De Belgische age group triatleten (de niet-pro’s dus) presteerden sterk in het wereldkampioenschap 70.3 Ironman in Nice, met zes top-tien plaatsen, een wereldtitel en een zilveren medaille. Pamphiel Pareyn en Lukas Bosmans waren de snelste Belgische age groupers, al zat er maar 1 seconde tussen de twee sterke Belgen. Pareyn werd derde age grouper overall en pakte zilver in de M25 categorie. Lukas Bosmans werd wereldkampioen bij de M30. Een overzicht van alle 90 Belgische triatleten, waarvan er 89 de finish haalden op de Promenade des Anglais.
Pamphiel Pareyn was natuurlijk in de wolken met zijn derde plaats overall: “Uiteraard ben ik super tevreden met mijn zwemwedstrijd. het zwemmen verliep goed maar in het fietsen ging het echt super waar ik ten opzichte van vorig jaar 6 Ã 7 minuten sneller fietste. In het lopen kon ik vervolgens een constant tempo aanhouden. Deze wedstrijd was echt ongelooflijk mooi om mee te maken en ook een ferme ervaring om al deze kleppers aan het werk te zien.”
