Following his fifth place finish at last weekend's Hy-Vee ITU Triathlon Elite Cup, 2008 world champion, Javier Gomez from Spain overtook Great Britain's Alistair Brownlee to top the Dextro Energy Triathlon - ITU World Championship Series Rankings.
Athletes can utilise results from a range of four Dextro Energy Triathlon - ITU World Championship fixtures or ITU Triathlon World Cups to make up their final score. With Brownlee relying on his two wins from the Madrid and Washington legs, Gomez was able to surpass his score with third in Madrid, second in Washington and then fifth in Hy-Vee.
Emma Moffatt's win at the Hy-Vee ITU Triathlon Elite Cup is an improvement on her second place at the Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup from the start of the season and allows her to stay at the top of the women's ranking ahead of compatriot Emma Snowsill. New Zealand's Andrea Hewitt hangs on to third.
