Briton Alex Yee was crowned triathlon world champion this Sunday, after the final event of the WTCS world circuit in Torremolinos, Spain.
Frenchman Léo Bergère, bronze medalist at the Paris Games, became vice-world triathlon champion behind British Olympic champion Alex Yee on Sunday after the final event of the WTCS world circuit in Torremolinos, Spain.
Crowned in 2022, the Isérois finished 2nd in the final event behind the New Zealander Wilde Hayden but did not manage to outrun Yee, 3rd in the stage and winner of the general classification with a total of 5,002.52 points , or 368.93 points ahead of the French triathlete. To win his second title at 28, the French triathlete had to win the Torremolinos final and hope that Yee, 26, would finish in 7th place at best.
The stage was the last race of Frenchman Vincent Luis in the jersey of the French team, at 35 years old, who finished this season in 7th place in the general classification, just behind his compatriot Pierre Le Corre.
Double world champion in 2019 and 2020, with three participations in the Olympic Games including a bronze medal in mixed relay in Tokyo, Vincent Luis was not selected for Paris-2024, paying the price of strong competition in the team of France.
