He said in last 7 years. She was still doinjg ITU for Rio, so just squeaks in last 7 years.And on the male side of course we've had quite a few high profile short course athletes move successfully to middle course at least but also long course to some extent. Alistair Brownlee (70.3 Worlds podium, Ironman wins, etc), Javier Gomez (70.3 Worlds podiums), Gustav Iden (70.3 and Ironman Worlds wins), Kristian Blummenfeldt (same as Gustav), Leo Bergere (won his couple of trips to middle distance), Vincent Luis (would have won if not for being struck by a car while leading), Jelle Geens, Marten VanRiel.
Girls: another candidate for long course success could be Loevseth (won her only trip to middle distance).
I've missed some too (Ben Kanute, ...)
I assume there would been others from ITU in countries other than USA (ie, not paid much attention to by stwitchers) who have won their tester into 70.3. Here in Aus Birtwhistle raced one last year and won, had a surprisingly amazing swim with Amberger. Likely be a few others we just dont know about. Any not front pack ITU swimmers are often strong tt bikers.
