Mexico dominated the winners’ stands at the 14th edition of the Gran Pacífico Triathlon on Sunday in the Elite division.

Media published only the winners of the Elite competition this year although 1,000 athletes took part in several categories. In both the female and male Elite competitions the first, second and third places were all won by Mexican athletes. Rodrígo González recorded the winning time of 1:53:48 and Andrea Díaz won the ladies with a time of 2:09:08.

When speaking to reporters, Ismael Barros, director of the event, addressed rumours that the Sinaloa government had reduced its budget for the triathlon saying the event would continue next year although with “possible” significant changes.

He expects important changes for next year, he said, including a possible change in date and the former sponsor Grupo Modelo no longer taking a direct administrative role.
