World Triathlon Para Series Montreal 

Henry Urand claimed men’s PTS3 gold at World Triathlon Para Series Montreal in what was the final race in the Paris Paralympic Games qualifying window. He exited the 760m swim in fifth place over a minute off race leader Michael Herter of France. On the 20.2km bike ride the Brit was the quickest of anyone to take the lead of the race, which was where he stayed on the 5km run.  

 
Megan Richter also stood on the podium in Canada, finishing second in the women’s PTS4 race. She exited the swim in second place just one second behind America’s Emma Meyers. Richter took control of the race on the bike leg but dropped to second on the run, crossing the line behind Kelly Elmlinger of the US.  

The women’s PTVI category saw Alison Peasgood and guide Brooke Gillies narrowly miss out on a podium place. The pair cross the line in fifth place with just six seconds covering Ireland’s Chloe MacCombe and her guide (third) and Brazil’s Leticia Freitas and her guide (fourth).  

Josh Landmann took fourth place in the men’s PTWC race while Finley Jakes was seventh in the men’s PTS4 race.
