Jorgensen to ITU Kitzbuhel

Elite Women’s Preview
Hewitt enters her third WTS of the year straight off the back of Banyoles World Cup where she finished fourth. After her bronze in Sydney, a medal this weekend will be Hewitt’s fifth in Kitzbühel.  Switzerland’s Nicola Spirig has won her past two races, taking the most recent WTS in Madrid for the second year running and regaining her European Championship title in Eilat. Spirig has also finished on the podium in Kitzbühel before, claiming silver in 2009 and winning in 2008.

Barbara Riveros Diaz proved that her Olympic preparation is heading in the right direction with bronze in Madrid last month, along with Morrison whose silvers in Madrid and Ishigaki 2012 World Cup produced the best ever international results by an Irish triathlete.

Gwen Jorgensen and Sarah Groff, representing USA at London 2012 will both appear in Kitzbühel. Jorgensen enters the race straight off a victory at the Banyoles World Cup and also came fourth in Sydney WTS this year. She gained Olympic selection last year with an impressive display in London last year on the 2012 Olympic course finishing second. Groff climbed the ITU World Triathlon Series podium for the first time last year in Kitzbühel with bronze.
