British triathlete Beth Potter outgunned home hopeful Cassandre Beaugrand in a final sprint to win the Paris 2024 triathlon women's test race on Thursday and seal her first victory in an Olympic-distance event.
Beaugrand broke clear early in the four-lap, 1.5km run but Potter caught her at the start of the second lap.
The two were neck-and-neck, opening up a gap on Emma Lombardi and Laura Lindemann, but it was Potter who turned on the after-burners to finish in 1:51:40, six seconds ahead of her French rival. Germany's Lindemann finished third.
