Triathlon events at the Paralympic Games finally got the green light Monday after water quality issues, and home favorite Alexis Hanquinquant seized his chance to defend his title and claim one of France’s four gold medals of the day.
The Normandy native finished in 58 minutes, 1 second – almost three minutes ahead of American Carson Clough and Spain’s Nil Riudavets Victory – who claimed silver and bronze respectively in the men’s PTS4 class triathlon.
