Matt Hauser confirmed his selection for the Commonwealth Games this summer by claiming victory at Oceania Triathlon Cup Gold Coast on Sunday.

The Australian finished ahead of compatriots Jake Birtwhistle and Callum McClusky at Southport’s Broadwater Parklands to clinch a memorable win on his 24th birthday.

The triumph came at the same venue where he finished fourth at the 2018 Commonwealth Games – and he will now be gunning for an improvement on that display in Birmingham in July.

Hauser crossed the line 30 seconds clear of Birtwhistle to pick up his second Oceania Triathlon Cup win of the season following his success at Devonport in February.

The 27-year-old only took up triathlon four years ago.
