Switzerland's Julie Derron claimed a commanding victory at the Dubai TIOO on Saturday, crossing the finish line ahead of Race to Qatar leader Kate Waugh and Jessica Learmonth as the penultimate stop of the TIOO Triathlon World Tour delivered drama both on and off the course.

Derron, the Olympic silver medallist, produced a complete performance across all three disciplines to take her second TIOO victory of the season, navigating choppy waters, challenging winds, and the technical Dubai circuit with precision.
"I'm super happy to take the win today," said Derron. "I was really happy to come back to Dubai. I had a great time last year, and arriving here this year, I just had so much positive energy. The swim was super challenging, quite choppy in the water, and there was quite a bit of wind on the bike as well, so I had to really push to stay in contention, in contact with Jess."
