Ali Brownlee smashes Stockholm new
Written by: Timothy Carlson
Date: Sun Aug 25 2013
The greatest triathlete in ITU history wrote another page in his impeccable résumé with a bravura win at the Stockholm round of the World Triathlon Series Sunday. Alistair Brownlee added a record 15th World Triathlon Series (formerly known as the World Championship Series) victory, topping the runner-up, two-time ITU World Champion Javier Gomez of Spain, by 14 seconds and brother Jonathan, the defending WTS World Champion, who finished 3rd, by 33 seconds. Their finish order duplicated their 1-2-3 finish at the London Olympics a year ago.
Alistair was the straw that stirred the drink throughout the contest as he emerged from the swim 3rd, just 3 seconds behind Richard Varga of Slovakia, 2 seconds behind his brother Jonathan and, amidst a 12-man lead pack, 4 seconds ahead of Gomez. Then, displaying the power, speed and prowess he showed in a runaway win at the insanely steep bike climb at Kitzbühel, Alistair powered a pack of 10 to an immediate bike breakaway that quickly put 20 seconds on a futile chase group. By the 8th of 9 laps on the bike leg, the lead pack was winnowed down to 8 men and the gap to the first chase pack increased to 90 seconds.
At that point, the Olympic champion made a strategic move prompted by a wary respect for his brother’s sprinting capability. At Hamburg, Alistair ran with Jonathan to the final meters, whereupon the younger Brownlee jetted ahead to the victory. “That may have been the biggest mistake I ever made,” said Jonathan of his winning sprint at Hamburg, with the implication that he woke up the beast within his brother. Indeed, Alistair decided to eliminate the possibility of a Hamburg re-run and surged to a 23-seconds lead on the final lap of the bike. “That 20 seconds I got was absolutely critical,” said Alistair at the finish.
Sure enough, Alistair had plenty of gas left in the tank and ran 29:09, which was estimated by ITU commentator Barrie Shepley to be 200 meters short of the official 10k distance. Gomez, digging deep to maintain a chance of the WTS series victory at London, ran a race-best 29:02 split which ditched Jonathan with a lap to go and came within 16 seconds of Alistair with a lap and a half left. But on the final lap, Alistair stretched his margin over Gomez back to 22 seconds, giving him time to milk the crowd in the finish chute.
“I knew I had to do something on the bike,” said Alistair to ITU media. “I didn’t want it to come down to a straight run again.” Looking tapped out at the finish, the winner added, “I felt quite good on the 2nd and 3rd laps of the run, but on the last lap my legs felt dead.”
Gomez took the loss with his usual good attitude. “I came here to improve my worst result,” he said. (The four best WTS results count and Gomez’s 4th prior to Stockholm was 13th at Kitzbühel). “Alistair was very tactical on the bike, but I was happy to beat Jonny. All three of us have a chance to win at London, so it will be very exciting.”
The win vaulted Alistair Brownlee, who previously won WTS victories at San Diego and Kitzbühel, into the WTS points lead going into the series Grand Final in London in 3 weeks. Alistair leads with 3,140 points, followed by brother Jonathan, who won Yokohama, Madrid and Hamburg, with 3,085. Gomez, who won Auckland and took 2nd at Yokohama, Madrid and Stockholm, trails closely in 3rd with 3,020 points. With the three men so closely packed, the Grand Final should be a nail biter and the winner at London should prevail as the 2013 World Champion.

Esta tarde se ha celebrado en Estocolmo la penúltima ronda de las Series Mundiales de Triatlón ITU. El gallego Javier Gómez Noya se ha alzado con la medalla de plata, tras ofrecer una excepcional actuación en la capital sueca, en la que el subcampeón olímpico ha permanecido en todo momento en los primeros puestos, luchando por el podio.
Tras efectuar las dos vueltas que componían el segmento inicial de natación, en la que el eslovaco Richard Varga volvió a dominar, diez triatletas salían en cabeza de la T1. Entre ellos se encontraba el ferrolano Gómez Noya, los hermanos Brownlee, Henri Schoeman, o el propio Varga. Muy pronto el grupo, que marcaba un ritmo muy alto, se reduciría a un total de ocho triatletas, que se enfrentarían a las 10 vueltas ciclistas con una cómoda ventaja con respecto a los grupos perseguidores (el primero de los cuales se situaba a una distancia que iría oscilando entre un minuto y un minuto y medio). El resto de españoles en liza se encontraban en el segundo de los grupos perseguidores, con los canarios Vicente Hernández y Ricardo Hernández luchando por recortar diferencias.
Una vez más, el segmento de carrera a pie sería decisivo a la hora de decidir el podio final. Tras zafarse del resto del grupo de cabeza en los últimos 7 km del sector ciclista, Alistair Brownlee se mantenía al frente de la prueba al inicio del último sector. A la salida de la T2, el británico impuso un ritmo muy fuerte a lo largo de todo este tramo, para de este modo conservar su renta y cruzar la línea de meta en primera posición.
Por su parte, Javier Gómez Noya lograba una excepcional medalla de plata tras protagonizar un intenso duelo con Jonathan Brownlee (quien finalmente se adjudicaría la presea de bronce) en el transcurso de los 10 km de carrera a pie. El gallego realizó una brillante carrera y entraba en meta a escasos 14 segundos del mayor de los hermanos Brownlee.
Por detrás, Vicente Hernández acababa 36º y Ricardo Hernández 43º. En tanto que Óscar Vicente se retiró tras el segmento de natación.
Al término de esta etapa, Alistair Brownlee ocupa la primera plaza del ranking ITU con 3140 puntos, seguido por su hermano Jonathan con 3085 puntos. Mientras que Javier Gómez Noya se sitúa tercero con 3020 puntos y el mallorquín Mario Mola -ausente hoy en Estocolmo- cuarto con 2699. Así, la Gran Final de Londres del próximo 15 de septiembre será decisiva para determinar el ganador del Campeonato del Mundo en esta edición de las Series Mundiales ITU, con los primeros clasificados optando todos ellos al cetro mundial.
