(BEIJING, July 14) -- With the temperature skyrocketing to 37 degrees Celsius on Sunday, Tiszaujvaros is hot. Thousands of spectators braved the midday sun to cheer the competition on in the 12th Triathlon World Cup to be held in the Hungarian town.

Olympic favorite Javier Gomez of Spain came first with a time of 1 hour 51 minutes and 32 seconds and showed the spectators that he is still the man to beat in Beijing.

Coming back from injury to show he is still on track for the Olympics was Aussie Brad Kahlefeldt who finished second, 19 seconds behind Gomez. This was the third consecutive time that Kahlefeldt has finished second, each time to Gomez.

Dmitriy Gaag of Kazakhstan finished in third place with a time of 1:52:08.

"It is the most similar race to Beijing. Heat, humidity and a non-wetsuit swim," the International Triathlon Union website quotes Gomez as commenting on the sweltering conditions, "I've won all the world cup races [I've entered] this year. I think it is the best way to go into the Games."
