Kiwis conquer Xterra Beaver Creek: Sam Osborne and Samantha Kingsford win elite races

Jesse Peters/Xterra
BEAVER CREEK — Sam Osborne and Samantha Kingsford have an ongoing wager going into every triathlon they enter: lowest result gets stuck cleaning the bikes afterward.
That bet was a push on Saturday at Beaver Creek. Both New Zealanders, who started dating 10 years ago in college, claimed wins in the men’s and women’s elite divisions as Xterra mountain racing returned to Avon and Beaver Creek after a year hiatus brought on by the pandemic.
Defending champion Josiah Middaugh, 42, of EagleVail, who’d claimed six of the seven previous Xterra triathlons on the punishing mountain course he’d help design more than a decade ago, took third, coming in just behind Sam Long, 25, of Boulder.

Concerns over water quality at Olympic triathlon venue
Earlier this week, Bloomberg Business posted a concerning report about the water quality in the Tokyo Bay, which happens to be the swim venue for the Olympic triathlon as well as the open-water swimming events. Noting that the city of Tokyo has taken drastic steps to remedy a 2019 E. coli outbreak in the water that forced the cancelation of the swim portion of the Paratiathlon test event there (the bacteria was found in the water then was at more than twice the limit set by the International Triathlon Union), the piece says that officials are confident that their screening system will provide a secure environment to hold the games. However, it also reported that the water in Tokyo currently “stinks” and that the main issue is rooted in pollution connected to Tokyo’s old-fashioned, combined sewer system. The current concern harkens back to similar water-quality worries at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, which was played down by athletes (somewhat relatedly, Reuters reported that, among 380 athletes in the sailing events in Rio, only one complained that the water quality had affected their performance.)
