It was the last corner on the 2020 Triathlon in the northern Spanish city of Santander on September 13. British competitor James Teagle, who was in third place, missed the bend and ran into one of the metal barriers lining the route, having become disorientated by the signage at the final meters of the race. Diego Méntrida, a 21-year-old Madrileño, had been close to his competitor during the final stage, just a second behind, but on seeing his error decided not to take advantage of it, letting the Briton cross the line before him – in the process giving up what could have been the first podium of his career.
