Zamora-Perez posted a second-best 48:48 swim, a second-best 5:50:25 bike split, and closed with a third-quickest 3:00:24 marathon to finish in 9:43:13 with a 4:26 margin of victory over 2015 Embrunman winner Andrej Vistica of Croatia. Jaroslav Kovacic of Slovenia took 3rd, 5:25 behind the winner.

Zamora-Perez thus added a record sixth Embrunman win to his previous victories in in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Zamora-Perez’s 9:43:13 mark was the 8th fastest winning time in Embrunman history, falling 9:03 behind Hervé Faure’s 9:34:10 mark set in 2011.

Deckers posted a women’s 2nd-best 55:02 swim, women’s 2nd-best 6:31:32 bike split, and women’s 3rd-fastest 3:20:28 marathon to finish in 10:51:14 with a 3:22 margin of victory over 2016 Embrunman winner Carrie Lester of Australia. Decker’s bike split – 6:50 better than Lester – made the difference.

Deckers’ winning time was the second-best in Embrunman history – 4:48 behind Lester’s 10:46:26 mark set last year.
