In search of races that would play on TV for their new World Championship series of eight worldwide events, the International Triathlon Union sought out internationally renowned cities on four continents with iconic backdrops for the action. They scored a hit when Washington DC organizer Chuck Brodsky worked got permission to hold the North American leg in our nation's capital. So Olympic medalists like Simon Whitfield, Jan Frodeno, Bevan Docherty, Emmas Snowsill and Moffatt came to race. On a cloudy to sunny day, rising star Alistair Brownlee topped World Champion Javier Gomez and Miss Moffatt topped her renowned training partner Snowy. Meanwhile, a still recovering from injury Sarah Haskins held US honors with a strong fourth place finish and Andy Potts (4th) and Hunter Kemper (5th) finished ahead of Olympic and World Championship medalists Whitfield (DNF) Docherty (DNF) Frodeno (6th) and Daniel Unger (11th) to represent the red white and blue on home ground.
