Wilde wins in Singapore

Kiwi triathlete Hayden Wilde made the perfect start to his season, claiming victory in the final round of the Arena GamesWorld Championship Series in Singapore. The Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist hadn’t featured at last month’s opening two rounds of the competition in Germany and England, but showed all his class in Saturday’s finale of the real-life/virtual reality blended event. With the swim leg taking place in either an Olympic-sized pool, or in Singapore’s case an open-water marina, the bike and run disciplines are then completed on smart trainers and self-powered curved treadmills.
