Ramos battled through shifting weather conditions and a demanding championship course to prevail in 2:14:00 over the grueling Olympic-distance test composed of a 1.5km swim, 40km bike, and 10km run.

Early morning rain greeted the athletes before the swim start, but the conditions quickly changed as the rain gave way to searing heat that persisted throughout the bike and run segments, further testing the competitors' endurance and race strategies.
