Lotte Miller even crashed twice during the cycling stage. The second accident forced the Norwegian racer to retire. Laura Lindemann (Germany) fell when there were only three laps left to finish the cycling stage. She was in the leading group but then gradually fell behind after the accident. Commenting on television, former British triathlete Annie Emerson was not satisfied: " I think Laura Lindemann did nothing wrong. She is strong, technical and very good. The road was like grease and that was the cause of many unexpected incidents that we witnessed. I don't remember any race where so many people had to retire." Meanwhile, the British Daily Mail commented: " The women's triathlon event witnessed chaos and many collisions occurred in the cycling stage. The female athletes were heavily affected when they had to cycle after the rain in Paris. The road was very slippery and was one of the causes of the incidents ." The heptathlon champion was Cassandre Beaugrand (France) with a time of 1 hour 54 minutes 55 seconds. The silver medallist was Julie Derron (Switzerland). Potter later won the bronze medal, while the world champion took a place on the podium behind France's Cassandre Beaugrand and Switzerland's Julie Derron. Beth Potter (Great Britain) took the bronze medal.
