Team Sweden's three-time World Champion Jonas Andersson overtook Victory Team rival Shaun Torrente and overcame several yellow-flag stoppages to secure victory at a pulsating UIM FIH2O Grand Prix of Shanghai, China on the Huangpu River on Saturday afternoon.
A 17th career victory for the defending champion enabled him to move into a three-point lead in the UIM FIH2O World Championship after early season leader Rusty Wyatt of the Sharjah Team rolled out of contention on lap 12 of 39.
Torrente started from pole position and managed to fend off Andersson's challenge for 11 laps before the pressure paid off for the Swede and he moved ahead. Despite three yellow flag stoppages in an action-packed race, Andersson was able to keep Torrente at bay with the race finishing under a yellow when two-time champion Sami Seliö rolled out of fourth place on lap 35.
Andersson's teammate Grant Trask emerged from the carnage unscathed to secure an impressive third place on his Team Sweden debut and move the team into a similar position behind the Victory Team and the Sharjah Team in the UIM FIH2O Teams' Championship.
