TRIATHLON – EmbrunMan (M): William Mennesson wins the 36th edition

France’s William Mennesson won today the 36th edition of the EmbrunMan, one of the toughest triathlons in the world (3.8-190-42). After completing the bike leg, which includes the ascent of the Col de l’Izoard (2,360 m), in 5h50 and arriving first at T2, the Stade Français Triathlon club member was not caught during the 42 km marathon.

On the 2nd step of the podium was Croatia’s Andrej Vistica, and Spain’s Victor del Corral Morales took 3rd. Romain Guillaume finished 6th, just ahead of Gwenaël Ouillières in 7th.

William Mennesson succeeds Belgium’s Diego Van Looy in the EmbrunMan’s roll of honor. The last French victory was in 2011 with Hervé Faure.

In the early morning, nearly 1,200 competitors started to tackle The Myth.
