Germany's Jan Frodeno out-kicked world champion Javier Gomez and 2 other former medalists earlier this morning at the men's triathlon final. Like the women's final this contest became a foot race, with Frodeno gluing himself to Gomez in the last several hundred meters of the race before busting ahead of the lead pack to take the gold. A true testament to how close the race was - USA's Hunter Kemper finished in 7th place even though he was less than 60 seconds behind the leader.
