Canadian triathletes Mislawchuk, Sharpe race to top-5 World Cup finishes
NEW PLYMOUTH, New Zealand — Canadian triathletes Tyler Mislawchuk and Matt Sharpe recorded top-five World Cup finishes on Sunday in their final tuneup race before the Commonwealth Games.
Mislawchuk, from Oak Bluff, Man., raced to a career-best fourth place, missing the podium by one second.
“I showed up today to win and came up a little short, but I’m super happy with the effort put forward,” Mislawchuk said. “This is a great sign of things to come in two weeks time (at the Commonwealth Games) on the Gold Coast.”
Victoria’s Sharpe finished one spot back in fifth.
