Jonathan Brownlee wins World Triathlon Series event in Auckland

By , Staff Reporter
Great Britain's Jonathan Brownlee wins the second race of the World Triathlon Series in Auckland, New Zealand.

Great Britain's Jonathan Brownlee clinched victory in the Auckland leg of the 2015 World Triathlon Series at the weekend.

The 24-year-old finished the second race of the series in one hour, 55 minutes and 26 seconds, while defending champion Javier Gomez finished 15 seconds behind.

"It was great to win," BBC Sport quotes Brownlee as saying. "It's the first time I've won a World Series event for a while.

"It's great to have an honest course where you can use your strength. I swim 10 hours a week, I bike 20 hours a week and I want to be able to show that."

Brownlee's brother Alistair missed the event in New Zealand due to injury.
