" The ITU Photo of the Year is a competition decided by you, the fans, but this week the response was so big it deserves a round of applause. And it was all down to two extremely popular shots, the image of Brazil’s Eduardo Lass exiting the water in the junior men’s race, and Morocco’s Mohamed Lahna crossing the finish line in his Paratriathlon world championship race.
Early on in the week, Lahna was clearly ahead - but that was before the Brazilians chimed in, helped along by Lass himself who tweeted the poll. For a day Lass was ahead, before the picture of Lahna moved ahead in the final day of voting to win with 40.65 per cent of the vote. Image No.2 finished with 38.07 per cent. It’s certainly fitting in what was a huge year for Paratriathlon, this world titles were the first where athletes had the goal of competing at the Paralympics - after the sport was officially accepted into the programme for the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Just a few weeks ago, the ITU officially became a member of the IPC. And your comments reflected just how inspiring Paratriathlon can be"
