Jeanne Lehair Earns Silver at WTCS Fréjus, Luxembourg Triathletes Deliver Mixed Results

Luxembourg triathlete Jeanne Lehair soared to a second-place finish at the World Triathlon Championship Series (WTCS) sprint race in Fréjus, France. A few days earlier, she had celebrated victory in Chicago’s Supertri event, making this a stellar week for her.

In Fréjus, Lehair led from the water, held her place within the cycle’s lead group, and maintained a front-running position during the run, ultimately finishing just six seconds behind France’s Olympic champion, Cassandre Beaugrand. Léonie Périault claimed third, 17 seconds behind the winner. 

On the men's side, David Lang made an impressive debut in the WTCS by securing 31st place in a field dominated by Australia’s Matthew Hauser, who took the win, followed by Portugal’s Vasco Vilaça and Brazil’s Miguel Hidalgo. 

Meanwhile, Gregor Payet savored success in Austria, finishing the 70.3 triathlon in Zell am See in 3:47:11 and landing a place on the podium just behind winner Fabian Kraft. 

At the European Triathlon Championships in Istanbul, Luxembourg's Lucas Cambrésy delivered his best-ever international performance, finishing a strong 13th. 

Not all athletes had such smooth sailing—Tom Heyart experienced a fall during a transition phase at the European Cup in Zagreb but still completed the race, coming in 26th.
