Jumpei Furuya claims 7th place at 2017 Mooloolaba ITU World Cup

Australian’s own Luke Willian and Emma Jackson take top of the podiums on home soil on Saturday, 11 March. Jumpei Furuya had a good swim and bike with the lead group and made a 7th-place finish. Sena Tkahashi and Aoi Kuramoto struggled the swim due to the beach start and waves. It was too much of a gap to catch the lead group, however, they also earned ITU points at the race.
