The inaugural Challenge Dubai attracted nearly 850 athletes from 45 countries, among them Olivier Godart for another start as a professional athlete.
Olivier managed to perform steadily in all 3 disciplines despite difficult weather conditions with strong winds and tall waves. He placed himself on 43rd rank overall after a very strong run in 1h18min!
Well done for this great performance in a world-class field!
The men’s final results were shuffled after five athletes were penalized for unintentionally not following the course.
