The World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) plans to bring more IRONMAN triathlon series to China and expects a rapid growth of the sport here after last weekend's successful debut of the IRONMAN 70.3 in Hefei, Anhui province.
Tens of thousands of spectators helped set the scene in Hefei as Brad Kahlefeldt from Australia and Radka Vodickova from the Czech Republic earned victories at the inaugural Hefei Wanda City IRONMAN 70.3 on Sunday.
Kahlefeldt took top honors in the men's race with an overall time of 3:55:31, while Vodickova bested the women's field with a time of 4:13:49.
