Bermuda's Flora Duffy wins gold in women's triathlon race of champions
The double triathlon world champion dominated the run to win her country's fir
st-ever Olympic gold medal, with 2020 world champion Georgia Taylor-Brown taki
ng silver and 2019 world champion Katie Zaferes bronze.
Flora Duffy本身是兩次三項鐵人賽世界冠軍，這次在奧運獲得百慕達歷史首金。
Bermuda's Flora Duffy dominated the run portion of the women's triathlon to wi
n Olympic gold on a wet and humid morning at Odaiba Marine Park. The gruelling
race, which involves a 1.5km swim, 40km bike ride and 10km run, saw a group o
f five - including Duffy, Taylor-Brown and Zaferes - pull away during the bike
ride to leave the chasing group fighting for the non-medal positions.
However, it was the run where the true champion was decided, as Duffy led from
the start of the four-lap race, winning in a time of 1:55.36 - a full minute
and 14 seconds ahead of second-place Taylor-Brown.
在游泳、騎車項目還是與2、3名及另外兩名選手旗鼓相當，領先大隊，直到跑步決定優勢
，以1分14秒領先第二名選手獲勝
Britain's Taylor-Brown, who was crowned 2020 world champion after a one-off ra
ce decided the title when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the race calendar, d
ropped slightly behind the leading group during the bike ride, before storming
past the USA's Zaferes midway through the run section to take an impressive s
ilver for Great Britain.
And while Zaferes tired visibly over the final 10km, she dug deep to hold onto
a memorable bronze for the United States.
The top three have a total of four world championships between them, with Duff
y winning the title in 2016 and 2017, Zaferes in 2019 and Taylor-Brown in 2020
. However, the ultimate crown - the Olympic title - belongs to Duffy, who has
won Bermuda's first-ever gold medal at an Olympic Games, and only the second m
edal of any colour for her country.
前三名一共在四場世界賽奪冠，這次奧運金牌由百慕達選手Duffy獲得，是百慕達歷史上
第二面獎牌。
