2013 London ITU Triathlon U23 Men's World Championships
France's Pierre Le Corre just slipped off the podium in a four-way sprint for the U23 men's title in Auckland last year, but he made sure history didn't repeat in London as he claimed the 2013 Under23 Men's World Championship title in a sprint in Hyde Park.
Le Corre was in a lead group of five for most of the 10km run before he, Spain's Fernando Alarza and Australia's Declan Wilson made their move at the start of the bell lap. They went toe to toe for most of that final three kilometres, before the Frenchman put the burners down on the finishing chute.
