The unstoppable Gwen Jorgensen captured her 11th consecutive WTS Series victory at the world’s biggest triathlon in Hamburg today, but didn’t have it all her own way as she was forced to make a sprint finish to break away from Vicky Holland. Jorgensen’s margin of victory was just 3 seconds.

In warm and sunny conditions, 66 elite women leaped off the pontoon to begin a fast and furious 750m swim – the water was a balmy 22 degrees, meaning wetsuits weren’t necessary.
