France's Beaugrand wins Olympic Gold after Triathlon finally goes ahead

France's CassandreBeaugrand clinched victory in the women's triathlon at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday.

Beaugrand triumphed after a remarkable bunched finish, opening up a gap in the late stages of the run from Switzerland's Julie Derron who finished second, and Britain's third-placed Beth Potter.

The race took place at all was a triumph and relief for organisers who have been sweating on the state of the Seine since last Friday when the French capital was deluged by rain during the opening ceremony.
