2022 World Triathlon Junior World Championships - Men

24 Jun, 2022
After a format change to duathlon due to bad weather affecting the water quality, the intensity was cranked up for the start of the men’s Junior World Championship race in Montreal. The leaders chopped and changed in what looked like being an unpredictable chase for the title, until Thomas Hansmaennel put the hammer down after just a few hundred metres of the final 5km to pull clear. With nobody able to respond, Hansmaennel carved out a huge gap behind him, and was able to soak up the moment down the final stretch of blue carpet, finishing 18 seconds ahead of Toby Powers (AUS) in second, Reese Vannerson (USA) with the bronze.
