Teen ace Denslow enters Troutbeck race

ZIMBABWE will for the first time be represented in the men and women’s elite categories of the Bonaqua Troutbeck ATU Sprint Triathlon African Cup following the confirmation of local teenage sensation Matthew Denslow in the elite men’s field ahead of this year’s prestigious race set for February 22 at Troutbeck Resort in Nyanga.

Initially, Laurelle Brown was expected to be the only Zimbabwean triathlete to feature in the elite category after confirming her participation in the elite women’s race, with Denslow (19) poised to defend his title in the Bonaqua ATU Junior African Cup.

Last year, Denslow underlined his massive potential after winning a gold medal in the junior men’s race of the inaugural Bonaqua ATU Junior African Cup which ran concurrently with the 2019 Bonaqua Troutbeck ATU Sprint Triathlon African Cup.
