Leos Rousavy has taken a commanding lead in the World Cup standings after winning his third Quadrathlon event in Tyn nad Vltavou, Czech Replublic. The win at the sprint distance event consisting 1 km swim, 5 km kayak, 25 km bike and 5 km run, means Leos is well on his way to defend his 2011 World Cup title. In second was fellow Czech, Michal Hasa who set the fastest times in the kayak and on the run. The young Czech athlete Petr Susa took on the podium.

In the women’s race, Silke Harenberg from Germany, celebrated the win after a thrilling duel with her compatriot Ellen Mielke. This was Harenberg’s first victory after having a baby. Klara Brenznova led the race after the swim, but was overtaken by the two German girls on the paddle section. Mielke lead the field after the paddle, but Harenberg fought back on the bike and it came down to the run to decide the win.

The next event on the World Cup calendar is Brigg Bomber in England. It is also the 2012 European Championship venue.
