Olympic champion Cassandre Beaugrand delighted a raucous home crowd as she powered to a sensational win at the T1 Indoor Triathlon World Cup Lievin.

The French superstar was the clear favourite and she showed why as she was never troubled earlier in the day as she cruised into the final.

And though she was ‘only’ second out of the water in the super short format (200m swim, 2.8km bike, 1km run), she eased to the front by T2 and left her rivals trailing on the run.

Germany’s Laura Lindemann, who also won gold in Paris when anchoring her country’s Mixed Team Relay, was second, with her compatriot Annika Koch rounding out the podium in third.

French delight

But this was all about Beaugrand.

She was a second behind Jolien Vermeylen after the 200m swim but the Belgian’s transition cost her – Beaugrand, in contrast, moving to the front early on the bike.

It would come back together late on the 2.8km bike course but it was Beaugrand – who else – who was first out of T2.

Given her run prowess and the fact she’s recently shattered the French 5k record on the road, there was surely no one going to catch Beaugrand bar a mishap.

Lindemann got closest but it was all relative – Beaugrand was able to celebrate before the line and still have six seconds to spare, a huge margin given a total winning time of 10:19.
