Britain's Tim Don has won the World Triathlon Championships in Lausanne today, Sunday 3 September. The Londoner won with a break on the run section that saw him pull away from the Olympic champion, Hamish Carter of New Zealand.

In a double celebration for Britain, Will Clarke won the Under 23 World title by a convincing margin of over 30 seconds from Australia's Nathan Campbell.

Britain now holds its breath waiting for another victory as the International Triathlon Union announces tomorrow who will win the right to host the 2010 World Championships.

Britain's hopes lie with Salford following four successful years of hosting World Cup events on Salford Quays.

In other results today Andrea Whitcombe was Britain's highest finishing woman in 6th and Vanessa Raw was fourth in the Under 23 race. Alistair Brownlee won the men's junior title and will be a hot prospect for 2010 and 2012 along with Under 23 Champion Clarke and Olly Freeman.
