Taylor-Brown just edged out

BERMUDA’S Flora Duffy got the better of Great Britain’s Georgia Taylor-Brown in the Abu Dhabi heat to win a record fourth World Triathlon title.

The win also gave the 35-yearold Olympic and Commonwealth champion victory in the Championship series.

Duffy moved clear of the Briton midway through the 10km run and quickly pulled away with Taylor-Brown unable to respond.

She clocked one hour 53 minutes and 24 seconds to take victory; Taylor-Brown 64 seconds back in second, with Germany’s Lena Meissner third.
