For Hayden Wilde: After a couple of postponements and disruptions over the poor quality of water in the Seine River for the swimming section of the competitions, Cassandre Beaugrand of France and Alex Yee of Great Britain won the women's and men's Triathlon titles in the 33rd Olympic Games here on Wednesday.

Both came up with brilliant tactical races to emerge winners in their respective events -- Beaugrand winning the first gold for France in the Triathlon.

World No.1 Beaugrand ran a beautifully tactical race to finish first with an overall timing of 1:54:55, finishing ahead of Julie Derron of Switzerland, who clocked 1:55:01. Great Britain's Beth Potter took the bronze medal with a timing of 1:55:10.
