2012 ITU World Triathlon Series Kitzbühel, Austria

Swiss star Nicola Spirig showed off her brilliant finishing kick again as she powered to her second straight victory in the 2012 ITU World Triathlon Series today in Kitzbühel, Austria and continued her torrid winning streak after recording wins at the European Championships and Madrid.

In a ferocious running battle with five other women, Spirig edged out Sweden’s Lisa Norden who successfully returned from injury to take her place on the Kitzbühel podium once again.  Andrea Hewitt out-dueled Chile’sBarbara Riveros Diaz for the bronze, yet another podium for the Kiwi superstar.

Ashleigh Gentle and Gwen Jorgensen both clocked the fastest run splits of the day and ran from the chase pack to 10th and 11th place respectively.
