While the sprint race is short, athletes had to race twice within two hours for a qualifying round and the final. “At the end of two races in a row, I was getting cramps and didn’t know how I’d feel, but the training kicked in and I quickly put the legs to work,” said Lori. “It is a great confidence-booster, and over the unique format, was simply a fun way for most of us athletes to start the year,” he noted.
New Zealand’s Ryan Sissons was first in 27:07 and Australia’s Luke Willian was second.
No Canadian women competed in the event.
