this final World Triathlon Series race of 2013. All began in Auckland

:06:13. > :06:18.one by Anne Haug, when Jorgensen took the win in San Diego, coming

:06:18. > :06:25.from a long way back. In Yokohama, Gwen Jorgensen one again. Stanford

:06:26. > :06:31.had her maiden win in Madrid still is the end Kitzbuhel in the Austrian

:06:31. > :06:37.apps, it was Jodie Stimpson. Gwen Jorgensen triumphed again in

:06:37. > :06:44.Stockholm. It is all about the series of eight races over the

:06:44. > :06:48.year. Although Jackson was prerace favourite to become world champion

:06:48. > :06:54.today, -- although Gwen Jorgensen was prerace favourite to become

:06:54. > :07:00.world champion today, hard bicycle crash has played into the hands of

:07:00. > :07:08.Stanford or Stimpson, dependent on this 15 second penalty that Stanford

:07:08. > :07:13.has to undertake. And we have Rachel from Holland, the current European

:07:13. > :07:18.champion, in the front pack, not seeing her taking much of a turn on

:07:18. > :07:30.the front. Saving her legs for the 10k run. Stimpson and Stanford, in

:07:30. > :07:34.close proximity. Stanford starting to think about this penalty she has

:07:34. > :07:40.to take. A brilliant runner. And this is what it was all about. That

:07:40. > :07:45.wet suit did not make it into the box, and she will serve a 15 second

:07:45. > :07:52.penalty for equipment out of the box. It is harsh, but she knows the

:07:52. > :07:56.rules. Really harsh. But if all athletes threw down their wet suit,

:07:56. > :08:01.the transition area would be a mess, it has to be one rule for

:08:01. > :08:08.everyone. Pretty harsh because half was in the wet box. I do not know

:08:08. > :08:13.what she was thinking. I would like to say inexperienced, but she is

:08:13. > :08:17.not. Inexperienced at the start of this year, but not now. The Germans

:08:17. > :08:24.now complete their sixth lap, one more to go for them. No timing that

:08:24. > :08:30.time, we know it was three minutes, 27 seconds last time. Three, 23,

:08:30. > :08:41.taking a further four seconds, but no significant move by Anne Haug and

:08:41. > :08:47.Anja Knapp, joined in this group by Maaike Caelers and one or two macro

:08:47. > :08:51.others. The only positive thing in the last two macro laps is not

:08:51. > :09:02.losing any more time, but losing a huge amount in the first half and of

:09:02. > :09:09.course in the swimming as well. Haug certainly giving it everything. But

:09:09. > :09:15.with so many good writers, it was always going to be a tough call. --

:09:15. > :09:20.riders. I wondered what was going on with Anne Haug, not a great swimmer,

:09:20. > :09:25.but to get so far behind. Just difficult times for her. She

:09:25. > :09:29.separated from her coach, Darren Smith, who has turned her around in

:09:29. > :09:34.the last two macro years from pretty much a nobody up to an athlete that

:09:34. > :09:41.is chasing the World Championship title. A change of circumstances,

:09:41. > :09:46.back to the German federation, quite pleased to get her back, I think,

:09:46. > :09:55.Anne Haug, and they went on to win that relay team really in Stockholm

:09:55. > :09:58.where she also won the individual sprint there, but things not going

:09:59. > :10:04.in the right direction since. Finishing third in Stockholm behind

:10:04. > :10:09.Gwen Jorgensen and Non Stanford. That's the place in Stockholm put

:10:09. > :10:13.her into contention for the World Triathlon Series, but with the

:10:13. > :10:21.dreadful swim here in the early morning in Hyde Park, that has left

:10:21. > :10:25.her with a mountain to climb. Helped along by Anja Knapp, 18, and the

:10:26. > :10:30.rest of this group who are desperately trying to bridge the

:10:31. > :10:36.gap, but it has been a thankless task, just a couple of seconds each

:10:36. > :10:41.lap, sometimes we can see riders chasing down a gap of one minute or

:10:41. > :10:43.more during a 40 K right, but has not happened for the Germans and the

:10:43. > :10:50.rest of their group. If you look at not happened for the Germans and the

:10:50. > :10:55.the style of Anne Haug's riding, in that a row position, she looks like

:10:55. > :10:59.she is giving it her all, and surprisingly that they have not

:10:59. > :11:03.managed to claw back more time, because the front pack has not

:11:03. > :11:08.looked particularly tidy, but it just goes to show the pace they are

:11:08. > :11:13.riding is obviously significantly faster than the Germans. Not that it

:11:13. > :11:17.has anything to do with Emma Jackson, still at the back as she

:11:18. > :11:23.was at the start, she just sits at the tail end, does none of the work

:11:23. > :11:27.at the front, keeps herself out of trouble, nothing in the rules of the

:11:27. > :11:34.old system of triathlon when drafting was not committing. It was

:11:34. > :11:39.impossible to police, of course, and Jackson would have to do plenty of

:11:39. > :11:46.work, but in drafting races, she is able to sit there and enjoy the

:11:46. > :11:51.ride. And why not? If you can. But playing a very sensible race. Emma

:11:51. > :11:57.Jackson has a great run, knows this cause well, seven that the Olympics,

:11:57. > :12:02.second in Kitzbuhel, seventh in Hamburg, very fit coming into this

:12:02. > :12:07.race, and it is now back to Anja Knapp they're really trying to push

:12:07. > :12:14.the pace on this last lap. Trying to bring back that 3.5 minutes. May be

:12:14. > :12:21.taking a few seconds out of the lead in this final lap coming through the

:12:21. > :12:26.memorial gates once again. And heading on to partly on for this

:12:26. > :12:34.last little rectangle at the final lap on the bike. Devastating for

:12:34. > :12:40.Anne Haug. She has had a sensational season, opening up with winning in

:12:40. > :12:47.Auckland, both in San Diego, second in Madrid, first in Hamburg, beating

:12:47. > :12:51.Non Stanford, third in Stockholm, and all falling apart in the final

:12:51. > :12:57.and most important race. And swimming conditions were so good,

:12:57. > :13:01.with flat water, plenty of space, not working out for hard. We will

:13:01. > :13:06.find out what happened after the race. But it is looking like it

:13:06. > :13:14.might be one where she goes home empty-handed. She is leading this

:13:14. > :13:17.group of six along, but the leaders meanwhile are starting to think

:13:17. > :13:24.about the arrival in transition for the final time. Sarah Groff moves

:13:24. > :13:30.forward to take it up at the front. Out of the saddle, stretching them a

:13:30. > :13:35.little. Stanford and Stimpson not letting them get too far away.

:13:35. > :13:39.Reaching down shortly to undo the Velcro straps on their shoes, giving

:13:39. > :13:47.them the quickest possible transition, needing to get off right

:13:47. > :13:52.before the dismount line. The wheels still turning quickly, edition in

:13:52. > :13:57.their feet on top of the pedals to jump off over to their allotted

:13:57. > :14:00.space in transition, Park thereby, very careful to get everything in

:14:00. > :14:07.space in transition, Park thereby, the box. -- park their bicycles.

:14:07. > :14:18.Picking up their running shoes, leaving helmets behind, and then a

:14:18. > :14:23.10k run. Emma Moffatt the Queen of transition, waiting late to get her

:14:23. > :14:35.feet of the shoes. Resting feedback on to the pedals, crews in. --

:14:35. > :14:38.cruise in. Sarah Groff just about ready to go, Stanford and Stimpson

:14:38. > :14:42.cruise in. Sarah Groff just about shoulder to shoulder, and remember

:14:42. > :14:47.that Stanford has a 15 second penalty. The bike is over, running

:14:47. > :14:50.towards transition, Stanford leaving them in, will she go in early for

:14:50. > :14:58.towards transition, Stanford leaving the penalty? A huge group coming

:14:58. > :15:02.into transition to get the. Stimpson's dreams of becoming the

:15:02. > :15:08.World Triathlon Series champion of the world for 2013 very much alive.

:15:08. > :15:12.Stimpson arrives at her parking stand. Stanford there as well. The

:15:12. > :15:18.wet suit is in the bogs, but too late for her. Stimpson struggling

:15:18. > :15:24.with her left shoe. She cannot get her foot in the shoe, getting left

:15:24. > :15:31.behind, then try athlete is exiting transition at least before Stimpson

:15:31. > :15:35.got her left shoe on. I can tell you what happened, their hands are

:15:35. > :15:40.freezing, and they cannot coordinate themselves. She just could not get

:15:40. > :15:47.her foot in. The sensible riders were wearing gloves today. Out they

:15:47. > :15:51.go, and Stanford hits the front. Kicking clear of transition. She has

:15:51. > :15:56.a 15 second stop-go penalty to take and it will be her choice as to

:15:56. > :16:02.which lap she takes it on, the first, second or third. This was

:16:02. > :16:06.Stimpson coming into the transition. Her hands frozen, and she could not

:16:06. > :16:11.get her left shoe on. The right she went on straightaway. The left one

:16:11. > :16:19.would just not going. -- the right shoe. Sometimes they go on to the

:16:20. > :16:24.run with the helmet on because they physically cannot get the clip

:16:24. > :16:29.open. Finally Stimpson got the shoe on, and she's on her way. Stanford

:16:29. > :16:33.has kicked clear. This is her tactic. It could be she feels she

:16:33. > :16:40.has got the measure of the rest of them in running terms, and with no

:16:40. > :16:43.Gwen Jorgensen and Haug to content which you might be the best of the

:16:43. > :16:48.runners today. She might think she can open up a 15 second lead, take

:16:48. > :16:54.the stop-go penalty and still give herself a chance. 500 metres into

:16:54. > :16:58.the race and it looks like she has about five seconds on the pack

:16:58. > :17:01.behind her. When I saw her run in Madrid I was so impressed. She has

:17:01. > :17:05.behind her. When I saw her run in such a wonderfully relaxed

:17:05. > :17:10.technique. This was the transition from Stanford. This is where she saw

:17:10. > :17:14.the mistake, the wet suit by then had been put into the box, but it

:17:14. > :17:24.wasn't there at the end of the swim, which is what cost her. SPD

:17:24. > :17:29.transition. -- a speedy transition. Yes, but eventually the clip came

:17:29. > :17:32.off and away she went. These are the chasers, one to wearing the scars of

:17:32. > :17:39.battle. The Chinese rider has clearly hit the deck during the run.

:17:39. > :17:44.Haug Is starting to prepare for transition. Stanford on the way.

:17:44. > :17:49.Sarah Groff is next best in second. Looks like Emma Moffat is holding

:17:49. > :17:54.third. The gap between Stanford and Sarah Groff is about five seconds,

:17:54. > :17:58.maybe less, three seconds at this stage. Then a further eight or nine

:17:58. > :18:06.seconds back to Sarah Moffatt. Stanford kicking clear of the pack

:18:06. > :18:11.as the group containing Haug and Anja Knapp arrive. The gap is three

:18:11. > :18:20.minutes and 20 seconds. They took another four seconds they're out of

:18:20. > :18:24.the lead during the final cycle lap. Haug, she does not look like she's

:18:24. > :18:33.running comfortably. Grimacing as she arrives at the stand. Let's see

:18:33. > :18:36.how her transition goes. She has to hope she has her best running legs

:18:36. > :18:45.on if she is going to salvage anything in this last race of the

:18:45. > :18:49.series. Those are the visor and gets a helping hand from Anja Knapp, with

:18:49. > :18:54.an awful lot of work to do now for those two. Three laps to go. A

:18:54. > :19:00.slightly altered course to the Olympics last year. Stanford is deep

:19:00. > :19:04.into lap one, practically sprinting through the first 500 metres here.

:19:05. > :19:11.Terrific start for Non Stanford. Plenty to offer here, and Jodie

:19:11. > :19:17.Stimpson is quite a way behind. Yes, she mentioned a few weeks back that

:19:17. > :19:23.she trains with her partner, David McNamee, regular top-10 finisher,

:19:23. > :19:29.and he has trouble keeping up with her on the track. Let's not forget

:19:29. > :19:33.that Stanford has to take the standing count the 15 seconds rather

:19:33. > :19:37.like a boxer and then head back onto the course. She will hope to build

:19:37. > :19:46.up a gap of something approaching ten or 15 seconds. She is absolutely

:19:46. > :19:52.flying. It is like the pace of a 1500 metre runner. Sarah Groff

:19:52. > :19:58.cannot even stay with her at this stage. There is the gap to Emma

:19:59. > :20:05.Moffat and the group which includes Jodie Stimpson, who is in equal

:20:05. > :20:08.fifth at the moment. What a gutsy move from Non Stanford. What a

:20:08. > :20:16.season she has had. A breakthrough season in her first -- with her

:20:16. > :20:19.first win coming in Madrid, then the second in Hamburg, second in

:20:19. > :20:22.Stockholm, and she could round off the season potentially with victory

:20:22. > :20:31.and become the world champion. 15 the season potentially with victory

:20:31. > :20:37.seconds to stand still, that is the penalty for not getting her wet suit

:20:37. > :20:40.in the box. Compare the running style Stanford to Sarah Moffatt,

:20:40. > :20:46.extraordinarily different. There is Stimpson of Great Britain. Jackson,

:20:46. > :20:50.who was at the back of the pack throughout the cycle is in sixth.

:20:50. > :21:07.Andrea Hewitt looking like she is struggling with the pace. And we

:21:07. > :21:11.have lost Vanessa Raw, helped away to the medical centre, we can see

:21:11. > :21:16.that from the commentary position. The main focus will be on one of the

:21:16. > :21:21.other British triathletes as Non Stanford, from Wales, goes about her

:21:21. > :21:27.business. The tactic is clearly to open up a gap and see how much of a

:21:27. > :21:31.gap she can put over Sarah Groff and the rest of the chasing pack as they

:21:31. > :21:41.approach the end of the first lap. 3.33 kilometres to conclude the

:21:41. > :21:45.10,000. I think she will take the penalty as if she is doing a rap on

:21:45. > :21:49.the track. Then she will go again. It is going to be tough, but she

:21:49. > :21:52.will be used to doing it in training, even though it is a

:21:52. > :21:59.slightly shorter rest than used to if she was doing repetitions on the

:21:59. > :22:02.track. Haug, she is moving up through the field and seems to have

:22:02. > :22:07.rediscovered her Mojo after a dreadful swim and her lack of

:22:07. > :22:10.ability on the two wheels to close a gap to the leaders. But she is

:22:10. > :22:14.making her way and made up a few gap to the leaders. But she is

:22:14. > :22:19.places already. Sarah Groff is in second. The gap to Non Stanford is

:22:19. > :22:24.growing all the time. We can see from this camera angle that Stanford

:22:24. > :22:30.needs it to be 15 seconds or more if she wants to take the standing count

:22:30. > :22:35.and then resume the race in front. It is still possible. Remember it

:22:35. > :22:40.happened to Jonathan Brownlee a year ago. He was in third position, took

:22:40. > :22:42.the punishment, and then took his 15 second count and resumed his race.

:22:42. > :22:45.the punishment, and then took his 15 He was still in third position and

:22:45. > :22:53.went on to win the Olympic bronze medal. Now Stanford can get a good

:22:53. > :23:00.look at the gap she has opened up over Sarah Groff as she heads in the

:23:00. > :23:03.opposite direction. Just looking at some of the results when Non

:23:03. > :23:08.Stanford one in Madrid and had that fantastic final ten kilometres --

:23:08. > :23:13.one in Madrid. She was a good 30 seconds up on all of the other

:23:13. > :23:17.athletes, so are very well placed position right now, not even the

:23:17. > :23:22.first lap down, and thereafter relapsed here. I think she is going

:23:22. > :23:26.to look like the 15 seconds not going to play such a huge part now.

:23:26. > :23:30.to look like the 15 seconds not She has opened up a substantial lead

:23:30. > :23:36.already, and still just over 7.5 kilometres to go. Non Stanford

:23:36. > :23:43.bidding to become the world triathlon champion for 2013. The

:23:43. > :23:47.24-year-old, grown-up in Swansea, lives in Leeds, trains regularly

:23:47. > :23:51.with the Brownlee brothers in the North of England. She has lots to

:23:51. > :23:55.think about here, but what a good start to the race. Only Sarah Groff

:23:55. > :24:01.has managed to stay with her. And Sarah Groff is already four or five

:24:01. > :24:07.seconds off the pace. An explosive start to the final stage of this

:24:07. > :24:13.Hyde Park triathlon for Non Stanford. If she hadn't had the 15

:24:14. > :24:18.second penalty and Gwen Jorgensen had not had the crash, it would have

:24:18. > :24:25.been interesting to see these two go head to head. Stimpson is in about

:24:25. > :24:28.fourth at this stage. But the most comfortable of the runners at this

:24:28. > :24:35.stage is definitely Non Stanford. She's flying along here. Such

:24:36. > :24:43.efficient technique, nice fast turnover, very relaxed arms. Back in

:24:43. > :24:56.the field, Haug arriving with three minutes and 20 seconds deficit. Very

:24:56. > :25:00.difficult for and how -- for Haug, crossing paths with Non Stanford,

:25:00. > :25:07.knowing it is not going to be her day-to-day. Back to Non Stanford who

:25:07. > :25:10.is flying. We mentioned the 32 second ten kilometres changeover she

:25:10. > :25:16.ran earlier in the year, and she is fitter now. It will be very exciting

:25:16. > :25:20.to see minus the penalty what she is capable of running. Bearing in mind

:25:20. > :25:25.that she has recently returned from a broken arm. She broke her arm

:25:25. > :25:30.crashing in the hamburg team race. There was a sprint race on Saturday

:25:30. > :25:34.in which she finished second, and then she was part of the British

:25:34. > :25:40.team that went out to defend their world team relay title, including

:25:40. > :25:44.the Brownlee brothers, and Jodie Stimpson as well. But as she went

:25:44. > :25:48.out on the bike in hamburg she crashed, went to the medical centre,

:25:48. > :25:52.and they said there was no damage done. She continued to feel pain,

:25:52. > :25:56.and when she arrived at training, she got it checked, and it turned

:25:56. > :26:00.out it was fractured. She spent an awful lot of time in recovery. Let's

:26:00. > :26:06.see the gap, two laps to go. What is the difference here between Stanford

:26:06. > :26:11.and Sarah Groff? She has got the 15 seconds. That is what she needed.

:26:11. > :26:16.She needs to open up a gap of around 15 seconds. She can take the penalty

:26:16. > :26:20.now and slotting behind Sarah Groff at the start of the second lap, as

:26:20. > :26:28.Sarah Groff crosses the line. There is a further 14 seconds. 15 seconds

:26:28. > :26:35.do Stimpson, Hewitt and Jackson. -- to Stimpson. She obviously wants to

:26:35. > :26:39.build up a Big Brother so when she takes the 15 second she doesn't feel

:26:39. > :26:48.she has to have a group battle -- a big buffer. One down, two to go for

:26:48. > :26:52.Non Stanford as she continues quest to become champion of the world for

:26:52. > :27:01.2013 with this stop-go penalty still to take. Where is Sarah Groff? As we

:27:01. > :27:05.watch once again some of the back markers, the German who was with the

:27:05. > :27:07.leaders during the cycle, but not comfortable on the run. Samuels of

:27:07. > :27:20.New Zealand as well. Stanford is on the charge here. The

:27:21. > :27:26.gap to Sarah Groff growing all the time. It was 15 seconds at the end

:27:26. > :27:30.of the second -- first lap. They are waiting to welcome her into the

:27:30. > :27:37.penalty box when she chooses. She can take it on any one of the three

:27:37. > :27:42.laps. Interesting that we have not mentioned Helen Jenkins, the Welsh

:27:42. > :27:47.athlete, she missed the Olympic Games from being out with a knee

:27:47. > :27:52.injury. Back to Anja Knapp who did so much work for her training

:27:52. > :27:57.partner and fellow German team member, and now I think perhaps she

:27:57. > :28:02.is just taking it pretty easy around this ten kilometre course, her work

:28:02. > :28:06.done for the day. Back with Non Stanford, our leader, world champion

:28:06. > :28:10.in waiting, but still with the daunting prospect of being asked to

:28:10. > :28:16.stop and stand still and take the 15 second count. That is still to come.

:28:16. > :28:22.Her choice. She can take it on the second or third lap. She does have a

:28:22. > :28:25.chance coming now to eyeball Sarah Groff coming in the opposite

:28:25. > :28:31.direction. And she will figure that the gap is enough, at present, to

:28:31. > :28:37.maintain the lead and put her still in front after she has taken the

:28:37. > :28:41.penalty. That will be a huge boost to her confidence because it must be

:28:41. > :28:45.pretty worrying knowing she has the 15 seconds, but a big gap now, not

:28:45. > :28:51.even halfway through the course, so she has to know things are looking

:28:51. > :29:00.pretty comfortable for her. Here are the chasers, Emma Moffatt, Jackson,

:29:00. > :29:03.Jodie Stimpson taking the corner. Jodie Stimpson, such a fantastic

:29:03. > :29:07.year. She has been running so strongly. She came into Stockholm

:29:07. > :29:11.looking a bit fatigued. She had been training in altitude and sometimes

:29:11. > :29:15.it does not suit all athletes. That might be the with Jodie. -- might be

:29:15. > :29:20.the case with Jodie. Stanford might be the with Jodie. -- might be

:29:20. > :29:24.getting some shelter under the trees at the side there. Good crowds out

:29:24. > :29:30.today in Hyde Park despite the inclement weather. They have come

:29:30. > :29:34.out in force. Everybody keen to rekindle the Olympic spirit from

:29:34. > :29:40.2012, and they are all wrapped up against the chill and the rain, but

:29:40. > :29:44.there -- they are six or seven deep in places in Hyde Park. A couple of

:29:44. > :29:49.hundred thousand out for the Olympic triathlon, the men's Olympic

:29:49. > :29:53.triathlon on August seven last year, and good crowds for the women's

:29:53. > :30:01.event on August four. What a run from Non Stanford so far. Still got

:30:01. > :30:04.a penalty to take as Haug runs along with the Hungarian and Kate Roberts

:30:04. > :30:14.of South Africa, with so much work to do. The Olympics was a massive

:30:14. > :30:15.thing for triathlon, which is the fastest-growing Olympic sport that

:30:15. > :30:24.there is in the last year. There has been an increase in

:30:24. > :30:31.participation, certainly fantastic for triathlon. Anne Haug doing her

:30:31. > :30:35.level best to maintain some sort of semblance of being able to challenge

:30:35. > :30:40.for the world title, but the welcome that Non Stanford gets in transition

:30:40. > :30:48.says it all. 15 second penalty still to come. That was the gap in lap

:30:48. > :30:53.one, enough to take the penalty and emerge in first position, that she

:30:53. > :30:58.might not take it until the last possible opportunity on lap three. I

:30:58. > :31:03.will take a guess and say she will take it now, then she can go into

:31:03. > :31:09.the final lap confident she knows she has done enough. Bouncing along

:31:09. > :31:15.still. Stanford looks absolutely full of running. She has had her own

:31:15. > :31:24.issues during this race, which she has benefited from the crash and

:31:24. > :31:29.mechanical failure of raw the prerace favourite Gwen Jorgensen,

:31:29. > :31:32.and problems for Anne Haug, seizing up on those opportunities and it

:31:32. > :31:37.could well be we are looking at a British double this weekend, with

:31:37. > :31:42.Alistair and that in Brownlee battling for world domination

:31:42. > :31:50.tomorrow -- Alistair Dan Jonny Brownlee. And we have Non Stanford

:31:50. > :31:55.on this Saturday morning. Huge progress being made in the women's

:31:55. > :32:03.race. The 10k time has gone down by over one minute in the last year. A

:32:03. > :32:11.significant improvement. Really is. I would love to see Emma, Gwen

:32:11. > :32:24.Jorgensen and Stanford go head-to-head. Now, the chase group,

:32:24. > :32:28.Sarah Groff in second, a group of six including Andrea Hewitt and

:32:28. > :32:32.Jodie Stimpson. And the leader Non Stanford of Great Britain. Hurley

:32:32. > :32:39.was 15 seconds at the last official check, equating to the penalty she

:32:39. > :32:45.has yet to take and stop -- her lead was 15 seconds. After Madrid, we

:32:45. > :32:50.wondered if she could keep this place up. Very hot weather

:32:50. > :32:56.conditions there. She maintained the pace right the way through. A visual

:32:56. > :33:01.check on the time difference now between Stanford, leader, and Sarah

:33:01. > :33:09.Groff in second, and might be getting closer to 20 seconds.

:33:09. > :33:13.Stanford on her own at the front of the field. Everybody snapping away

:33:13. > :33:18.from the sidelines, getting a picture of the world champion in

:33:18. > :33:23.waiting, but still a significant event to happen with the stop-go

:33:23. > :33:26.penalty coming up soon. That camera distance seeming to close the

:33:26. > :33:30.penalty coming up soon. That camera distance, it is more than that

:33:30. > :33:38.picture would suggest. About 20 seconds or so. Stanford kick away

:33:38. > :33:47.from transition, a fearsome pace, not letting up since. Another out

:33:47. > :33:49.and back years, she will turn, and she will get a definite idea of the

:33:49. > :33:56.and back years, she will turn, and gap she has opened up, so Stanford

:33:56. > :34:01.at the turn, Sarah Groff and the others still heading in the opposite

:34:01. > :34:08.direction, and they will eyeball Non Stanford now, some enviously as she

:34:08. > :34:11.heads on this section, well clear of the field, Groff holding second in

:34:11. > :34:20.her own right and stop and six vying for the final place on the medal

:34:20. > :34:24.podium. I think Jodie is having a slightly tough day on the run.

:34:24. > :34:30.Normally a real front run runner, pushing the pace, but choosing to

:34:30. > :34:36.stick with that fact there are, about six athletes, maybe suggesting

:34:36. > :34:44.she is tired. It has been a long season, racing since back in March.

:34:44. > :34:53.Jodie finished second there, Anne Haug was first, and a long season

:34:53. > :34:58.for these athletes. Hewitt being dropped, and able to keep pace with

:34:58. > :35:04.that group. Stanford will soon get sight of Anne Haug, one half her

:35:04. > :35:09.main rivals for the World Championship title of 2013, and will

:35:09. > :35:17.see the gap she has over Anne Haug is enormous. Katie Hewison of Great

:35:17. > :35:21.Britain having a good race. Kate McIlroy of New Zealand just in

:35:21. > :35:31.front. Stanford only has the motorcycle camera for company now,

:35:31. > :35:34.plus the noisy Hyde Park Road. And Kate Roberts from South Africa, a

:35:34. > :35:42.strong runner, suggesting that Anne Haug is not running at full pace.

:35:43. > :35:50.300 metres to go until the end of lap two. The gap was 15 at the end

:35:50. > :36:03.of lap one, it has grown since then, as Stanford continues to punish her

:36:03. > :36:08.opponents here. So, that penalty still very much on her mind, and it

:36:08. > :36:13.will be tough for her, because her legs are working, but suddenly, she

:36:14. > :36:18.will have to stop and stand for 15 seconds, which will seem like 15

:36:18. > :36:22.minutes as she watches the clock, but kicking away early, sensibly,

:36:22. > :36:30.opening the gap, giving herself the time difference. We saw how it

:36:30. > :36:35.affected Jonny Brownlee last year, coming across the line absolutely

:36:35. > :36:41.spent, and it can sometimes be a shock to the system. You are all

:36:41. > :36:50.out, heart rate at around 180 plus, stop dead, it drops, then you ask it

:36:50. > :36:53.to go again. Stanford takes her punishment, a 15 second standing

:36:53. > :36:59.time, because she did not get the wet suit in the vaults, keeping

:36:59. > :37:06.moving, looking towards the timing official. Then she gets released and

:37:06. > :37:12.the tactic has paid off for Non Stanford, still in first position,

:37:12. > :37:15.having taken the 15 seconds, Non Stanford still leading the World

:37:15. > :37:21.Triathlon Series Grand Final here in London, a terrific performance so

:37:21. > :37:28.far! The crowd responding to her efforts! Brilliant! I felt that,

:37:28. > :37:38.that 15 seconds felt like a lifetime. Still has a lead of 14

:37:38. > :37:42.seconds. The hard work in the second lap in particular has paid off, a

:37:42. > :37:48.final lap to run. If she crosses in first, she will become world

:37:48. > :37:55.champion. And a little pack separating out a bit. The grimace on

:37:55. > :38:00.Jodie Stimpson's face, and Sarah Groff perhaps being reeled in,

:38:00. > :38:07.Andrea Hewitt, so consistent, but not able to go with the front fact

:38:07. > :38:11.of runners. Into the final lap and you cannot see Sarah Groff in the

:38:11. > :38:19.distance, touches Non Stanford's total domination of this 10k run so

:38:20. > :38:24.far, slightly less than 3.3 kilometres to Iran, on the final

:38:24. > :38:35.lap, and we can see how far behind Anne Haug is, -- 3.3 kilometres to

:38:35. > :38:43.run. No sign of Anne Haug, so far behind, it is really insignificant

:38:43. > :38:50.now, because it is Stanford's title for the taking. She is going to be

:38:50. > :38:54.feeling pretty good. You have to take your hat off to Anne Haug,

:38:55. > :38:59.running their with Katie Roberts from South Africa, not giving up,

:38:59. > :39:06.but just a case of finishing this race and seeing what points she can

:39:06. > :39:11.get. Starting badly for her, diving into the Serpentine, way off the

:39:11. > :39:15.pace by the end of lap one, finishing a minute and a half behind

:39:15. > :39:23.the best of the swimmers coming out of the water, failed to make a nine

:39:23. > :39:29.pact despite teaming up with Anja Knapp, generously staying back and

:39:29. > :39:35.waiting for her. -- field to make an impact. They try to make inroads to

:39:35. > :39:39.the lead, but to no avail. Championship aspirations vanishing

:39:39. > :39:46.by the second. Stanford still looks full of running as she takes that

:39:46. > :39:50.out and back and another chance to eyeball her closest rivals led by

:39:50. > :39:56.Sarah Groff, her lead appears to be diminishing over Moffatt, making a

:39:56. > :40:01.move into third position, joined on her shoulder by Aileen Reid from

:40:01. > :40:08.Arlen, Jodie Stimpson throwing away her sunglasses. Someone has a free

:40:08. > :40:13.bearing the crowd. Stimpson clearly frustrated with how things have

:40:14. > :40:17.worked out. She had a chance to win the world title, not quite panning

:40:17. > :40:29.out, and bond down to about 50 position. Andrea Hewitt, the pace

:40:29. > :40:38.was too much. -- bumped to fifth position. We are deep into the final

:40:38. > :40:43.lap, the final chapter of the World Triathlon Series for the women for

:40:43. > :40:53.2013, and it looks as if it will be a world title for Non Stanford from

:40:53. > :40:59.Wales. Ashleigh Gentle going through the picture there, her trainer was a

:40:59. > :41:08.multiple World Cup winner back in the late '90s on the ITU circuit.

:41:08. > :41:15.Moffett has been caught. Emma Moffatt with designs on second place

:41:15. > :41:22.here. Anne Haug has broken clear of Katie Roberts and opened up a little

:41:22. > :41:28.bit of daylight now. There is no way back now for Anne Haug. She cannot

:41:28. > :41:31.win the world title from here, she is so far behind. We saw Emma

:41:31. > :41:37.Moffett and Sarah Groff running together there. Sarah Groff chose to

:41:37. > :41:43.leave Darren Smith last year, Emma Moffett took place and interestingly

:41:43. > :41:49.as just taking the lead from Sarah Groff into second place, so Darren

:41:49. > :41:53.Smith working his magic once again. Sarah Moffett -- Emma Moffett having

:41:53. > :41:59.Smith working his magic once again. a glance over her shoulder, all

:41:59. > :42:04.about getting on the podium here, as Non Stanford comes past the role of

:42:04. > :42:09.bikes, outright leader with a stunning triathlon performance this

:42:09. > :42:13.morning. Always difficult to start at half past eight in the morning,

:42:13. > :42:19.difficult to get your timing right, triathletes like to wake properly,

:42:19. > :42:24.trained properly in the early morning, the men starting later at

:42:24. > :42:32.1:30pm, Emma Moffatt moving past Sarah Groff, keeping tabs for third

:42:32. > :42:40.position. I glanced up at the clock for Emma Moffatt. And Stimpson

:42:40. > :42:45.making a bit of a move, energised and coming alongside Aileen Reid,

:42:45. > :42:51.but it is Stanford who leads them through by a comfortable margin,

:42:51. > :42:57.even after her 15 second kind, her lead was still 14 seconds, a

:42:57. > :43:04.remarkable run so far with just 1800 metres to go. Jodie Stimpson perhaps

:43:04. > :43:10.looking into the crowd, her niece is here, for lucky mascot, really

:43:10. > :43:16.grimacing, really tired now, try to see if she can hang onto one of

:43:16. > :43:24.those podium places. Stimpson with a second wind. She picked up her son

:43:24. > :43:30.grasses -- sunglasses and threw them into the crowd, which seemed to

:43:30. > :43:34.kick-start her race. The rain coming down, the squinting of the eyes to

:43:34. > :43:41.quayside some water, as she approaches Sarah Groff, currently in

:43:41. > :43:46.bronze medal position. Andrea Hewitt, always a solid swimmer and

:43:46. > :43:54.good on the bike, just travelling when coming off two wheels and

:43:54. > :44:01.attacking the 10k. They are so well spread as Stimpson gets closer to

:44:01. > :44:05.Groff, Stimpson into the vision, gritting her teeth, it is painful

:44:05. > :44:10.for Jodie Stimpson, but taking third position away from Sarah Groff.

:44:10. > :44:17.Aileen Reid from Ireland tries to go with her. As Stimpson gone too fast

:44:17. > :44:23.year? She might join Non Stanford and Emma Moffett on the podium.

:44:23. > :44:32.Stanford starts to soak up the atmosphere now. No sign of her

:44:32. > :44:37.tiring. Bouncing along. Moffatt in second, Stimpson third, read trying

:44:37. > :44:45.to stay with them, but she might be broken. -- Aileen Reid trying to

:44:45. > :44:50.stay with them. Is Stanford knows when she can go and when she cannot.

:44:50. > :44:58.Jodie Stimpson just hounding her down. Clinging onto the place.

:44:58. > :45:03.Trying to move herself back into the picture, into the frames, and it

:45:03. > :45:11.looks like she is fast approaching on Emma Moffatt. Maybe she went to

:45:11. > :45:18.LA? -- too early? Death look at the league that Stanford has. All of

:45:18. > :45:25.that despite having to stop because of a network meant violation. 15

:45:25. > :45:31.seconds penalty. She will learn from that. Moffatt in second, the battle

:45:31. > :45:34.for third between Aileen Reid of Ireland and Jodie Stimpson of Great

:45:34. > :45:39.Britain. Sarah Groff might have pushed too hard that the early

:45:39. > :45:45.stages, relegated to fifth position. Alice Betto six. That is Emma

:45:45. > :45:53.Jackson in seventh. The second Australian coming through. This is

:45:53. > :45:58.not where it is about the body, it is about the mind. This has been a

:45:58. > :46:07.tough race in tough conditions. They have everything still to play for.

:46:07. > :46:12.Stimpson just about holding on to Aileen Reid. Jodie Stimpson might

:46:12. > :46:16.get involved in the sprint finish. Aileen Reid looks more comfortable,

:46:17. > :46:21.but Stimpson comes again. Not letting Aileen Reid break free, but

:46:22. > :46:28.out in front, Non Stanford can taste victory now. Well inside the final

:46:28. > :46:35.kilometre. What a brilliant race for Non Stanford. The whole event has

:46:35. > :46:42.been full of drama and incident with Gwen Jorgensen's affair on the bike

:46:42. > :46:49.outside the palace with her crash. The Germans's desperate attempt to

:46:49. > :46:52.get back in, and the wet suit violation for Non Stanford and the

:46:52. > :46:57.stop-go penalty which she took at the last moment. Into the last 500

:46:57. > :47:06.metres now, and Non Stanford is cruising to victory. Well, an

:47:06. > :47:09.outstanding performance, and we are about to witness a third British

:47:09. > :47:18.athlete to win the world Championships. Stimpson dropped by

:47:18. > :47:21.Eileen Reid, daylight between the Irish triathlete and Jodie Stimpson,

:47:21. > :47:24.and it seems to be going. She looked the more comfortable of the two and

:47:24. > :47:30.it looks like Stimpson might end up finishing in fourth, which is always

:47:30. > :47:35.the worst to finish in, because Emma Moffatt is in second, and Aileen

:47:35. > :47:43.Reid is closing in on Moffatt. Stanford moves into a sprint to

:47:43. > :47:48.round off this world Triumph leaked -- triathlon series for 2013. At

:47:48. > :47:54.last she can smile. She deserves all the applause and praise today. She

:47:54. > :47:58.can pick up the flag, the Welsh flag for Non Stanford. The sprint is over

:47:58. > :48:02.and it is just down to a lap of honour at the end of the race for

:48:02. > :48:10.Non Stanford of Great Britain. A sensational race, culminating in a

:48:10. > :48:17.magnificent victory for Non Stanford. Non Stanford is the

:48:17. > :48:22.champion of the world! Two hours and one minute and 33 seconds. And there

:48:22. > :48:28.is a sprint for second between Moffatt, who is hobbling through,

:48:28. > :48:33.and Aileen Reid of Ireland. Stimpson has been dropped to fourth. Aileen

:48:33. > :48:39.Reid takes it away from Moffatt within 50 yards of the line. She

:48:39. > :48:42.joins Stanford on the podium, and Moffatt is third. A gutsy

:48:42. > :48:47.performance yet again from Jodie Stimpson. She grimaced her way

:48:47. > :48:56.through that run. She picks up fourth position. Emma Jackson is in

:48:56. > :49:02.sixth, falling over the line, followed by Sarah Groff, who was

:49:02. > :49:12.seconds -- for so much of the race. What a finish for Non Stanford.

:49:12. > :49:15.World champion for 2013. Perhaps a slightly disappointing day for Jodie

:49:15. > :49:19.Stimpson, but with the points she gains today, not making the podium

:49:19. > :49:29.today, but she will make the podium in the world Championships. Stimpson

:49:29. > :49:38.and Stanford, the two British triathletes, and Stanford is holding

:49:38. > :49:43.up the Welsh flag again. What a season for her. A breakthrough,

:49:43. > :49:51.standout season with victory in Madrid. Second place behind Haug in

:49:51. > :49:58.hamburg. Second place in Stockholm, all coming good. And she will be

:49:58. > :50:03.crowned as the 2013 ITU world triathlon series champion. It looked

:50:03. > :50:14.at the start as if it would all be about Haug, but it didn't quite

:50:14. > :50:22.happen. Haug And your Ganson in pole position to become world champion,

:50:22. > :50:26.but they both had issues -- Haug and Gwen Jorgensen. Confirmation of the

:50:26. > :50:28.final results. A comfortable win for Non Stanford. Aileen Reid was second

:50:28. > :50:41.for Ireland. Emma Moffatt in third. Non Stanford is the champion of the

:50:41. > :50:46.world for 2013, joined on the world triathlon series podium by Jodie

:50:46. > :50:57.Stimpson in second, and Haug holding on for third. In third place,

:50:57. > :51:03.representing Germany, Annie Haug! A disappointing end for her, fighting

:51:03. > :51:08.back the tears it seems, coming here with a realistic prospect of

:51:08. > :51:16.becoming champion of the world, but it didn't happen for her today.

:51:16. > :51:27.Third place in the world triathlon series standings for 2013. Beaten

:51:27. > :51:33.today by Jodie Stimpson. Did not make it onto the podium for the race

:51:33. > :51:36.itself, but stands alongside her compatriot, Non Stanford. Second in

:51:36. > :52:01.the world for 2013. And in first place, a new world

:52:01. > :52:05.champion, representing Great Britain, Non Stanford exhibition

:52:05. > :52:07.Mark Stanford is the champion of the world for 2013 after a sensational

:52:07. > :52:24.finish. It could be the start of a very

:52:24. > :52:29.British double this weekend with the Brownlee brothers hoping to

:52:29. > :52:32.replicate their Olympic performance. They will go head-to-head with

:52:32. > :52:40.Javier Gomez for the men's title on Sunday. Ladies and gentlemen, please

:52:40. > :53:01.rise for the playing of the national anthem of Great Britain.

:53:01. > :53:30.So, the national anthem rings out within earshot of Buckingham Palace.

:53:30. > :53:38.At last, Stanford can only enjoy the moment, and she will be back to

:53:38. > :53:42.cheer on her training partners, Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee

:53:42. > :53:47.tomorrow. I cannot put it into words how I feel. I go from related to

:53:47. > :53:53.nearly crying. I could not quite believe it. It has all happened so

:53:53. > :53:59.quickly. I cannot quite believe it, the way the race panned out. I think

:53:59. > :54:05.it was about the person who were sensible and kept their head. You

:54:05. > :54:08.made it a tough watch for the fans with a penalty, and a bit tougher

:54:08. > :54:16.for yourself. When you heard about it, what went through your mind? I

:54:16. > :54:22.did Johnny Brownlee! I knew I had to go out hard, and I knew I could

:54:22. > :54:24.break the mercifully, so a 25 seconds I thought I had to take it

:54:24. > :54:28.early and get out of the penalty box seconds I thought I had to take it

:54:29. > :54:30.as quickly as possible. I had to not given the chance to get back in

:54:30. > :54:34.contact. It was hurting on the last given the chance to get back in

:54:34. > :54:39.lap so I was glad to see it when I came to the finish line. How much

:54:39. > :54:44.were you aware of the drama around you? It was really unfortunate on

:54:44. > :54:47.that corner. I heard someone go down behind me and me got feedback it was

:54:47. > :54:51.Gwen Jorgensen, and it's a shame because you do not want to have a

:54:51. > :54:55.world title come to you that way. It would have been great to have her in

:54:55. > :54:59.the run and beaten her that way. But you have to keep your wits about you

:54:59. > :55:04.on the course. It is notoriously slippery, so we were prepared for

:55:04. > :55:12.that. Aileen Reid, congratulations, how does it feel? Fantastic,

:55:12. > :55:16.surprising, amazing. What was it like to be racing out there? I

:55:16. > :55:20.wished it was a sprint distance because we had four laps on the bike

:55:20. > :55:24.and I was freezing. I was freezing, so I thought everyone else was, so

:55:24. > :55:31.just keep going and hopefully people will drop out and you have more of a

:55:31. > :55:36.chance. Jodie, huge congratulations, you are this year 's World Series

:55:36. > :55:43.runner-up, how does it feel? It's amazing. I was giving all I could

:55:43. > :55:49.give, but then second in the series, OK, I will take that. That race was

:55:49. > :55:52.so dramatic. How much information did you get about what else was

:55:52. > :55:57.going on and how much were you trying to focus on your own race in

:55:57. > :56:01.these conditions? To be honest, on the bike, it was just try to stay

:56:01. > :56:06.near the front and I properly stayed there a bit too long. Stay upright

:56:06. > :56:12.or go into the back and risk coming off. Then we know that Gwen

:56:12. > :56:16.Jorgensen came off and Non Stanford have the time penalty. On the run, I

:56:16. > :56:20.couldn't get my shoes on because my hands were so cold. But the race

:56:20. > :56:26.wasn't perfect, but it ended on a high in the end. Your best season

:56:26. > :56:32.ever, and he finished in front of a home crowd in this way. You must

:56:32. > :56:36.feel great. I am ecstatic. All of my family is here and it's brilliant. I

:56:37. > :56:42.feel great. I am ecstatic. All of my finally got to race here. I did last

:56:42. > :56:49.year, and to finish like that, it is good. Great to see those tears of

:56:49. > :56:53.joy. Congratulations. Thank you. That must be one of the toughest

:56:53. > :56:57.races you have ever had. One of the toughest days in the office so far,

:56:57. > :57:02.but I am glad I won the bronze medal. It was a really hard fight

:57:02. > :57:07.and I am more than happy. Not the perfect day, but that is sport, you

:57:07. > :57:11.never know what happens. What a dramatic and emotional end to what

:57:11. > :57:15.has been a very exciting world triathlon series for the winning

:57:15. > :57:19.this year. And this race was the perfect example of just how

:57:19. > :57:23.unpredictable this sport can be. And there is plenty more sport to look

:57:24. > :57:29.forward to this weekend. Including, of course, the men's grand frying or

:57:29. > :57:35.where the Brownlee brothers and Spain's Javier Gomez -- the grand

:57:35. > :57:40.final. Before that at 9:30am, Mo Farah will compete in the great

:57:40. > :57:44.North run, fresh from his 5000 and 10,000 metre double at the world

:57:44. > :57:49.championships. And in any -- if any of this inspires you to take part

:57:49. > :57:54.yourself, check out our new website to check out what is going on near

:57:54. > :57:58.you. That is all from us here at Hyde Park today. Do join us tomorrow

:57:58. > :58:00.for the men's race. We will see you then.
