The women\u2019s race witnessed America\u2019s in-form Taylor Spivey<\/strong><\/a> power her way to victory, dominating the final legs of the Eliminator format as some of her race rivals tumbled on the bike leg.<\/p>\n Spain\u2019s Miriam Casillas Garcia would finish second overall ahead of Great Britain\u2019s Georgia Taylor-Brown<\/strong><\/a>, who\u2019d show true grit to run her way back onto the podium having crashed on Stage 2\u2019s bike leg.<\/p>\n After impressing in the previous stages in London and Munich, SLT Rhinos\u2019s Spivey went into the race as one of the outright favourites alongside Taylor-Brown, with the Californian boasting both home support and a familiarity with the Malibu location, having grown up on the coast of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n \u201cI really wasn\u2019t expecting the win today, but taking it on home soil was extra special,\u201d said an elated Spivey at the finish.<\/p>\n \u201cI was hoping for some good wave karma and in the last round it paid off. Catching that wave put me more in front than I expected, so I went for it to see what I could do.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew that Georgia was capable of the win today, but I could tell she was taking those corners pretty fast.\u201d<\/p>\n In the men\u2019s event, New Zealand\u2019s Hayden Wilde<\/strong><\/a> once again claimed victory in the 2022 Super League Triathlon Championship Series after his win at the opening event in London.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old surged to the front on the final run leg of the day, pushing Israel\u2019s Shachar Sagiv and Portugal\u2019s Vasco Vilaca onto the remaining podium spots to tighten his grip on the five-stage Series.<\/p>\n \u201cThe victory felt good today as I was struggling on the swim,\u201d said Wilde at the finish. \u201cI was really gutted to see Matt Hauser on the sidelines and getting eliminated. That\u2019s racing and I had to do what I had to do today to take the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n The men\u2019s race was also full of drama, with one of the pre-race favourites, Australia\u2019s Matt Hauser, crashing on the first bike leg of the day and eventually being shown the yellow flag in Super League\u2019s ruthless Eliminator format.<\/p>\n There was even drama before the event, with Portugal\u2019s Vasco Vilaca being bitten by a seal<\/strong><\/a> on a training swim in Malibu (but being deemed fit to start), and major name Jonny Brownlee<\/strong> <\/a>missing due to illness.<\/p>\n Today\u2019s Super League Eliminator witnessed three standard swim-bike-run triathlons with a short break in between.<\/p>\n That format would see the final three athletes to finish in Stage 1 and Stage 2 eliminated, before Stage 3\u2019s pursuit-style start based upon combined times from Stage 1 and Stage 2.<\/p>\n Each stage consisted of a 300m one-lap swim ocean swim, a 3.6km three-lap cycle bike and a 1.6km two-lap run.<\/p>\n The next race is in Toulouse, France, on 2 October, with the Grand Finale in Saudi Arabia on 29 October.<\/p>\n Top image credit:<\/strong> Darren Wheeler \u2013 That Cameraman\/SuperLeague<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div> <\/section><\/body><\/html>\n By 220 Triathlon Team Published: Sunday, 18 September 2022 at 12:00 am Crashes, eliminations, local home heroes, Wilde ones and seal bites.
