Olympic silver medallist Hayden Wilde delivered a stunning performance to come from behind to win the Singapore T100 Triathlon season opener in Marina Bay and take an early leading in the T100 Race To Qatar.
Having emerged 15th after the swim, Wilde rose through the ranks on the bike leg. He made his move around 30km into the bike to get Bogen in his sights and traded the lead throughout the 80km.

But during the final leg, the 27-year-old Wilde showed his endurance and strength as Bogen ran out of steam and only managed 10th.
Wilde even took the time to exchange celebratory high-fives with the cheering spectators before claiming the tape.
It was his first T100 victory in 3:18:11 – pocketing US$25,000 and a crucial 35 T100 Race To Qatar Standings points. Despite slowing near the finish, he secured the day’s fastest run split of 1:01:46.
Paris 2024 bronze medallist Léo Bergère, also making his T100 debut, and reigning T100 Triathlon World Tour champion Marten Van Riel’s late surge saw them finish second and third respectively.
