Pearson completed the elite men\u2019s course \u2013 1,500-meter swim, 40-kiometer bike ride and 10-kilometer run \u2013 in 1 hour, 42 minutes, 5 seconds. His 10k time was 29:11, the fastest in the field.<\/p>\n<p>He voided a pileup on the final la of the bike race to set himself up for the run.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I could win one of these, but these guys are beasts and training just as hard as me,\u201d Pearson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatriathlon.org\/articles\/news\/u-s-elite-triathlete-morgan-pearson-wins-world-triathlon-championship-series-yokohama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told USA Triathlon<\/a>. \u201cEveryone wants to win. You can be in the shape of your life and still have things go wrong or someone be fitter. You just have to show up and give it your best and today my best was good enough. Last year I had some back problems and I did Miami (this March) to do an Olympic-distance race and test my health rather than (racing) Abu Dhabi. This is a nice way to start the season, but of course we all know who is missing today and it\u2019s still a long way to Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fellow American <strong>Matt McElroy<\/strong> finished 13th, with <strong>Darr Smith<\/strong> and <strong>Seth Rider<\/strong> 25th and 26th, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, Olympian <strong>Taylor Knibb<\/strong> won another medal in Japan. A gold medalist there in 2021 before she won Olympic silver in Tokyo in the mixed relay, she added silver in the elite women\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p>Knibb finished in 1:53.04, 36 seconds behind the winning time of France\u2019s <strong>Leonie Periault.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fourth was <strong>Taylor Spivey,<\/strong> who is ranked fourth in the world this year with two podium finishes. Though she has yet to qualify for Paris, she is in strong position. As is <strong>Kirsten Kasper,<\/strong> who finished fifth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gwen Jorgensen,<\/strong> the Olympic gold medalist at the Rio Olympics in 2016, finished 15th, having returned to the sport in 2022. Tokyo Olympic qualifier <strong>Summer Rappaport<\/strong> was 49th.<\/p>\n<p>The Yokohama event was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatriathlon.org\/articles\/features\/how-elite-triathletes-qualify-paris-2024-olympic-and-paralympic-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the last automatic qualification event for the Paris Olympics<\/a>. (Pearson and Knibb qualified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/triathlon-morgan-pearson-taylor-knibb-qualify-for-paris-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at the Paris Test Event in 2023<\/a>.) Discretionary selections will be made between now and mid-June based on performances at WTCS and World Cup races. Up to three men and three women can be among the 55 competitors in each event. There are a men\u2019s event, a women\u2019s event and a mixed relay, in which Knibb and Pearson helped the U.S. to silver in Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Four American athletes also won gold in their paratriathlon classifications <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatriathlon.org\/articles\/news\/u-s-elite-paratriathletes-win-six-medals-at-world-triathlon-para-series-yokohama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in Yokohama at the World Triathlon Para Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Three-time Paralympian <strong>Chris Hammer<\/strong> won the men\u2019s PTS5 title in the sprint distance. <strong>Mark Barr,<\/strong> a three-time Paralympian in triathlon and swimming dating back to 2004 and a former Division I swimmer at Cal Poly, won the men\u2019s PTS2 race.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hailey Danz<\/strong> captured the women\u2019s PTS2 race. <strong>Kelly Elmlinger<\/strong> won the PTS4 classification. Danz, a two-time Paralympic silver medalist, and Elmlinger are both qualified for Paris, as is Barr. Hammer, 38, is still vying for a place in Paris, which would be his fourth Paralympics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Owen Cravens<\/strong> won bronze in the PTVI classification with guide <strong>Ben Hoffman. Rachel Watts<\/strong> was second in the PTS3 women\u2019s race. Cravens is one of 10 American athletes already qualified for the Paralympics in Paris.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Pearson Makes History with World Triathlon Series Win
