Nordberg’s winning time of 1:57:33 was the result of the consistent splits throughout all three disciplines.

In the women’s Olympic race, Holly Walker of Bozeman, Montana crused the field with a dominating bike split (1:09:27). Johanna Nielsen of Salt Lake City, Utah tried to run her way back on to the top of the podium with the day’s fastest run split (39:55), but ran out of real estate.
