Bob Haller’s statement :
“They said it before, an extremely hard race!! I was warned…
With a very good swim I came out in the top 10 and could even do an excellent transition. In the 5th position out on the lead pack with another 20 athletes.
In the second lap the chase group caught as and we were nearly 60 athletes coming up to the second transition.
I was the first to step in and second out. Too keen…I followed Rodrigo on the first 2k! But then a group of a dozen athletes caught me..it was so damned warm 
☀️ I came in 13th position at the finish line.
Olympic points on the account! Letz do it!”
Ech war gewarnt! Eng extrem schwéier course virun allem wéinst den Wierderkonditiounen!
mat engem super Schwammen sinn ech als Top 10 aus dem Mier eraus, dat grad mol 30 Grad hat. Loftemperatur waren 33 Grad a prall Sonn,mgefillten 35 an Loftfichtegkeet 90%!
Ech konnt vum Schwammen an der Transitioun 5 Plaze gudd machen an sinn mam Leadpack za 25 Athleten vir eraus. Am 2. Velostour hun den Verfolgergrupp eis eremkritt. Lo waren mir baal all zu 60 zesummen fir an den parc fermé.
Ech hun et haut hinkritt an kommen als 1. eran a kann als 2. Op t’Lafen! Ech war king genuch dem Rodrigo nozelafen an hunn et 2 km gepackt, ét emGrupp vun enger Dozen Athleten mech eremkruten. Als 13. Lafen ech an Ziel an kréien 156 olympesch Punkten.
Letz do it! Ech hoffen et geet elo endlech gudd weider.
