INTERNATIONAL SPOTLIGHT: ANNE HAUG
If you’re looking for a sentimental favorite other than the Americans to cheer for, consider GERMANY’S ANNE HAUG; her performance at the World
Triathlon Series race in Madrid, where she qualified for the team, was nothing short of courageous. She missed the first bike pack out of the swim, and knowing that she had to finish in the top 12 to qualify for the team, she did all the work on the bike to bridge up. This was a big risk, given Madrid’s notoriously brutal bike
course could have sapped her legs of the energy required to run her way into the top 12. She ultimately finished fourth, fading from the leaders only in the final 400 meters of the
10k. Her performance later prompted reigning Olympic champion Jan Frodeno to tweet,
“Anne Haug showed how it’s done yesterday — no matter what, at the end you can say you
gave it all.” — Courtney Baird
