The Valencia waterfront filled with spectators for Saturday afternoon’s World Cup that saw 65 women taking to the sprint-distance course on a hot and humid afternoon on the Spanish coast.
After strong recent podiums at WTCS Hamburg and Pontevedra World Cup, it was Germany’s Lisa Tertsch who was able to strike gold, coming through a relentless three-way battle to take the tape. It had been Mexico’s Anahi Alvarez Corral and Leonie Periault of France on her shoulder for the majority of the 5km finale, Alvarez eventually scoring a superb first World Cup podium with silver, Periault confirming her form is right back where she wants it in third.
