Four super Aussies delivered a statement performance at Bathurst's Mount Panorama. 🤯 One Olympian summed up the race with a brilliant one-liner. 😂 9WWOS WorldCrossCountry
The team even led the field at the halfway point, having been catapulted into the lead by an instantly iconic second leg produced by Hull, who dragged the Australians from third to first.
Rising Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo executed the greatest performance of his career yet, clinching gold in the men's senior race as he upstaged countryman and hot favourite Joshua Cheptegei, as well as Kenya's Geoffrey Kamworor. When Hoare passed the ribbon to Hull five minutes and 41 seconds into the relay, South Africa had the lead, Kenya sat in second and Australia was running third.
"I started to realise towards the billabong I wasn't losing any more ground, trying to be strong on the uphills but stronger on the downhills and really, really embrace the crowd." Australia's Leanne Pompeani was also in distress, slumping to the ground about 20m from the finish line. She staggered back to her feet, wobbled to the finish line and was carted to a medical tent in a wheelchair.
