Welcome to London's Hyde Park the climax of the 2013 World | :00:22. | :00:31. | |
Triathlon Series. After seven races across four continents, the battle | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
to become this year's world champion has come down to the wire and still | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
two Brits in with the chance to take the title, Non Stanford and Jodie | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Stimpson. Here is how things stand ahead of this year's Grand Final. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
Assistant podium performances means there is just 13 points dividing the | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
top three women. It is really winner takes all. | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
Whoever crosses the line first becomes a world champion. It is the | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
top four results of the season that count towards these rankings and | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
Jodie Stimpson's was weakened in Stockholm. She needs to win in | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
London and hope the top three women finished third or lower. | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
Very close and the Brits have a lot of support in the crowd. Let us hear | :01:25. | :01:42. | |
from the women. I glad to be back in London in 2011. -- I am glad to be | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
back in London in 2011, some humbling experiences, and I changed | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
my career completely again, switched coaches, and it has been working out | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
well. I am going up against two girls that will be tough to beat, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
excited to go out there, their tactics are the same, swim to your | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
best, cycled to the best and run with everything you have. I am | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
looking forward to finish the season with a medal would be nice, yeah, | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
and I have fought for so long, and it is the final and I want to make | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
it and I will be glad when it is over. It is a flat course. She was a | :02:29. | :02:41. | |
flat running girl. I think she is the favourite. Number one at the | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
moment. I would put my money on her. I do not have a plan, just go out, | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
give it everything and see what happens. People say I am an | :02:51. | :03:05. | |
overnight success, but it has taken a lot, lots of training, surrounded | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
by people, not an overnight success, just so happened that all that hard | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
work came of this year. All the races this year came down to the | :03:16. | :03:24. | |
run. I have to be prepared for that. When was doing well in Stockholm, | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
but I ran faster than harm in Madrid. -- Gwen was doing well. Do | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
not write me off yet. London is weird I want to perform, home soil. | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
Racing at home, you cannot put it into words. You have to race as hard | :03:44. | :03:53. | |
as you can. Lots of fast swimmers in the field, lots of cyclists, and the | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
runners, Gwen Jorgensen, Non Stanford, Anne Haug, I will have to | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
try and keep up. The girls are ready, which means it | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
is race time, time to join the commentary team. | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
Went -- welcome to us all day and for gay Grand Final. -- foggy. | :04:18. | :04:32. | |
They will go on to the bait for seven laps after two laps of a swim, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
out of the park, down Constitution Hill, around the Victoria Memorial | :04:38. | :04:46. | |
before heading back up the hill and back into the park, completing seven | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
5.7 laps on two wheels. Then the run course, different from the Olympic | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
course, three laps this time, 33.3 kilometre laps, bringing up the ten | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
kilometre to round up the rays. The final of the World Triathlon Series | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
2013, ready to dive into the Serpentine, and away they go. A 1.5 | :05:14. | :05:23. | |
kilometre swim, important to find some clear water to avoid contact | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
with your competitors. It can be dangerous, some getting bumped, some | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
left behind slightly. We expect the strongest swimmers to surge forward | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
in the early stages. It is so important to get clear water in the | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
early stages of the swim, not least because the first buoy comes at 250 | :05:46. | :05:54. | |
metres, and you want to be out of that washing machine effect before | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
you head that first one. I called 12.5 degrees, the water | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
temperature, forcing athletes to wear wet suits. Already seeing | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
Andrea Hewitt setting the pace, Non Stanford, and others making the | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
break towards the middle. We will start to see and arrowhead form, | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
with the helicopter shot, and some good crowds out on this soggy | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
morning. The strongest swimmers now starting to dominate heading towards | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
the first turned up by the Serpentine Bridge, which divides | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
this lake in two. We could see the likes of Pamela Oliveira from | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Brazil, a frequent first place an issue in the swimming. Other than | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Pamela, not many standout swimmers. We know that Lucy had some leads, | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
but to date, we have the likes of Alice Betto, Aileen Reid from | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
Ireland, the kind of swimmers we can Alice Betto, Aileen Reid from | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
see up there with Pamela Oliveira. Looks like number 14, Sarah Groff, | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
leading, the American, sometimes laid down on the run, in enjoying | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
these flat conditions, the flattest Waterbury have had to swim in all | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
season. Things can get choppy out in the ocean. Barely any wind to date. | :07:25. | :07:33. | |
Sarah Groff from the United States of America is doing very well. Very | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
comfortable in London. That fantastic race last year at the | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
Olympics, and issuing forth, and a very strong swimmer. Slightly below | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
par season for Sarah, but let us see what you can do in London, very | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
comfortable on this course, knows it well. Non Stanford missed quite a | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
lot of swimming time and training following her crash in Hamburg, | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
resulting in a broken arm. Only able to swim with one arm, now back to | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
full training, and being a little left behind, and a blistering start | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
as Sarah Groff heads the first turned with clear water between her | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
and the next best, then things turning interesting, you do not want | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
to get next to that inflatable yellow buoy, you can get duck tough | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
underneath it, sometimes there can be some argy-bargy going on, and | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
heading south for a few metres before turning and swimming back | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
towards the start. They will exit the water and dived back in for the | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
second lap, good fast times so far. In the junior race, the under 23 | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
race on Friday, some very strong swimming, and looking for around | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
about 18 minutes for this 1500 metres swim. At the halfway point, | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
swimmers exiting around about nine or possibly just under nine minutes. | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
Sarah Groff now has some company at the front, Aileen Reid starting to | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
make a move. There are three in fact. One more short term to make. | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
They will come out of the water, run left, back along the pontoon and | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
dived back in for lap two. Feel a significant break now, about 20 | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
swimmers away, then a gap of about ten meters. At this early stage, | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
that is normally pretty significant, and we can see that lead extend, | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
important that there is a small group going out on the bike. Let us | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
see if it contains Gwen Jorgensen, because if she wins today, she takes | :09:53. | :09:59. | |
the overall title. Non Stanford wins, she will be world champion, as | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
would Gwen Jorgensen. And if Anne Haug Germany wins, she will also be | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
world champion. Emma Moffatt officially first. Sarah Groff | :10:09. | :10:21. | |
demoted to third. Jodie Stimpson is out intent. Gwen Jorgensen just | :10:21. | :10:31. | |
behind her. -- out in tenth. We are keeping an eye out on the union | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
flags. Natalie Milne in 1900 back row, still no sign of Non Stanford. | :10:36. | :10:47. | |
Now in 24th position. Work to do for those in that 22nd behind group. The | :10:47. | :10:57. | |
hope to close some ground now. And now to pick up the bikes after that. | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
Quite well spread. It is. Did not notice Anne Haug coming out there. | :11:05. | :11:13. | |
Getting some shots of Emma Moffatt exiting the first lap, no surprise | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
as she is a strong swimmer. And things starting to unfold at the end | :11:18. | :11:25. | |
of the swim. The swimmers begin to think about the exit of the water | :11:25. | :11:33. | |
and the job to transition where the bikes are part. This is the best | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
swim I have seen from Emma Moffatt. A good result in Yokohama, second | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
there, third in San Diego. She has been solid without being spectacular | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
this season. I wonder if she has saved her best to last. Telegraph | :11:49. | :11:56. | |
managing to hold onto second position. -- Sarah Groff managing to | :11:56. | :12:03. | |
hold onto second position. You mentioned how great that swimming | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
hold onto second position. You was fought Emma Moffatt. We know she | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
is now being trained by Darren Smith in D squad, and few do not improve | :12:09. | :12:18. | |
going into that. There is always room for improvement. Just join the | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
work that Darren has been doing with her and certainly paying off. Number | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
two, Anne Haug, she has a little bit of work to do. Certainly not looking | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
as easy in the water as Emma Moffatt and Sarah Groff out in front, on her | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
own in the middle of the pack, heading back towards the pontoon for | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
the second time. All on her own, cutting quite a lonely figure, and | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
that is the gap between Haug and up towards the leading group, and | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
another pack there, a significant lead that Sarah Groff and Emma | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
Moffatt have opened up over Anne Haug and she has to work hard, | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
hopefully get some help from one or two of the other Germans as the head | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
onto the bike. You would think the German team managers would have some | :13:17. | :13:23. | |
race tactics out there, knowing that Annie is not the greatest swimmers, | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
and with the chance to take the titles, possibly using the likes of | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
Anja Knapp to wait behind butter and helper on the bike. But we have seen | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
Anja Knapp to wait behind butter and Annie not needing much help stop -- | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
weight behind for hard and helper on the bike. Something not quite right | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
for Anne Haug in this stage, third in Stockholm, and the race in | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
Hamburg, which was a sprint distance race, she won that, scenes of | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
celebration in the city of Hamburg that day as Haug came through, the | :13:56. | :14:04. | |
Germans won the relay as well. Known as the quiet assassin. I read an | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
interview and she is meticulous in everything she does on a day-to-day | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
basis, training, nutrition, everything, but not quite getting | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
the swim here today, not quite part of her plan. And the leader going | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
round that third buoy now on the second lap of this 1500 metre | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
course, the field stretching out, second lap of this 1500 metre | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
and around about 12 athletes in that front pack, and if that pack pushes | :14:31. | :14:38. | |
on, there could be a break, which is what you want. The swim almost done, | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
led for most of the second half by Emma Moffatt, Sarah Groff keeping | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
clear of her feet, in second position. The deficit all the way | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
back to Anne Haug is significant. Non Stanford is not too far off the | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
pace, but not with the leaders, and some jostling for position at the | :15:01. | :15:13. | |
next turn. It is rare you see a triathlon so well spread. And | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
anything can happen as they come towards the end of the swim, and | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
then they go from the water to the two wheels, with the bikes parked up | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
seven laps into the park. The roads are closed in central London to | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
allow them to go off and write down Constitution Hill, down to the | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace, in front of bird | :15:36. | :15:44. | |
cage walk. It is a repeat of the spectacular Olympic triathlon from | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
August 2012. 18 minutes of fast swim for these women this morning, very | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
fast indeed, the flat water helping them. Emma Moffat will be first to | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Exeter water. Sarah Groff, an them. Emma Moffat will be first to | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
excellent swim, she led the first lap dash to except the water. Sarah | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
Moffett -- Sarah Moffett, followed by Sarah Groff. A good swim from | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Jessica Harrison. No sign yet of Non Stanford. There | :16:14. | :16:34. | |
she is. She has made up three seconds from the second lap. 20 | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
seconds at the end of lap one. Down to 17 seconds at the end of lap two. | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
A chance for Non Stanford to get involved. Moffett -- my fat -- Sarah | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
Moffett is in the leading group. Various -- there is Jorgensen, | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
Moffett is in the leading group. playing into her hands, this race. | :17:00. | :17:06. | |
Moffett is in the leading group. They have gone from the navy blue to | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
the black, and Stimpson and Stamford will hope to be in the first group. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
They can't get back onto the bike until they have passed the mounting | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
up line, and some of them having problems with the shoes attached to | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
the pedals, and we might see a big group forming. Katie Hugh Whitson -- | :17:26. | :17:38. | |
Katie Hugh listen, swimming a bit behind, but not a bad swim for her | :17:38. | :17:51. | |
on this final race. We'll now ride with the French athlete. Pallant Is | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
going with her. Forcing the pace at the front. She has got some good | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
company. Good cycling talent. We expect a big group to form. Somebody | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
has missed the box with the red -- wet suit. And Non Stanford has not | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
got her wet suit in the box which is an infringement and could result in | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
a penalty. Yes, they know they have to get the wet suit in the box. It | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
is the same for everyone. And how, to get the wet suit in the box. It | :18:25. | :18:42. | |
disastrous swim. She will -- and how Haug hasn't got the wet suit on. Is | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
the gap to significant for her to close? She is in the running to the | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
title. With Stanford having missed the box with the wet suit and Haug | :18:50. | :19:00. | |
so far behind, this plays into Jorgensen's hands. The roads are | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
wet, the likes of Jessica Harrison in the front. She is an attacker and | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
will ride hard into the corners. We can see Haug with not the fastest | :19:10. | :19:19. | |
transition. So close to taking a title, and as yet Germany have not | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
had a woman win the World Championship Series. Sarah Groff is | :19:24. | :19:35. | |
alongside Moffatt, Moffatt there, and Harrison and Sarah Groff forming | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
a leading group of three. We expect a group of maybe a dozen to form | :19:39. | :19:46. | |
quite quickly. I don't see too many of these girls just sitting in, | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
because Jorgensen it has been running a minute faster than every | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
woman in every race, so every lap, they have to work as hard as they | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
can to get rid of her, because if not, it comes down to the run and | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
then it is a foregone conclusion. They are on one of the roads within | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
the park. They Exeter at the grand entrance at Hyde Park Corner before | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
heading under the Wellington art -- they except at the grand entrance. | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
Then they go past the Victoria Memorial. There is the gap. The lead | :20:20. | :20:24. | |
group has two minutes and seconds -- seven seconds off Annie Haug. | :20:24. | :20:44. | |
Groth, Moffatt and Hewison. There. This is where the athletes have to | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
take care that goes the roads are wet. When the rain is a bit damp it | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
makes it more slippery. That was the London home of the Duke of | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
makes it more slippery. That was the Wellington, Asbury house. Now they | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
come towards the Wellington arch. This is normally just a traffic | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
island. All closed off, no traffic today. Under the magnificent | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Wellington arch, going past the Memorial Gates with the stone | :21:10. | :21:26. | |
pillars. There are the names of the Commonwealth soldiers who have been | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
awarded the George or Victoria Cross. Commonwealth Hill is barely a | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
hill. It dissects Buckingham Palace and Green Park. We have Olivera. | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
Harrison. Jodie Stimpson with the front group as well. Good action so | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
far from Jodie Stimpson, the winner in kits built, third in Madrid, the | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
winner in Yokohama. Stimpson was fifth last time in Stockholm. Down | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
towards Buckingham Palace. Quite quiet down here on this Saturday | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
morning. The Spanish rider very comfortable, seventh in the Olympic | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Games, one of those athletes who sits in quietly, but also can be a | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
danger on the run. Is that Haug? She has a problem of some kind. This | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
could be the German tactic, as she is looking, waiting a long time, | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
waiting for Annie Haug. Being overtaken by group of six or seven, | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
waiting for Annie Haug. Being doing the right thing by the team, | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
but no sign of her compatriot yet. This is a difficult position. She is | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
wondering if she is out on the water. Do I get on with my own race | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
or wait for her? This was it. This was her wondering and watching with | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
the brakes on. She went on under the Wellington arch but has a long | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
wait, because we know it was two minutes and seven seconds, the gap | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
from the leaders. Haug Is in contention for the title today, but | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
at the moment, things have not gone according to plan. This front group | :23:18. | :23:25. | |
has to work effectively. Six is a fantastic number of the course. If | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
they take the term they can take a lead over the significant pack which | :23:32. | :23:40. | |
includes Gwen Jorgensen. We will get these terrific pictures still. Jodie | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
Stimpson is in fourth. She has an outside chance of taking the world | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
triathlon series title, but it is really Gwen Jorgensen's victory for | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
the taking. Non Stanford will hope to start making a move and getting | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
involved with the front group. The front group has grown considerably. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
From 15 up to 20 riders. Back Emma front group has grown considerably. | :24:03. | :24:16. | |
-- back-up to Hyde Park Corner. Emma Moffatt taking the lead. We have | :24:17. | :24:23. | |
seen in every race that the bigger the front group, the slower they are | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
probably going to go, so it is hard to get a big pack working properly. | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
As we can see, just over a kilometre between the leaders and Annie Haug. | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
That's a good couple of minutes, and she is a great cyclist and it's not | :24:38. | :24:47. | |
all over yet. We have not got a full look at the pellet on so far. -- the | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
pellet on. Making a move before they look at the pellet on so far. -- the | :24:53. | :25:00. | |
drop past the statue of Achilles. That is a big group, about 20 | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
athletes. They will have to be very committed, and they almost need a | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
leader to get them working well in committed, and they almost need a | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
the pack to prevent Annie Haug from writing them down. -- riding them | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
down. She is in a impossible position. No | :25:17. | :25:33. | |
pace at all as she waits for Haug to catch up. Here we are. The lead | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
group is significant. We have not seen Gwen Jorgensen yet, but I think | :25:38. | :25:44. | |
she is in their somewhere. That means that she is, with her running | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
ability, particularly, Jorgensen she will sit at the back of the group. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
There she is, number one, middle of the group, the tall, slim figure. | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
She's in the right position, with the leaders. Jorgensen's race has | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
started superbly. The Germans still the leaders. Jorgensen's race has | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
trying to get together and form a pair to make some inroads here. That | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
is the Dutch rider coming past. A poor start from her. Out of the | :26:14. | :26:27. | |
saddle, and pushing hard. One or two of the backmarkers trying to get | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
involved as they come towards the end of the first lap. Jodie Stimpson | :26:30. | :26:44. | |
and Natalie Milne. Olivera, and, significantly, Jorgensen is there. | :26:44. | :26:59. | |
23 riders in total in the front group. Still the German tactics are | :26:59. | :27:14. | |
for number 18 Knapp to wait for Haug it to arrive. This is tough for | :27:14. | :27:24. | |
Knapp, she was part of the team in Germany that won the team | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
championship injured -- Hamburg a few months ago. -- that one. A bit | :27:27. | :27:36. | |
of chitchat going on between the lead riders. They need to share the | :27:36. | :27:41. | |
workload here. Well on their way on the second lap now. One or two speed | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
bumps to be absorbed, and the pace is now coming from number five, from | :27:45. | :27:52. | |
New Zealand. 37 in the lead group is Olivera of Brazil. She did have a | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
big shunt during the Olympic cycle stage 12 months ago and hit the deck | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
hard down by the Palace. There is a little mini breakaway at the front. | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
A couple of them trying to get clear, but they can be reeled in | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
quite quickly. We saw the tactic employed by Alistair Brownlee in | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
Stockholm in the previous race. But he left his charge until much later | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
in the race. The Germans have come together at last. Haug And Knapp | :28:19. | :28:27. | |
have joined forces. Can make make a dent in what has become a massive | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
lead for the front group of 23? They are working together but a lot later | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
than anticipated. You would not put your money on Hani Haug -- Annie | :28:37. | :28:47. | |
Haug right now. The way they are riding compared to the front pack, | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
you can guarantee they are riding a lot faster, but still just about two | :28:51. | :28:54. | |
minutes down. Back with the leaders, lot faster, but still just about two | :28:54. | :29:00. | |
following them from the helicopter shot, which means we can distinguish | :29:00. | :29:07. | |
the cyclists through the fog. 32.5 kilometres to ride still. A group of | :29:07. | :29:14. | |
23. Non Stanford has incurred a penalty. 15 second stop-go penalty | :29:14. | :29:22. | |
that she will have to take on any of the laps on the run, of which there | :29:22. | :29:27. | |
are three. She can take it at any time. It is significant, because she | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
is with the leaders at the moment. But she will be aware that the | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
penalty has been incurred. Another penalty has been given to Charlotte | :29:36. | :29:47. | |
Bonin of Italy and is another one to pick up the 15 second penalty, | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
similar to Jonathan Brownlee at the Olympic Games last year. Anne Haug | :29:52. | :30:01. | |
still just two minutes down, the same difference after the first | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
swim, and the first lap of the bike course. Emma Moffatt and Sarah Groff | :30:06. | :30:09. | |
swim, and the first lap of the bike setting the pace on the water. The | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
bad news is Non Stanford did not manage to get her wet suit into her | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
box on transition, picking up a 15 second penalty, so Jodie Stimpson | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
looks the better placed of the British so far. She and Non Stanford | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
both riding with this lead group, currently lead I Jodie Stimpson in | :30:31. | :30:41. | |
the dark strip. They could look like the Americans with that kit. It is | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
Stinson pushing the pace at the front. It looks like she has Non | :30:45. | :30:51. | |
Stanford for company as they head for the second time. -- Stimpson | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
pushing the pace. These athletes cannot afford to sit in and not | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
attempt some sort of breakaway. Gwen Jorgensen has the fastest 10k by | :31:03. | :31:09. | |
over one minute. If you wait for the run, you could know that first place | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
has gone. Possibly Non Stanford and Jodie Stimpson could have discussed | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
an attack. You have to be very committed when you do that. With | :31:19. | :31:25. | |
seven laps in total, you would think that the fourth or fifth would be | :31:25. | :31:33. | |
the time to make a move. So that is, not quite the chase group, a | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
little farther behind, involving the two Germans, Anne Haug, Anja Knapp, | :31:37. | :31:46. | |
around the Victoria Memorial again. The triangle takes them onto bird | :31:46. | :31:54. | |
cage Walk, getting into the direction back towards the parts to | :31:54. | :32:00. | |
complete lap two of seven. The pace is relaxed at the front, partly due | :32:00. | :32:05. | |
to the wet conditions of the roads, and maybe they need to up it, and | :32:05. | :32:13. | |
the Germans will make a dent in this lead and riding as a parent is much | :32:13. | :32:21. | |
safer than a group of 23. Moffatt taking it easy, but a huge pile-up, | :32:21. | :32:26. | |
two hitting the deck, a right royal pile-up at the Palace! Was that Gwen | :32:26. | :32:37. | |
Jorgensen? It could be, we will get confirmation, her race could be | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
over! Something is not right. It looks like Jorgensen is down, | :32:42. | :32:50. | |
desperately trying to fix her bike, she has lost her chained and could | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
have lost her chance to become the champion of the world. Jorgensen | :32:54. | :33:02. | |
cannot get the chain back on, cannot get any purchase, cannot get the | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
rear wheel to turn, a nightmare for the American! Back on now, can she | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
move away? Feedback on the pedals, caught out by the wet conditions, | :33:14. | :33:20. | |
hit the deck hard, she will be sore to say the least, but is she able to | :33:20. | :33:25. | |
continue and have any significant further involvement? It will be | :33:25. | :33:32. | |
interesting. The two German athletes behind her, she will have to work on | :33:32. | :33:35. | |
interesting. The two German athletes and work with them, but Anne Haug | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
will not want to work with her, and all depending if she and her bike | :33:39. | :33:46. | |
are in one piece. What drama! All three of the World Championship | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
contenders having the issues, Abu swim for Anne Haug, the lack of wet | :33:50. | :33:59. | |
suit for Non Stanford at transition, and this crash for Gwen Jorgensen. | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
The second rider came away unscathed and was able to write clear of the | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
accident. Devastating for her world title hopes. A lot to make up from | :34:10. | :34:18. | |
last year's Olympics, going in as one of the dark horses, finishing | :34:18. | :34:24. | |
38th, coming here with such high hopes of making up for that. But it | :34:24. | :34:30. | |
looks like her race might be over unless she gets with the German duo, | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
jumps on the back of that, and can get pulled up back to the front | :34:34. | :34:40. | |
pack. It looks like the Italian, Alice Betto, has decided to move | :34:40. | :34:45. | |
things back up. And neither a look at that incident, and Jorgensen went | :34:45. | :34:54. | |
down face first. And lucky not to bring anyone else down. It looks | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
like one did come down, but managed to get back on the pack. The wet | :34:58. | :35:05. | |
roads proving a real hazard and the pace is significantly lower than | :35:05. | :35:09. | |
normally seen on a dry day at the World Triathlon Series. Disappearing | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
under the trees heading back up towards the end of the second lap | :35:13. | :35:22. | |
and the lead group, now down to our by 21, following the crash with | :35:22. | :35:27. | |
Jorgensen and that other athlete midway through number two. That will | :35:27. | :35:33. | |
and nerve the girls, aware that the roads are quite obviously wet and | :35:33. | :35:38. | |
slippery, but when you see one athlete go down, it can make you | :35:38. | :35:48. | |
nervous and more cautious. Coming towards the end of lap number two, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
and we can check on who is still involved, who has been dropped, who | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
has joined the lead group. A good crowd starting to form, the blue | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
carpet signalling the end of transition and the end of the second | :36:02. | :36:17. | |
lap. We think we have lost Jorgensen. Non Stanford not involved | :36:17. | :36:18. | |
with the crash, so still involved Jorgensen. Non Stanford not involved | :36:18. | :36:23. | |
with leading group. Natalie Milne is there. But Stanford still has that | :36:23. | :36:30. | |
15 penalty to take, which she will take on one of the three laps on the | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
run. And meanwhile, a dejected looking Gwen Jorgensen all on her | :36:36. | :36:41. | |
own. A world champion in waiting and I wonder if she is able to continue. | :36:41. | :36:48. | |
Any significant damage to the bike? And away that the two Germans are | :36:48. | :36:53. | |
behind her and working hard to get back to the leaders pack? Not a lot | :36:53. | :36:59. | |
of team are going on. Andrea Hewitt from New Zealand pushing the pace. | :36:59. | :37:09. | |
-- not a lot of teamwork going on. And Non Stanford and Jodie Stimpson | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
in the middle there. Hopefully keeping out of trouble. Back into | :37:13. | :37:20. | |
the park now. The roads have been closed off all week in Hyde Park for | :37:20. | :37:22. | |
the park now. The roads have been all the various junior events, the | :37:22. | :37:31. | |
under 23 world champions, after long week, swimming, cycling, running | :37:32. | :37:38. | |
action, and the conclusion is the two days of elite racing, with | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
British triathletes in the running for the world title, Non Stanford | :37:41. | :37:51. | |
still has that 15 second penalty. Stimpson and Stanford not split by | :37:51. | :38:03. | |
much on world standings. 1200 points for the wind here today. Hewitt | :38:03. | :38:09. | |
could still become the World Triathlon Series champion for 2013. | :38:09. | :38:18. | |
-- Jodie Stimpson could still become the World Triathlon Series champion | :38:18. | :38:25. | |
for 2013. And her compatriot, Non Stanford, still has to stop for 15 | :38:25. | :38:31. | |
seconds. Jodie has so much confidence, I was reading an | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
interview, and she had hoped for possibly top ten overall finish in | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
this series at the start of the year, but she has matured beyond | :38:39. | :38:45. | |
belief and is so strong now in all three disciplines. At the end of lap | :38:45. | :38:55. | |
three, with four to go, the chasers are desperately trying to hold their | :38:56. | :39:01. | |
way back into contention. I have had no news for a while from Gwen | :39:01. | :39:11. | |
Jorgensen. The tennis courts, one is in play! On a wet Saturday morning | :39:11. | :39:17. | |
and the rain getting harder and heavier. There is the Diana, | :39:17. | :39:23. | |
Princess of Wales Memorial, the stone ring fountain, opened in 2004. | :39:23. | :39:31. | |
We do not want to get ahead of ourselves, but I think if Jodie was | :39:31. | :39:37. | |
to win to date and take the title, she would be the third British | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
female athlete to take it since the world triathlon series, which | :39:41. | :39:48. | |
started 24 years ago, we saw Helen Tucker take the championship title | :39:48. | :39:50. | |
in 2008 and 2011, and Leanda Cave Tucker take the championship title | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
back in 2002. Just pictures they are of the third | :39:53. | :40:18. | |
German athlete, I wonder if she knows what is going on behind her | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
with her team-mates. She has her gloves there, very well prepared for | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
these cold conditions. Back to the second packed with Anne Haug really | :40:27. | :40:31. | |
taking her turn on the frontier. No, that is her team-mate Anja Knapp. | :40:31. | :40:37. | |
taking her turn on the frontier. No, Anne Haug is just tucked in behind, | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
desperately trying to claw back that more than two minute deficit they | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
incurred after their swim, when Anja Knapp was asked to hand back to wait | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
for Anne Haug to arrive, it is now three minutes plus. Jodie Stimpson | :40:53. | :41:00. | |
was first at the end of lap three, the gap off three minutes and 20 | :41:00. | :41:10. | |
seconds to Anne Haug and her group, enormous in triathlon terms. And | :41:10. | :41:16. | |
four laps built to write, and the chance one-minute or one minute and | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
a half could be taken and too much for Anne Haug to keep up. The | :41:21. | :41:27. | |
distinct possibility of a battle for the world title between the two | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
British, Jodie Stimpson and Non Stanford, bearing in mind Non | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
Stanford has a 15 minute penalty to come during the run. The same thing | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
happened to Jonathan Brownlee in the come during the run. The same thing | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
Olympic race last summer and still held on to take bronze. This front | :41:43. | :41:50. | |
group, their pace certainly has been deceptive. I did not think they were | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
working that well together, but must be, because the time between them | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
and Anne Haug is growing, three minutes and 20 seconds, | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
and Anne Haug is growing, three under the Wellington Arch, cleared | :42:04. | :42:13. | |
of tourists and cleared of sightseers today, and people | :42:13. | :42:18. | |
beginning to come out to watch the race. Buckingham Palace Gardens, 40 | :42:18. | :42:24. | |
acres in total on the right, Green Park on the left, freewheeling down | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
Constitution Hill with just under half way still to ride. Just under | :42:29. | :42:37. | |
20 kilometres on two wields. I wonder what is going on in the front | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
pack, difficult to know the disaster is going on behind them, not unlike | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
the Tour de France where they will have an earpiece and team members | :42:46. | :42:53. | |
shouting through what is happening, trouble they not know Gwen Jorgensen | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
is out of the race, or that Anne Haug is over three minutes down. | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
Just coming round, we can see the race starting to come down roads | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
very wet and the triathletes riding very cautiously and I do not blame | :43:09. | :43:15. | |
them. If Jodie Stimpson wins, and Non Stanford finishes second, | :43:15. | :43:19. | |
Stanford will still be world champion. That is the only some I | :43:19. | :43:25. | |
have managed to do in my head in the last few minutes with all the | :43:25. | :43:28. | |
drama. Back row the only sounds I have managed. Shall give everything | :43:28. | :43:37. | |
as it develops. Down into the ten kilometre run and when and how do | :43:37. | :43:42. | |
the penalty will affect Non Stanford. She will have to stop, | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
come out, stands still for 15 seconds, then start running again, | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
always a tough call. Back with the Germans, Anne Haug still in the | :43:52. | :43:56. | |
running for a World Championship title, way off the pace, three | :43:56. | :44:05. | |
minutes down last time we saw. A lone biker on the right-hand side of | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
the road there. The elite triathletes asked to stay on the | :44:09. | :44:15. | |
left-hand side. Just looking at the 10k splits over the course of the | :44:15. | :44:21. | |
year and for Jodie to beat Non Stanford, she has to run at a | :44:21. | :44:26. | |
roundabout 30 seconds faster, quite a lot, so that 15 seconds Non | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
Stanford will sit out half of that time, but Jodie Stimpson needing the | :44:32. | :44:36. | |
run of her life to beat Non Stanford on this run course. | :44:36. | :45:14. | |
How Deep into the fourth lap, 18.4 kilometres to ride as they pass over | :45:14. | :45:21. | |
the New Zealand and Australian War Memorial. Deteriorating conditions. | :45:21. | :45:33. | |
Very difficult triathlon conditions, starting with the cold | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
water of the Serpentine, then the damp streets of central London. And | :45:37. | :45:48. | |
there is Gwen Jorgensen. I think these are recorded pictures, and | :45:48. | :45:54. | |
Jorgensen is out of the race and on her way to the medical centre. As | :45:54. | :46:01. | |
far as we are led to believe, the race is over 30 American. She was | :46:01. | :46:07. | |
the leader in the series for 2013 -- for the American. She arrived in | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
high hopes that she could make an impact, but that crash by the | :46:10. | :46:15. | |
Palace. She is warmly applauded by the grad. The crash by the Palace | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
has put paid to her ambitions -- by the crowd. She cuts a sorrowful | :46:20. | :46:27. | |
figure as she exits the race, and she has officially retired from the | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
London grand finale. All over for your Ganson. -- Gwen Jorgensen. So, | :46:30. | :46:42. | |
Stimpson is in contention for the world triathlon series title. | :46:42. | :46:47. | |
Exchanging a few words with Emma Moffat. Gwen Jorgensen does not like | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
talking to the media at the best of times, so she won't want to talk to | :46:51. | :47:01. | |
anybody at all right now. Devastating for Gwen Jorgensen. | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
Backward Jodie Stimpson again. -- back with Jodie Stimpson. Amazing | :47:06. | :47:12. | |
how Gwen Jorgensen got the transition so wrong. They call it | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
the fourth discipline of the triathlon. A simple mistake of not | :47:16. | :47:23. | |
putting the wet suit in the box. That costing her becoming world | :47:23. | :47:29. | |
champion a possibility. There are still various mathematical | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
possibilities as the race unfolds. At the end of the fourth lap, still | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
possibilities as the race unfolds. a significantly large group. | :47:35. | :47:44. | |
Stimpson is officially in ninth, with the other two fighting behind | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
as we say goodbye again to Gwen Jorgensen. We will check on the gap | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
to the chasers in a moment. It should be around 23 in the lead | :47:53. | :48:04. | |
group, no, it has grown to 24. Bonin Is the last of them through. | :48:04. | :48:09. | |
Crossing over the Serpentine Bridge now, and they are getting welcomed | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
as they come into the transition to complete their fourth lap. The | :48:14. | :48:25. | |
second pack about come through the transition. Coming up to one | :48:25. | :48:30. | |
minute, and still no sign of the German duo, a good couple of minutes | :48:30. | :48:36. | |
behind the second lap. We think that Non Stanford, if she finishes third | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
or below, then Jodie Stimpson will win the race, then Jodie Saint -- | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
Stimpson will become world champion. It was all about Gwen Jorgensen, | :48:47. | :48:55. | |
Stanford and anyhow, but suddenly looks like she might just be about | :48:55. | :49:01. | |
to be favourite to become world champion -- Stanford and and how. It | :49:01. | :49:09. | |
depends how she responds after the 15th -- 15 second penalty. Jodie | :49:09. | :49:18. | |
would need a 32nd lead on Non Stanford, and when she gets the bit | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
between her teeth there will be no stopping her. She came into the race | :49:22. | :49:24. | |
so relaxed, the underdog, and when she gets the bit between her teeth | :49:24. | :49:27. | |
there will be no stopping her. She came into the race so relaxed, the | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
underdog, a nice position to your own race and not bearing in mind | :49:30. | :49:40. | |
that Stanford has the choice of which lap she can take the penalty, | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
where would she do it? I think she would have to do it right at the | :49:44. | :49:48. | |
beginning. It is hard to be going flat out and then stop. We saw | :49:48. | :49:53. | |
Johnny Bramley in the Olympics, and that is difficult. -- Johnny | :49:53. | :49:59. | |
Brownlee. It is not quite as hard when you are mid-run. Deep into the | :49:59. | :50:11. | |
fifth lap of seven now. This triathlon, the first part of the | :50:11. | :50:14. | |
double-header this weekend with the men's race due off at 1:30pm on | :50:14. | :50:21. | |
Sunday afternoon, live on BBC Two, and we have had plenty of drama and | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
excitement so far. The men's race still to come, so a mouthwatering | :50:27. | :50:34. | |
prospect with two days of triathlon. There is the subplot as | :50:34. | :50:40. | |
well developing with the Germans Haug and Anja Knapp, who have joined | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
up with the others, as they determinedly ride through the | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
streets and through the park. Attempting to close the gap. We will | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
have a look at how that gap is. It was three minutes and eight seconds | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
at one point. I think it is down to three minutes and 30 now. Three | :50:59. | :51:06. | |
minutes and 30 seconds between the leaders and this pack, led by the | :51:06. | :51:16. | |
two Germans, Haug Knapp and -- how and -- Haug and Knapp. She has a | :51:16. | :51:26. | |
good chance of running down the front pack, but now looking at that | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
three and a half minute deficit, it will be quite difficult to catch | :51:30. | :51:38. | |
some of these slower runners. The rain falling quite heavily now. We | :51:38. | :51:45. | |
had a dry -ish morning. The forecast just about coming true as the rain | :51:45. | :51:48. | |
starts to fall. Thankfully the helicopter can stay in the air as | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
the riders pass under the magnificent Wellington Arch. I am | :51:53. | :52:00. | |
wondering if anyone is thinking about making a break because it is | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
wet, it will be a bit dangerous and it could be a disaster to come off | :52:04. | :52:08. | |
at this point in the race. The likes of Andrea Hewitt, who knows she | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
can't go as fast as the others, she might think, with the second lap | :52:12. | :52:17. | |
left, she might put the hammer down for the transition with ten or 20 | :52:17. | :52:23. | |
seconds lead on the chasers. Jessica Harrison, formerly of Great | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
Britain, her final world triathlon Harrison, formerly of Great | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
series event under the French colours which has been her nation of | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
choice pretty much throughout her elite triathlon career. Still at the | :52:34. | :52:42. | |
back, Emma Jackson, sitting at the back of the pack where she seems to | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
have spent the entire season. I don't think she is getting any | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
have spent the entire season. I brownie points, but to be honest, | :52:51. | :52:56. | |
the girls in front are much stronger cyclists and she cannot do much, so | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
she might as well wait for the run. She has a great run. We saw her race | :53:00. | :53:04. | |
really well at the Olympics. Harrison has called it a day, I | :53:04. | :53:09. | |
think. She has got a bike problem. She needs a new wheel. She will lose | :53:09. | :53:18. | |
a good deal of time. The front group have ridden away from me French | :53:18. | :53:24. | |
triathlete, Jessica Harrison, she clearly has a mechanical problem. | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
She will be changing the wheel right now. The grit to stick to the tyres | :53:26. | :53:33. | |
and rubber, and that is what has happened. I would not be surprised | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
and rubber, and that is what has if we did not see one or two more | :53:36. | :53:43. | |
retirees by the end of the race. Buckingham Palace originally known | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
as Buckingham house, and became the official royal palace when Queen | :53:47. | :53:51. | |
Victoria came to the throne in 1837. Jessica Harrison realising she | :53:51. | :53:55. | |
has a puncture, and it is dangerous in these wet conditions as the air | :53:55. | :54:01. | |
comes out of the tyre. Harrison going to the area where the spare | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
wheels are kept down in front of Buckingham Palace. We can see the | :54:06. | :54:10. | |
inner quadrant. Magnificent gardens stretching out behind. Jackson still | :54:10. | :54:16. | |
at the back of the pack where she is happy to remain throughout this | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
cycle section. We are back with the Germans, and look at the effort that | :54:22. | :54:32. | |
and how -- at Haug is putting in. Trying to claw back the time. There | :54:32. | :54:36. | |
is no way that she can close the gap. With the effort she is putting | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
is no way that she can close the in on this 40 kilometre bike ride | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
you wonder what she will have left for the run. The end of the fifth | :54:42. | :54:48. | |
lap, and the triathlon has been in process now for one hour and seven | :54:48. | :54:53. | |
minutes and 55 seconds. We still have the last two laps and the ten | :54:53. | :55:00. | |
kilometres to go. We can have a full check with Stanford and Natalie | :55:00. | :55:06. | |
Milne and Jodie Stimpson Wall featuring -- all featuring in the | :55:06. | :55:12. | |
first few times. Joined by some good runners here. But you have to think | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
first few times. Joined by some good that Stimpson and Stanford are the | :55:16. | :55:22. | |
strongest runners still featuring in this elite group. Jodie talked about | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
her legs and how they feel on the road, but she said you do not know | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
until you step off the bike and know if you have your running legs. She | :55:34. | :55:38. | |
has all her family and friends here. It is going to be a pretty exciting | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
occasion for Jodie to be racing on home soil. She spoke about how | :55:44. | :55:51. | |
important it would be to her, the three weeks off after her race she | :55:51. | :55:58. | |
will spend it all but her family. It is getting wetter. The rainfall | :55:58. | :56:00. | |
becoming more and more significant now. And the chasing group are | :56:00. | :56:09. | |
coming through. Jessica Harrison, the puncture cost her 30 seconds in | :56:09. | :56:14. | |
the end. She is riding on her own at the moment. 30 seconds behind the | :56:14. | :56:17. | |
lead group. The chasers are coming through. Jessica said she is going | :56:17. | :56:30. | |
to retire after the race. Katie Hewison is through, one and a half | :56:30. | :56:37. | |
minutes of the pace. Fernandez, number 35, also with the chasing | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
group. The leaders well on their way now. And the time, an energy bar for | :56:41. | :56:54. | |
Stanford and Stimpson. Number three, third in the world triathlon series | :56:54. | :56:56. | |
championship and she will be well aware she has got the 15 pack -- | :56:57. | :57:04. | |
second penalty to come. That is Jodie Stimpson, from Oldbury, in the | :57:04. | :57:09. | |
West Midlands. Well positioned, Stimpson. It could be a battle | :57:10. | :57:13. | |
between Stimpson and Stanford for the world title. Olive Eire from | :57:13. | :57:21. | |
Brazil, number 37, coming through. Number seven is Ashley capital | :57:21. | :57:31. | |
letter gentle -- is Ashley Gentle. 14 in the background, Sarah Groff of | :57:31. | :57:37. | |
the US, group -- a decent runner. She could feature in the top five | :57:37. | :57:41. | |
places today. Number 17 coming through, the Italian, another good | :57:41. | :57:47. | |
swimmer and biker, but has she got the legs for the run? We will find | :57:47. | :57:54. | |
out in the next 20 minutes or so. A bit of information on Ashley | :57:54. | :58:02. | |
Gentle, she was the 2010 world junior champion, and she is one of | :58:03. | :58:07. | |
those athletes in the top sentence and still has her eye on a podium | :58:07. | :58:16. | |
position -- in the top seven. Sato is the leading rider officially. The | :58:16. | :58:24. | |
Germans, they have only taken three seconds out of it during that lap. | :58:24. | :58:30. | |
So, no dent made, no significant margin gained for Haug. You have to | :58:30. | :58:43. | |
be impressed by her determination -- her determination, but she does not | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
like she is giving up. The only thing that can happen is that the | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
front pack give up a little bit and they might gain a bit of time. | :58:50. | :58:56. | |
Heading for the Wellington Arch, coming up the Constitution Hill | :58:56. | :59:02. | |
again. The Wellington Arch originally had an law -- an enormous | :59:02. | :59:05. | |
statue of the Duke of Wellington on top of it, but it was moved and put | :59:05. | :59:13. | |
up again in Aldershot at the top of the arch there which is now adorned | :59:13. | :59:20. | |
with the quad region which represents the Angel of peace coming | :59:20. | :59:25. | |
down onto the chariot of war. Through the memorial gates with just | :59:25. | :59:33. | |
over 8.5 kilometres still to write. Down Constitution Hill again -- | :59:33. | :59:34. | |
still to ride. Familiar sight, the Down Constitution Hill again -- | :59:35. | :59:40. | |
green and gold colours of Australia, Down Constitution Hill again -- | :59:40. | :59:43. | |
Emma Jackson, having a nice little ride around this 40 kilometre bike | :59:43. | :59:52. | |
course. It is getting more and more difficult for the helicopter to | :59:52. | :59:54. | |
bring us the shots as the weather worsens. | :59:54. | :00:02. | |
Three and a half minutes between the leaders and the German period of | :00:02. | :00:12. | |
Anja Knapp and Anne Haug, shaping up nicely from a British perspective as | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
they come down in front of the Victoria Memorial for the | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
penultimate time and the triangle taking them to bird cage walk, the | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
other side of the road before returning again to the park at the | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
other side of the road before top of Constitution Hill. Bird cage | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
Walk. Left-handed now, around this woodland. The chance on the course | :00:40. | :00:44. | |
to get a look at the chasers. Being 3.5 minutes and find, -- behind, too | :00:44. | :00:55. | |
far back. The Germans may not yet be out of the park. Fairly well spread | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
here, everyone riding most of this bike course in single file. It looks | :01:00. | :01:10. | |
like we have an attack on the front there, I can see one rider, one big | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
gap, two riders, then another big gap. We will see who is in front | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
once we track from the back of the course, the camera struggling with | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
the moisture, and up towards the front to see who has made the | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
break. It is Jackson and Bonin at the back. A bit more ardent as we | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
get to the last but one lap. -- a bit more urgency. This is when we | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
had a break in the Stockholm race, which proved to be a winning break. | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
You have to be committed when doing an attack, no point doing that for | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
ten seconds, Alistair Brownlee put his head down and did not look back, | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
which paid off. Absolutely. Yuka Sato of Japan, possibly ending up | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
with a season's best to date. A lot of athletes who have not featured, | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
possibly not seeing the problems that beset Gwen Jorgensen, and Anne | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
Haug, and the 15 second penalty for Non Stanford. One athlete in that | :02:27. | :02:39. | |
front pack is Ai Ueda from Japan. In 2013, certainly picked up her game, | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
and a decent runner, I would expect 2013, certainly picked up her game, | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
to see her in the urgent stages of the run. Taking the Bell, then one | :02:48. | :03:00. | |
more lap to ride. It would be nice to see an attack, making it | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
exciting. Some might try to set up a shot at the lead. Maybe Non | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
Stanford, who knows she has a 15 second penalty to come, and as they | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
fly over the Palace of Westminster here, the helicopter steering clear | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
of the cloud. If Non Stanford knows she has a 15 second penalty to | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
come, maybe she will try to make up for it and cancel it out by getting | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
herself 10-12 seconds in front at the end of the bike course, possibly | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
at tactic she will employees. We will see her decision as the riders | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
come back towards where it all started again to conclude lap. You | :03:40. | :03:47. | |
come back towards where it all can see in the back, some of the | :03:47. | :03:54. | |
athletes having a bit of a chitchat, a bit of a tell-tale sign that the | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
pace has dropped and they are cruising around what is meant to be | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
the last lap very shortly. This is something the Brownlee brothers | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
prefer not to do, taking it out hard, some prefer to have a little | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
prefer not to do, taking it out break in the last lap. On the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
right-hand side, the Japanese riders. A determined move to the | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
front by Non Stanford. 17 minutes and 25 seconds. Stanford moves to | :04:23. | :04:31. | |
the front. And it is the end of lap six with one to go, taking the | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
bell, Stimson keeping out of trouble. Emma Moffatt, who has had a | :04:37. | :04:44. | |
horrific race so far, doing plenty of the work. With one lap to go, the | :04:45. | :04:59. | |
Japanese cross first. Rebecca Robisch the best of the Germans | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
today. Natalie Milne on course for a personal best today. And a good | :05:05. | :05:13. | |
opportunity to get involved for Stanford and Stimpson, completing | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
the bike, and recording her best ever result. Back with the Germans | :05:16. | :05:25. | |
now. We expect the time between them to have shrunk now. But not | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
significantly. They were not even back in the park, still a way to go. | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
Vanessa Raw, we have not seen her yet, racing very well in Stockholm. | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
Sadly not making the front pack today, which is unusual for Vanessa. | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
She has a strong swim, but pushing this second pack, seeing if they can | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
claw back a few seconds before the run. Vicky Holland is also in the | :05:52. | :06:00. | |
race, finishing fourth in Stockholm, lots of British interest bill in | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
this final World Triathlon Series race of 2013. All began in Auckland | :06:06. | :06:13. | |
one by Anne Haug, when Jorgensen took the win in San Diego, coming | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
from a long way back. In Yokohama, Gwen Jorgensen one again. Stanford | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
had her maiden win in Madrid still is the end Kitzbuhel in the Austrian | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
apps, it was Jodie Stimpson. Gwen Jorgensen triumphed again in | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
Stockholm. It is all about the series of eight races over the | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
year. Although Jackson was prerace favourite to become world champion | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
today, -- although Gwen Jorgensen was prerace favourite to become | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
world champion today, hard bicycle crash has played into the hands of | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
Stanford or Stimpson, dependent on this 15 second penalty that Stanford | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
has to undertake. And we have Rachel from Holland, the current European | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
champion, in the front pack, not seeing her taking much of a turn on | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
the front. Saving her legs for the 10k run. Stimpson and Stanford, in | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
close proximity. Stanford starting to think about this penalty she has | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
to take. A brilliant runner. And this is what it was all about. That | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
wet suit did not make it into the box, and she will serve a 15 second | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
penalty for equipment out of the box. It is harsh, but she knows the | :07:45. | :07:52. | |
rules. Really harsh. But if all athletes threw down their wet suit, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
the transition area would be a mess, it has to be one rule for | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
everyone. Pretty harsh because half was in the wet box. I do not know | :08:01. | :08:08. | |
what she was thinking. I would like to say inexperienced, but she is | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
not. Inexperienced at the start of this year, but not now. The Germans | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
now complete their sixth lap, one more to go for them. No timing that | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
time, we know it was three minutes, 27 seconds last time. Three, 23, | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
taking a further four seconds, but no significant move by Anne Haug and | :08:30. | :08:41. | |
Anja Knapp, joined in this group by Maaike Caelers and one or two macro | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
others. The only positive thing in the last two macro laps is not | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
losing any more time, but losing a huge amount in the first half and of | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
course in the swimming as well. Haug certainly giving it everything. But | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
with so many good writers, it was always going to be a tough call. -- | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
riders. I wondered what was going on with Anne Haug, not a great swimmer, | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
but to get so far behind. Just difficult times for her. She | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
separated from her coach, Darren Smith, who has turned her around in | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
the last two macro years from pretty much a nobody up to an athlete that | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
is chasing the World Championship title. A change of circumstances, | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
back to the German federation, quite pleased to get her back, I think, | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Anne Haug, and they went on to win that relay team really in Stockholm | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
where she also won the individual sprint there, but things not going | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
in the right direction since. Finishing third in Stockholm behind | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Gwen Jorgensen and Non Stanford. That's the place in Stockholm put | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
her into contention for the World Triathlon Series, but with the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
dreadful swim here in the early morning in Hyde Park, that has left | :10:13. | :10:21. | |
her with a mountain to climb. Helped along by Anja Knapp, 18, and the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
rest of this group who are desperately trying to bridge the | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
gap, but it has been a thankless task, just a couple of seconds each | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
lap, sometimes we can see riders chasing down a gap of one minute or | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
more during a 40 K right, but has not happened for the Germans and the | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
rest of their group. If you look at not happened for the Germans and the | :10:43. | :10:50. | |
the style of Anne Haug's riding, in that a row position, she looks like | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
she is giving it her all, and surprisingly that they have not | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
managed to claw back more time, because the front pack has not | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
looked particularly tidy, but it just goes to show the pace they are | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
riding is obviously significantly faster than the Germans. Not that it | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
has anything to do with Emma Jackson, still at the back as she | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
was at the start, she just sits at the tail end, does none of the work | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
at the front, keeps herself out of trouble, nothing in the rules of the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
old system of triathlon when drafting was not committing. It was | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
impossible to police, of course, and Jackson would have to do plenty of | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
work, but in drafting races, she is able to sit there and enjoy the | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
ride. And why not? If you can. But playing a very sensible race. Emma | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
Jackson has a great run, knows this cause well, seven that the Olympics, | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
second in Kitzbuhel, seventh in Hamburg, very fit coming into this | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
race, and it is now back to Anja Knapp they're really trying to push | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
the pace on this last lap. Trying to bring back that 3.5 minutes. May be | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
taking a few seconds out of the lead in this final lap coming through the | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
memorial gates once again. And heading on to partly on for this | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
last little rectangle at the final lap on the bike. Devastating for | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
Anne Haug. She has had a sensational season, opening up with winning in | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
Auckland, both in San Diego, second in Madrid, first in Hamburg, beating | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
Non Stanford, third in Stockholm, and all falling apart in the final | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
and most important race. And swimming conditions were so good, | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
with flat water, plenty of space, not working out for hard. We will | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
find out what happened after the race. But it is looking like it | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
might be one where she goes home empty-handed. She is leading this | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
group of six along, but the leaders meanwhile are starting to think | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
about the arrival in transition for the final time. Sarah Groff moves | :13:17. | :13:24. | |
forward to take it up at the front. Out of the saddle, stretching them a | :13:24. | :13:30. | |
little. Stanford and Stimpson not letting them get too far away. | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
Reaching down shortly to undo the Velcro straps on their shoes, giving | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
them the quickest possible transition, needing to get off right | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
before the dismount line. The wheels still turning quickly, edition in | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
their feet on top of the pedals to jump off over to their allotted | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
space in transition, Park thereby, very careful to get everything in | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
space in transition, Park thereby, the box. -- park their bicycles. | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Picking up their running shoes, leaving helmets behind, and then a | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
10k run. Emma Moffatt the Queen of transition, waiting late to get her | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
feet of the shoes. Resting feedback on to the pedals, crews in. -- | :14:23. | :14:35. | |
cruise in. Sarah Groff just about ready to go, Stanford and Stimpson | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
cruise in. Sarah Groff just about shoulder to shoulder, and remember | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
that Stanford has a 15 second penalty. The bike is over, running | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
towards transition, Stanford leaving them in, will she go in early for | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
towards transition, Stanford leaving the penalty? A huge group coming | :14:50. | :14:58. | |
into transition to get the. Stimpson's dreams of becoming the | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
World Triathlon Series champion of the world for 2013 very much alive. | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
Stimpson arrives at her parking stand. Stanford there as well. The | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
wet suit is in the bogs, but too late for her. Stimpson struggling | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
with her left shoe. She cannot get her foot in the shoe, getting left | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
behind, then try athlete is exiting transition at least before Stimpson | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
got her left shoe on. I can tell you what happened, their hands are | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
freezing, and they cannot coordinate themselves. She just could not get | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
her foot in. The sensible riders were wearing gloves today. Out they | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
go, and Stanford hits the front. Kicking clear of transition. She has | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
a 15 second stop-go penalty to take and it will be her choice as to | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
which lap she takes it on, the first, second or third. This was | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
Stimpson coming into the transition. Her hands frozen, and she could not | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
get her left shoe on. The right she went on straightaway. The left one | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
would just not going. -- the right shoe. Sometimes they go on to the | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
run with the helmet on because they physically cannot get the clip | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
open. Finally Stimpson got the shoe on, and she's on her way. Stanford | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
has kicked clear. This is her tactic. It could be she feels she | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
has got the measure of the rest of them in running terms, and with no | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
Gwen Jorgensen and Haug to content which you might be the best of the | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
runners today. She might think she can open up a 15 second lead, take | :16:43. | :16:48. | |
the stop-go penalty and still give herself a chance. 500 metres into | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
the race and it looks like she has about five seconds on the pack | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
behind her. When I saw her run in Madrid I was so impressed. She has | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
behind her. When I saw her run in such a wonderfully relaxed | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
technique. This was the transition from Stanford. This is where she saw | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
the mistake, the wet suit by then had been put into the box, but it | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
wasn't there at the end of the swim, which is what cost her. SPD | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
transition. -- a speedy transition. Yes, but eventually the clip came | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
off and away she went. These are the chasers, one to wearing the scars of | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
battle. The Chinese rider has clearly hit the deck during the run. | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
Haug Is starting to prepare for transition. Stanford on the way. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Sarah Groff is next best in second. Looks like Emma Moffat is holding | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
third. The gap between Stanford and Sarah Groff is about five seconds, | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
maybe less, three seconds at this stage. Then a further eight or nine | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
seconds back to Sarah Moffatt. Stanford kicking clear of the pack | :17:58. | :18:06. | |
as the group containing Haug and Anja Knapp arrive. The gap is three | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
minutes and 20 seconds. They took another four seconds they're out of | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
the lead during the final cycle lap. Haug, she does not look like she's | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
running comfortably. Grimacing as she arrives at the stand. Let's see | :18:24. | :18:33. | |
how her transition goes. She has to hope she has her best running legs | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
on if she is going to salvage anything in this last race of the | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
series. Those are the visor and gets a helping hand from Anja Knapp, with | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
an awful lot of work to do now for those two. Three laps to go. A | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
slightly altered course to the Olympics last year. Stanford is deep | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
into lap one, practically sprinting through the first 500 metres here. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Terrific start for Non Stanford. Plenty to offer here, and Jodie | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Stimpson is quite a way behind. Yes, she mentioned a few weeks back that | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
she trains with her partner, David McNamee, regular top-10 finisher, | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
and he has trouble keeping up with her on the track. Let's not forget | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
that Stanford has to take the standing count the 15 seconds rather | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
like a boxer and then head back onto the course. She will hope to build | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
up a gap of something approaching ten or 15 seconds. She is absolutely | :19:37. | :19:46. | |
flying. It is like the pace of a 1500 metre runner. Sarah Groff | :19:46. | :19:52. | |
cannot even stay with her at this stage. There is the gap to Emma | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
Moffat and the group which includes Jodie Stimpson, who is in equal | :19:59. | :20:05. | |
fifth at the moment. What a gutsy move from Non Stanford. What a | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
season she has had. A breakthrough season in her first -- with her | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
first win coming in Madrid, then the second in Hamburg, second in | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Stockholm, and she could round off the season potentially with victory | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
and become the world champion. 15 the season potentially with victory | :20:22. | :20:31. | |
seconds to stand still, that is the penalty for not getting her wet suit | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
in the box. Compare the running style Stanford to Sarah Moffatt, | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
extraordinarily different. There is Stimpson of Great Britain. Jackson, | :20:40. | :20:46. | |
who was at the back of the pack throughout the cycle is in sixth. | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
Andrea Hewitt looking like she is struggling with the pace. And we | :20:50. | :21:07. | |
have lost Vanessa Raw, helped away to the medical centre, we can see | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
that from the commentary position. The main focus will be on one of the | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
other British triathletes as Non Stanford, from Wales, goes about her | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
business. The tactic is clearly to open up a gap and see how much of a | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
gap she can put over Sarah Groff and the rest of the chasing pack as they | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
approach the end of the first lap. 3.33 kilometres to conclude the | :21:31. | :21:41. | |
10,000. I think she will take the penalty as if she is doing a rap on | :21:41. | :21:45. | |
the track. Then she will go again. It is going to be tough, but she | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
will be used to doing it in training, even though it is a | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
slightly shorter rest than used to if she was doing repetitions on the | :21:52. | :21:59. | |
track. Haug, she is moving up through the field and seems to have | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
rediscovered her Mojo after a dreadful swim and her lack of | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
ability on the two wheels to close a gap to the leaders. But she is | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
making her way and made up a few gap to the leaders. But she is | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
places already. Sarah Groff is in second. The gap to Non Stanford is | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
growing all the time. We can see from this camera angle that Stanford | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
needs it to be 15 seconds or more if she wants to take the standing count | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
and then resume the race in front. It is still possible. Remember it | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
happened to Jonathan Brownlee a year ago. He was in third position, took | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
the punishment, and then took his 15 second count and resumed his race. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
the punishment, and then took his 15 He was still in third position and | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
went on to win the Olympic bronze medal. Now Stanford can get a good | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
look at the gap she has opened up over Sarah Groff as she heads in the | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
opposite direction. Just looking at some of the results when Non | :23:00. | :23:03. | |
Stanford one in Madrid and had that fantastic final ten kilometres -- | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
one in Madrid. She was a good 30 seconds up on all of the other | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
athletes, so are very well placed position right now, not even the | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
first lap down, and thereafter relapsed here. I think she is going | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
to look like the 15 seconds not going to play such a huge part now. | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
to look like the 15 seconds not She has opened up a substantial lead | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
already, and still just over 7.5 kilometres to go. Non Stanford | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
bidding to become the world triathlon champion for 2013. The | :23:36. | :23:43. | |
24-year-old, grown-up in Swansea, lives in Leeds, trains regularly | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
with the Brownlee brothers in the North of England. She has lots to | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
think about here, but what a good start to the race. Only Sarah Groff | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
has managed to stay with her. And Sarah Groff is already four or five | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
seconds off the pace. An explosive start to the final stage of this | :24:01. | :24:07. | |
Hyde Park triathlon for Non Stanford. If she hadn't had the 15 | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
second penalty and Gwen Jorgensen had not had the crash, it would have | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
been interesting to see these two go head to head. Stimpson is in about | :24:18. | :24:25. | |
fourth at this stage. But the most comfortable of the runners at this | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
stage is definitely Non Stanford. She's flying along here. Such | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
efficient technique, nice fast turnover, very relaxed arms. Back in | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
the field, Haug arriving with three minutes and 20 seconds deficit. Very | :24:43. | :24:56. | |
difficult for and how -- for Haug, crossing paths with Non Stanford, | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
knowing it is not going to be her day-to-day. Back to Non Stanford who | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
is flying. We mentioned the 32 second ten kilometres changeover she | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
ran earlier in the year, and she is fitter now. It will be very exciting | :25:10. | :25:16. | |
to see minus the penalty what she is capable of running. Bearing in mind | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
that she has recently returned from a broken arm. She broke her arm | :25:20. | :25:25. | |
crashing in the hamburg team race. There was a sprint race on Saturday | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
in which she finished second, and then she was part of the British | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
team that went out to defend their world team relay title, including | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
the Brownlee brothers, and Jodie Stimpson as well. But as she went | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
out on the bike in hamburg she crashed, went to the medical centre, | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
and they said there was no damage done. She continued to feel pain, | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
and when she arrived at training, she got it checked, and it turned | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
out it was fractured. She spent an awful lot of time in recovery. Let's | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
see the gap, two laps to go. What is the difference here between Stanford | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
and Sarah Groff? She has got the 15 seconds. That is what she needed. | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
She needs to open up a gap of around 15 seconds. She can take the penalty | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
now and slotting behind Sarah Groff at the start of the second lap, as | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
Sarah Groff crosses the line. There is a further 14 seconds. 15 seconds | :26:20. | :26:28. | |
do Stimpson, Hewitt and Jackson. -- to Stimpson. She obviously wants to | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
build up a Big Brother so when she takes the 15 second she doesn't feel | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
she has to have a group battle -- a big buffer. One down, two to go for | :26:39. | :26:48. | |
Non Stanford as she continues quest to become champion of the world for | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
2013 with this stop-go penalty still to take. Where is Sarah Groff? As we | :26:52. | :27:01. | |
watch once again some of the back markers, the German who was with the | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
leaders during the cycle, but not comfortable on the run. Samuels of | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
New Zealand as well. Stanford is on the charge here. The | :27:07. | :27:20. | |
gap to Sarah Groff growing all the time. It was 15 seconds at the end | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
of the second -- first lap. They are waiting to welcome her into the | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
penalty box when she chooses. She can take it on any one of the three | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
laps. Interesting that we have not mentioned Helen Jenkins, the Welsh | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
athlete, she missed the Olympic Games from being out with a knee | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
injury. Back to Anja Knapp who did so much work for her training | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
partner and fellow German team member, and now I think perhaps she | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
is just taking it pretty easy around this ten kilometre course, her work | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
done for the day. Back with Non Stanford, our leader, world champion | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
in waiting, but still with the daunting prospect of being asked to | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
stop and stand still and take the 15 second count. That is still to come. | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
Her choice. She can take it on the second or third lap. She does have a | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
chance coming now to eyeball Sarah Groff coming in the opposite | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
direction. And she will figure that the gap is enough, at present, to | :28:25. | :28:31. | |
maintain the lead and put her still in front after she has taken the | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
penalty. That will be a huge boost to her confidence because it must be | :28:37. | :28:41. | |
pretty worrying knowing she has the 15 seconds, but a big gap now, not | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
even halfway through the course, so she has to know things are looking | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
pretty comfortable for her. Here are the chasers, Emma Moffatt, Jackson, | :28:51. | :29:00. | |
Jodie Stimpson taking the corner. Jodie Stimpson, such a fantastic | :29:00. | :29:03. | |
year. She has been running so strongly. She came into Stockholm | :29:03. | :29:07. | |
looking a bit fatigued. She had been training in altitude and sometimes | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
it does not suit all athletes. That might be the with Jodie. -- might be | :29:11. | :29:15. | |
the case with Jodie. Stanford might be the with Jodie. -- might be | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
getting some shelter under the trees at the side there. Good crowds out | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
today in Hyde Park despite the inclement weather. They have come | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
out in force. Everybody keen to rekindle the Olympic spirit from | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
2012, and they are all wrapped up against the chill and the rain, but | :29:34. | :29:40. | |
there -- they are six or seven deep in places in Hyde Park. A couple of | :29:40. | :29:44. | |
hundred thousand out for the Olympic triathlon, the men's Olympic | :29:44. | :29:49. | |
triathlon on August seven last year, and good crowds for the women's | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
event on August four. What a run from Non Stanford so far. Still got | :29:53. | :30:01. | |
a penalty to take as Haug runs along with the Hungarian and Kate Roberts | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
of South Africa, with so much work to do. The Olympics was a massive | :30:04. | :30:14. | |
thing for triathlon, which is the fastest-growing Olympic sport that | :30:14. | :30:15. | |
there is in the last year. There has been an increase in | :30:15. | :30:24. | |
participation, certainly fantastic for triathlon. Anne Haug doing her | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
level best to maintain some sort of semblance of being able to challenge | :30:31. | :30:35. | |
for the world title, but the welcome that Non Stanford gets in transition | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
says it all. 15 second penalty still to come. That was the gap in lap | :30:40. | :30:48. | |
one, enough to take the penalty and emerge in first position, that she | :30:48. | :30:53. | |
might not take it until the last possible opportunity on lap three. I | :30:53. | :30:58. | |
will take a guess and say she will take it now, then she can go into | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
the final lap confident she knows she has done enough. Bouncing along | :31:03. | :31:09. | |
still. Stanford looks absolutely full of running. She has had her own | :31:09. | :31:15. | |
issues during this race, which she has benefited from the crash and | :31:15. | :31:24. | |
mechanical failure of raw the prerace favourite Gwen Jorgensen, | :31:24. | :31:29. | |
and problems for Anne Haug, seizing up on those opportunities and it | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
could well be we are looking at a British double this weekend, with | :31:32. | :31:37. | |
Alistair and that in Brownlee battling for world domination | :31:37. | :31:42. | |
tomorrow -- Alistair Dan Jonny Brownlee. And we have Non Stanford | :31:42. | :31:50. | |
on this Saturday morning. Huge progress being made in the women's | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
race. The 10k time has gone down by over one minute in the last year. A | :31:55. | :32:03. | |
significant improvement. Really is. I would love to see Emma, Gwen | :32:03. | :32:11. | |
Jorgensen and Stanford go head-to-head. Now, the chase group, | :32:11. | :32:24. | |
Sarah Groff in second, a group of six including Andrea Hewitt and | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
Jodie Stimpson. And the leader Non Stanford of Great Britain. Hurley | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
was 15 seconds at the last official check, equating to the penalty she | :32:32. | :32:39. | |
has yet to take and stop -- her lead was 15 seconds. After Madrid, we | :32:39. | :32:45. | |
wondered if she could keep this place up. Very hot weather | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
conditions there. She maintained the pace right the way through. A visual | :32:50. | :32:56. | |
check on the time difference now between Stanford, leader, and Sarah | :32:56. | :33:01. | |
Groff in second, and might be getting closer to 20 seconds. | :33:01. | :33:09. | |
Stanford on her own at the front of the field. Everybody snapping away | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
from the sidelines, getting a picture of the world champion in | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
waiting, but still a significant event to happen with the stop-go | :33:18. | :33:23. | |
penalty coming up soon. That camera distance seeming to close the | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
penalty coming up soon. That camera distance, it is more than that | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
picture would suggest. About 20 seconds or so. Stanford kick away | :33:30. | :33:38. | |
from transition, a fearsome pace, not letting up since. Another out | :33:38. | :33:47. | |
and back years, she will turn, and she will get a definite idea of the | :33:47. | :33:49. | |
and back years, she will turn, and gap she has opened up, so Stanford | :33:49. | :33:56. | |
at the turn, Sarah Groff and the others still heading in the opposite | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
direction, and they will eyeball Non Stanford now, some enviously as she | :34:01. | :34:08. | |
heads on this section, well clear of the field, Groff holding second in | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
her own right and stop and six vying for the final place on the medal | :34:11. | :34:20. | |
podium. I think Jodie is having a slightly tough day on the run. | :34:20. | :34:24. | |
Normally a real front run runner, pushing the pace, but choosing to | :34:24. | :34:30. | |
stick with that fact there are, about six athletes, maybe suggesting | :34:30. | :34:36. | |
she is tired. It has been a long season, racing since back in March. | :34:36. | :34:44. | |
Jodie finished second there, Anne Haug was first, and a long season | :34:44. | :34:53. | |
for these athletes. Hewitt being dropped, and able to keep pace with | :34:53. | :34:58. | |
that group. Stanford will soon get sight of Anne Haug, one half her | :34:58. | :35:04. | |
main rivals for the World Championship title of 2013, and will | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
see the gap she has over Anne Haug is enormous. Katie Hewison of Great | :35:09. | :35:17. | |
Britain having a good race. Kate McIlroy of New Zealand just in | :35:17. | :35:21. | |
front. Stanford only has the motorcycle camera for company now, | :35:21. | :35:31. | |
plus the noisy Hyde Park Road. And Kate Roberts from South Africa, a | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
strong runner, suggesting that Anne Haug is not running at full pace. | :35:34. | :35:42. | |
300 metres to go until the end of lap two. The gap was 15 at the end | :35:43. | :35:50. | |
of lap one, it has grown since then, as Stanford continues to punish her | :35:50. | :36:03. | |
opponents here. So, that penalty still very much on her mind, and it | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
will be tough for her, because her legs are working, but suddenly, she | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
will have to stop and stand for 15 seconds, which will seem like 15 | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
minutes as she watches the clock, but kicking away early, sensibly, | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
opening the gap, giving herself the time difference. We saw how it | :36:22. | :36:30. | |
affected Jonny Brownlee last year, coming across the line absolutely | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
spent, and it can sometimes be a shock to the system. You are all | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
out, heart rate at around 180 plus, stop dead, it drops, then you ask it | :36:41. | :36:50. | |
to go again. Stanford takes her punishment, a 15 second standing | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
time, because she did not get the wet suit in the vaults, keeping | :36:53. | :36:59. | |
moving, looking towards the timing official. Then she gets released and | :36:59. | :37:06. | |
the tactic has paid off for Non Stanford, still in first position, | :37:06. | :37:12. | |
having taken the 15 seconds, Non Stanford still leading the World | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
Triathlon Series Grand Final here in London, a terrific performance so | :37:15. | :37:21. | |
far! The crowd responding to her efforts! Brilliant! I felt that, | :37:21. | :37:28. | |
that 15 seconds felt like a lifetime. Still has a lead of 14 | :37:28. | :37:38. | |
seconds. The hard work in the second lap in particular has paid off, a | :37:38. | :37:42. | |
final lap to run. If she crosses in first, she will become world | :37:42. | :37:48. | |
champion. And a little pack separating out a bit. The grimace on | :37:48. | :37:55. | |
Jodie Stimpson's face, and Sarah Groff perhaps being reeled in, | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
Andrea Hewitt, so consistent, but not able to go with the front fact | :38:00. | :38:07. | |
of runners. Into the final lap and you cannot see Sarah Groff in the | :38:07. | :38:11. | |
distance, touches Non Stanford's total domination of this 10k run so | :38:11. | :38:19. | |
far, slightly less than 3.3 kilometres to Iran, on the final | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
lap, and we can see how far behind Anne Haug is, -- 3.3 kilometres to | :38:24. | :38:35. | |
run. No sign of Anne Haug, so far behind, it is really insignificant | :38:35. | :38:43. | |
now, because it is Stanford's title for the taking. She is going to be | :38:43. | :38:50. | |
feeling pretty good. You have to take your hat off to Anne Haug, | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
running their with Katie Roberts from South Africa, not giving up, | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
but just a case of finishing this race and seeing what points she can | :38:59. | :39:06. | |
get. Starting badly for her, diving into the Serpentine, way off the | :39:06. | :39:11. | |
pace by the end of lap one, finishing a minute and a half behind | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
the best of the swimmers coming out of the water, failed to make a nine | :39:15. | :39:23. | |
pact despite teaming up with Anja Knapp, generously staying back and | :39:23. | :39:29. | |
waiting for her. -- field to make an impact. They try to make inroads to | :39:29. | :39:35. | |
the lead, but to no avail. Championship aspirations vanishing | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
by the second. Stanford still looks full of running as she takes that | :39:39. | :39:46. | |
out and back and another chance to eyeball her closest rivals led by | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
Sarah Groff, her lead appears to be diminishing over Moffatt, making a | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
move into third position, joined on her shoulder by Aileen Reid from | :39:56. | :40:01. | |
Arlen, Jodie Stimpson throwing away her sunglasses. Someone has a free | :40:01. | :40:08. | |
bearing the crowd. Stimpson clearly frustrated with how things have | :40:08. | :40:13. | |
worked out. She had a chance to win the world title, not quite panning | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
out, and bond down to about 50 position. Andrea Hewitt, the pace | :40:17. | :40:29. | |
was too much. -- bumped to fifth position. We are deep into the final | :40:29. | :40:38. | |
lap, the final chapter of the World Triathlon Series for the women for | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
2013, and it looks as if it will be a world title for Non Stanford from | :40:43. | :40:53. | |
Wales. Ashleigh Gentle going through the picture there, her trainer was a | :40:53. | :40:59. | |
multiple World Cup winner back in the late '90s on the ITU circuit. | :40:59. | :41:08. | |
Moffett has been caught. Emma Moffatt with designs on second place | :41:08. | :41:15. | |
here. Anne Haug has broken clear of Katie Roberts and opened up a little | :41:15. | :41:22. | |
bit of daylight now. There is no way back now for Anne Haug. She cannot | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
win the world title from here, she is so far behind. We saw Emma | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
Moffett and Sarah Groff running together there. Sarah Groff chose to | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
leave Darren Smith last year, Emma Moffett took place and interestingly | :41:37. | :41:43. | |
as just taking the lead from Sarah Groff into second place, so Darren | :41:43. | :41:49. | |
Smith working his magic once again. Sarah Moffett -- Emma Moffett having | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
Smith working his magic once again. a glance over her shoulder, all | :41:53. | :41:59. | |
about getting on the podium here, as Non Stanford comes past the role of | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
bikes, outright leader with a stunning triathlon performance this | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
morning. Always difficult to start at half past eight in the morning, | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
difficult to get your timing right, triathletes like to wake properly, | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
trained properly in the early morning, the men starting later at | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
1:30pm, Emma Moffatt moving past Sarah Groff, keeping tabs for third | :42:24. | :42:32. | |
position. I glanced up at the clock for Emma Moffatt. And Stimpson | :42:32. | :42:40. | |
making a bit of a move, energised and coming alongside Aileen Reid, | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
but it is Stanford who leads them through by a comfortable margin, | :42:45. | :42:51. | |
even after her 15 second kind, her lead was still 14 seconds, a | :42:51. | :42:57. | |
remarkable run so far with just 1800 metres to go. Jodie Stimpson perhaps | :42:57. | :43:04. | |
looking into the crowd, her niece is here, for lucky mascot, really | :43:04. | :43:10. | |
grimacing, really tired now, try to see if she can hang onto one of | :43:10. | :43:16. | |
those podium places. Stimpson with a second wind. She picked up her son | :43:16. | :43:24. | |
grasses -- sunglasses and threw them into the crowd, which seemed to | :43:24. | :43:30. | |
kick-start her race. The rain coming down, the squinting of the eyes to | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
quayside some water, as she approaches Sarah Groff, currently in | :43:34. | :43:41. | |
bronze medal position. Andrea Hewitt, always a solid swimmer and | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
good on the bike, just travelling when coming off two wheels and | :43:46. | :43:54. | |
attacking the 10k. They are so well spread as Stimpson gets closer to | :43:54. | :44:01. | |
Groff, Stimpson into the vision, gritting her teeth, it is painful | :44:01. | :44:05. | |
for Jodie Stimpson, but taking third position away from Sarah Groff. | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
Aileen Reid from Ireland tries to go with her. As Stimpson gone too fast | :44:10. | :44:17. | |
year? She might join Non Stanford and Emma Moffett on the podium. | :44:17. | :44:23. | |
Stanford starts to soak up the atmosphere now. No sign of her | :44:23. | :44:32. | |
tiring. Bouncing along. Moffatt in second, Stimpson third, read trying | :44:32. | :44:37. | |
to stay with them, but she might be broken. -- Aileen Reid trying to | :44:37. | :44:45. | |
stay with them. Is Stanford knows when she can go and when she cannot. | :44:45. | :44:50. | |
Jodie Stimpson just hounding her down. Clinging onto the place. | :44:50. | :44:58. | |
Trying to move herself back into the picture, into the frames, and it | :44:58. | :45:03. | |
looks like she is fast approaching on Emma Moffatt. Maybe she went to | :45:03. | :45:11. | |
LA? -- too early? Death look at the league that Stanford has. All of | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
that despite having to stop because of a network meant violation. 15 | :45:18. | :45:25. | |
seconds penalty. She will learn from that. Moffatt in second, the battle | :45:25. | :45:31. | |
for third between Aileen Reid of Ireland and Jodie Stimpson of Great | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
Britain. Sarah Groff might have pushed too hard that the early | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
stages, relegated to fifth position. Alice Betto six. That is Emma | :45:39. | :45:45. | |
Jackson in seventh. The second Australian coming through. This is | :45:45. | :45:53. | |
not where it is about the body, it is about the mind. This has been a | :45:53. | :45:58. | |
tough race in tough conditions. They have everything still to play for. | :45:58. | :46:07. | |
Stimpson just about holding on to Aileen Reid. Jodie Stimpson might | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
get involved in the sprint finish. Aileen Reid looks more comfortable, | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
but Stimpson comes again. Not letting Aileen Reid break free, but | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
out in front, Non Stanford can taste victory now. Well inside the final | :46:22. | :46:28. | |
kilometre. What a brilliant race for Non Stanford. The whole event has | :46:28. | :46:35. | |
been full of drama and incident with Gwen Jorgensen's affair on the bike | :46:35. | :46:42. | |
outside the palace with her crash. The Germans's desperate attempt to | :46:42. | :46:49. | |
get back in, and the wet suit violation for Non Stanford and the | :46:49. | :46:52. | |
stop-go penalty which she took at the last moment. Into the last 500 | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
metres now, and Non Stanford is cruising to victory. Well, an | :46:57. | :47:06. | |
outstanding performance, and we are about to witness a third British | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
athlete to win the world Championships. Stimpson dropped by | :47:09. | :47:18. | |
Eileen Reid, daylight between the Irish triathlete and Jodie Stimpson, | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
and it seems to be going. She looked the more comfortable of the two and | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
it looks like Stimpson might end up finishing in fourth, which is always | :47:24. | :47:30. | |
the worst to finish in, because Emma Moffatt is in second, and Aileen | :47:30. | :47:35. | |
Reid is closing in on Moffatt. Stanford moves into a sprint to | :47:35. | :47:43. | |
round off this world Triumph leaked -- triathlon series for 2013. At | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
last she can smile. She deserves all the applause and praise today. She | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
can pick up the flag, the Welsh flag for Non Stanford. The sprint is over | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
and it is just down to a lap of honour at the end of the race for | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
Non Stanford of Great Britain. A sensational race, culminating in a | :48:02. | :48:10. | |
magnificent victory for Non Stanford. Non Stanford is the | :48:10. | :48:17. | |
champion of the world! Two hours and one minute and 33 seconds. And there | :48:17. | :48:22. | |
is a sprint for second between Moffatt, who is hobbling through, | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
and Aileen Reid of Ireland. Stimpson has been dropped to fourth. Aileen | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
Reid takes it away from Moffatt within 50 yards of the line. She | :48:33. | :48:39. | |
joins Stanford on the podium, and Moffatt is third. A gutsy | :48:39. | :48:42. | |
performance yet again from Jodie Stimpson. She grimaced her way | :48:42. | :48:47. | |
through that run. She picks up fourth position. Emma Jackson is in | :48:47. | :48:56. | |
sixth, falling over the line, followed by Sarah Groff, who was | :48:56. | :49:02. | |
seconds -- for so much of the race. What a finish for Non Stanford. | :49:02. | :49:12. | |
World champion for 2013. Perhaps a slightly disappointing day for Jodie | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
Stimpson, but with the points she gains today, not making the podium | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
today, but she will make the podium in the world Championships. Stimpson | :49:19. | :49:29. | |
and Stanford, the two British triathletes, and Stanford is holding | :49:29. | :49:38. | |
up the Welsh flag again. What a season for her. A breakthrough, | :49:38. | :49:43. | |
standout season with victory in Madrid. Second place behind Haug in | :49:43. | :49:51. | |
hamburg. Second place in Stockholm, all coming good. And she will be | :49:51. | :49:58. | |
crowned as the 2013 ITU world triathlon series champion. It looked | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
at the start as if it would all be about Haug, but it didn't quite | :50:03. | :50:14. | |
happen. Haug And your Ganson in pole position to become world champion, | :50:14. | :50:22. | |
but they both had issues -- Haug and Gwen Jorgensen. Confirmation of the | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
final results. A comfortable win for Non Stanford. Aileen Reid was second | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
for Ireland. Emma Moffatt in third. Non Stanford is the champion of the | :50:28. | :50:41. | |
world for 2013, joined on the world triathlon series podium by Jodie | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
Stimpson in second, and Haug holding on for third. In third place, | :50:46. | :50:57. | |
representing Germany, Annie Haug! A disappointing end for her, fighting | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
back the tears it seems, coming here with a realistic prospect of | :51:03. | :51:08. | |
becoming champion of the world, but it didn't happen for her today. | :51:08. | :51:16. | |
Third place in the world triathlon series standings for 2013. Beaten | :51:16. | :51:27. | |
today by Jodie Stimpson. Did not make it onto the podium for the race | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
itself, but stands alongside her compatriot, Non Stanford. Second in | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
the world for 2013. And in first place, a new world | :51:36. | :52:01. | |
champion, representing Great Britain, Non Stanford exhibition | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
Mark Stanford is the champion of the world for 2013 after a sensational | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
finish. It could be the start of a very | :52:07. | :52:24. | |
British double this weekend with the Brownlee brothers hoping to | :52:24. | :52:29. | |
replicate their Olympic performance. They will go head-to-head with | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
Javier Gomez for the men's title on Sunday. Ladies and gentlemen, please | :52:32. | :52:40. | |
rise for the playing of the national anthem of Great Britain. | :52:40. | :53:01. | |
So, the national anthem rings out within earshot of Buckingham Palace. | :53:01. | :53:30. | |
At last, Stanford can only enjoy the moment, and she will be back to | :53:30. | :53:38. | |
cheer on her training partners, Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
tomorrow. I cannot put it into words how I feel. I go from related to | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
nearly crying. I could not quite believe it. It has all happened so | :53:47. | :53:53. | |
quickly. I cannot quite believe it, the way the race panned out. I think | :53:53. | :53:59. | |
it was about the person who were sensible and kept their head. You | :53:59. | :54:05. | |
made it a tough watch for the fans with a penalty, and a bit tougher | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
for yourself. When you heard about it, what went through your mind? I | :54:08. | :54:16. | |
did Johnny Brownlee! I knew I had to go out hard, and I knew I could | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
break the mercifully, so a 25 seconds I thought I had to take it | :54:22. | :54:24. | |
early and get out of the penalty box seconds I thought I had to take it | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
as quickly as possible. I had to not given the chance to get back in | :54:29. | :54:30. | |
contact. It was hurting on the last given the chance to get back in | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
lap so I was glad to see it when I came to the finish line. How much | :54:34. | :54:39. | |
were you aware of the drama around you? It was really unfortunate on | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
that corner. I heard someone go down behind me and me got feedback it was | :54:44. | :54:47. | |
Gwen Jorgensen, and it's a shame because you do not want to have a | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
world title come to you that way. It would have been great to have her in | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
the run and beaten her that way. But you have to keep your wits about you | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
on the course. It is notoriously slippery, so we were prepared for | :54:59. | :55:04. | |
that. Aileen Reid, congratulations, how does it feel? Fantastic, | :55:04. | :55:12. | |
surprising, amazing. What was it like to be racing out there? I | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
wished it was a sprint distance because we had four laps on the bike | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
and I was freezing. I was freezing, so I thought everyone else was, so | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
just keep going and hopefully people will drop out and you have more of a | :55:24. | :55:31. | |
chance. Jodie, huge congratulations, you are this year 's World Series | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
runner-up, how does it feel? It's amazing. I was giving all I could | :55:36. | :55:43. | |
give, but then second in the series, OK, I will take that. That race was | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
so dramatic. How much information did you get about what else was | :55:49. | :55:52. | |
going on and how much were you trying to focus on your own race in | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
these conditions? To be honest, on the bike, it was just try to stay | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
near the front and I properly stayed there a bit too long. Stay upright | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
or go into the back and risk coming off. Then we know that Gwen | :56:06. | :56:12. | |
