ITU Gold Coast

The ITU World Triathlon Series stopped in the Gold Coast, Australia Saturday for another race. And, some history was made.

Gwen Jorgensen, USA, won her eight consecutive WTS race. That is the longest-running streak for the elite women since the start of the series. Joining Jorgensen on the podium were fellow Americans Sara True and Katie Zaferes. True claimed silver and Zaferes won bronze.

Jorgensen came out with the leaders after the swim and stayed in the lead pack on the bike. On the run is where she put distance between her and second place. In transition two, Jorgensen's bike fell over, so she had to serve a 15-second penalty during the run. The penalty didn't hurt her at all.

Jorgensen crossed the finish line in 1:57:00. A minute and 18 seconds behind Jorgensen was True for silver (1:58:18)  and then Zaferes following in 1:58:36.
