(BEIJING, July 20) -- Switzerland's Nicola Spirig finished with a time of 1:57:28 in the elite women's event and Spaniard Ivan Rana finished with a time of 1:45:23 in the elite men's event to top the last triathlon world cup before Beijing 2008. The world cup was held in Kitzbühel, Austria.

In the women's 10 km run, Spirig came from behind in the final 200 m to overtake France's Carole Peon and pocket her second world cup title. Sam Warriner of New Zealand finished third for the 12th world cup medal of her career.

The World No. 1, Australia's Felicity Abram, failed to make it to the second lap of the 1.5 km swim, as completing two straight world cups over the two previous weeks had left her exhausted.
