Buchholz captures Under23 Gold

By World Triathlon Admin | 31 Aug, 2007

Unheralded Gregor Buchholz has become national hero after winning the men’s under23 division of the BG Triathlon World Championship in Hamburg today.  The German scored the biggest victory of his career and delighted the home crowds with a thrilling sprint to gold over Australian Brendan Sexton.  Russian Ivan Vasiliev held on for the bronze medal.

At the start of the run the three medalists were in the lead pack with six others but the trio surged ahead and dropped them by the second lap.  As the approached the final stretch, it was a two-man foot race between Buchholz and Sexton.  Spurred on by the partisan German crowd, Buchholz pulled away to secure the stunning upset.  He becomes the first German since Sebastian Dehmer won the same category in 2004.

Inesperadamente Gregor Buchholz se ha convertido en un héroe nacional después de ganar hoy el Campeonato del Mundo de Triatlón BG en Hamburgo de la categoría Sub 23. El alemán ha conseguido la victoria más grande de su carrera y encandiló al público local con un emocionante sprint para conseguir el oro superando a el australiano Brendan Sexton. El ruso Ivan Vasiliev consiguió la medalla de bronce.

Desde el inicio de la carrera los tres medallistas estaban en el grupo de cabeza con seis corredores más pero el trío aumentó el ritmo y se distanció de ellos en la segunda vuelta. Según la carrera se acercaba al final, el cerco se acotaba a dos hombres Buchholz y Sexton. Animado por el público partidario del alemán, Buchholz lanzó un ataque para que no se produjese ningún contratiempo. Él se convierte en el primer alemán en ganar la categoría Sub 23 desde que lo hizo Sebastián Dehmer en 2004.
