Blummenfelt (NOR) and Lindemann (GER) take Junior honours in Antalya
Norway’s Kristian Blummenfelt and Laura Lindemann of Germany secured their first victories of 2013 by taking gold at the ETU Junior European Cup in Antalya.
Antalya has been a regular venue on the International triathlon calendar for four years but this was the first time it hosted a Junior European Cup alongside the Elite performers in an ITU European Cup.
For Lindemann, this was her first race at this level and she enjoyed a stunning debut to win handsomely by well over a minute.
Anastasia Gorbunova (RUS) and Renata Fuchs (HUN) completed the podium in the Junior Women’s race.
The Junior Men’s race was a much tighter affair as Blummenfelt just edged out the Russian duo of Andrey Moiseenko and Maxim Subotin.
Blummenfelt, who topped the ETU Junior rankings in 2012 and was also awarded a grant under the ETU Scholarship fund on the strength of those performances, once again underlined his huge potential with a solid race.
Only 13 seconds covered the podium, with just seven seconds between Blummenfelt and Moiseenko, however the Norwegian’s strength and power on the final run meant that he would not be caught.
