The final day of summer in Turkey saw the European Triathlon Cup held on the standard distance. Competing among Europe’s top triathletes were Ukraine’s Daryna Moskalenko, Ivan Shevchenko and Vitalii Vorontsov.

Vorontsov completed the swim and began the bike leg within the chase pack. As is typical for the Ukrainian athlete, he showcased his strong running abilities, working alongside Romania’s Sebastian Pascal to catch the leading competitors.

Ahead of the upcoming European Championship on the standard distance, Vorontsov remains within the top 200 of the world rankings. Moskalenko finished in the second dozen in Istanbul and is also gearing up for the continental championships.
