Canadian Joanna Brown staged a late charge to finish second at the triathlon World Cup in New Plymouth, New Zealand, on Sunday. It was the first ever World Cup podium for Brown, who said that she was pleased with the result, especially after dealing with setbacks the past few years. Near the end of the run, Brown stormed ahead from fourth place to secure her spot on the podium. It was an emotional win for Brown, a top prospect for Triathlon Canada since 2010. That year, she took bronze at the junior world championships, but her development was then derailed with nearly three years of injuries.
