FANOUS STEPS UP OLYMPIC BID

Lawrence Fanous has reignited his Olympic dream with a credible showing in Sunday’s ITU Triathlon World Cup event held in Mexico.

Following a year to date of mixed fortunes, Fanous finished 39^th in a world class field, and just one minute and 19 seconds from the winner Richard Murray of South Africa.

He will step up his bid to qualify for next summer’s Olympics by competing this weekend in the USA followed by races towards the end of the month in South Korea and Hong Kong.

Currently Fanous stands fourth in the Asian Olympic rankings.
