Paris Olympics: Cassandre Beaugrand wins France’s first triathlon gold

France’s Cassandre Beaugrand clinched victory in the women’s triathlon at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday, which finally began in the Seine after days of suspense over whether the river would be clean enough for athletes. Beaugrand, 27, triumphed after a remarkable bunched finish, opening up a gap in the late stages of the run from Switzerland’s Julie Derron who finished second, and Britain’s third-placed Beth Potter.
