Spirig wins the closest finish in Olympic triathlon history.

Canada’s Paula Findlay ran to a comfortable win at the 2010 ITU WCS race in Hyde Park, but after struggling with injuries for the previous year, she wasn’t able to replicate that fitness level that carrier her to multiple victories. She lost time on the bike and eventually struggled to the finish line as the last finisher, tears welling up during the last lap. “I hate quitting and the only reason I would have pulled out was because I was going bad… I didn’t want to quit [because of all of my supporters]. It’s very, very disappointing,” said Findlay.
