Paris 2024 Paralympics: GB’s Ellis storms to long-awaited triathlon gold
There were 11 British athletes competing across seven of the triathlon categories.
Henry Urand, two days after his 22nd birthday, narrowly missed out on a medal as he finished fourth in the men’s PTS3.
Alison Peasgood, silver medallist at Rio 2016, finished fourth in the women’s PTVI – the same position in which she finished in Tokyo.
Michael Taylor finished sixth in the men’s PTS4 with Finley Jakes 11th, as French hero and hot favourite Alexis Hainquinquant took gold in front of the delighted Paris crowd.
Hainquinquant, one of the torch carriers at the opening ceremony, continued his streak of winning every major men’s PTS4 championship race since 2017.
The first to race was Melissa Nicholls, in the women’s PTWC – the event for wheelchair users.
Nicholls, racing in Paralympic triathlon for the first time after competing in athletics for GB in 2012 and 2016, finished eighth.
All 11 triathlon events took place on Monday, having been delayed by 24 hours because of water quality concerns in the River Seine, where the swimming legs took place.
