Nakapambihirang triple na si Tim Reed ng Australia samantalang sumosyo si Amelia Watkinson ng New Zealand sa karangalan sa 9th Ironman 70.3 Philippines 2017 kahapon sa ShangriLa Mactan Resort and Spa sa Cebu.
Pero nabahiran ng lungkot ang dalawa nang mabatid na may namatay na triathlete na sumali sa 45-49 age group, trahedyang naganap na rin noong 2009 at 2012 dito rin.
Lumalabas nanalunod si Eric Mediavillo, 47, ng PMMA Multi Sport Team, sa 1.9K swim na pambungad na stage bago ang 90K bike, 21K run race na inorganisa ng Sunrise Events, Inc.
“We are deeply saddened to confirm the death of one of our athletes following the Ironman 70.3 Philippines in Cebu. The athlete required medical attention during the swim portion of Sunday’s race and was properly transported to a nearby hospital where they were treated. Our condolences go out to the athlete’s family and friends, whom we will continue to support,” pahayag ng Ironman Philippines.
Nagsumite si Reed ng clocking na 3:54:07, binalya sa second ang iniwan niya ng higit 2 minutes na si Mauricio Mendez ng Mexico (3:56:46).
Tumersera ang Australyano ring si Ryan Fisher sa 4:00:20.
Naorasan si Watkinson ng 4:29:17, 6minutes, 36 seconds sa unahan ni Jacqueline Thistleton. Third si Aussie Kerry Morris (4:39:11).
