Full Distance - Story of the Race

Perfect skies, glassy seas, and a course carved between city and shore set the stage for Stop 2 and the first European battle of the 2025 World Cup series.
Michele Bonacina set the pace out of the water with a split of 19:42, but Felix Forissier stayed locked on through both loops, making his intentions clear from the start.
Aneta Grabmüller set the pace for the women, leading the field out of the water in 20:54 with Anna Zehnder and Emma Ducreux close behind.
Series leader Alizée Paties hit dry land with work to do, trailing by over two minutes—but her strongest cards were still to be played.
The early stages of the bike saw Michele Bonacina and Felix Forissier locked in a battle up front, pushing the pace on Vouliagmeni’s fast and technical trails.
But it wasn’t long before Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen launched his charge, surging through the field with a strong push to the front.
While the battles raged up front, nobody rode the trails faster than Sébastien Carabin, who scorched the bike course in a blistering 1:20:34.
Alizée Paties made her move on the bike, using her strength and technical skills to take control of the race and post the fastest split of the day in 1:33:52.
Behind the leader, Marta Menditto found her rhythm on the bike, settling into second place as the chase for podium spots began to take shape.
When the race entered the run, it was Sloth Nielsen pushing the tempo, with Forissier remaining patient and calculated as the battle for the win unfolded on the hills.
Making his move into third, Arthur Forissier pushed hard through the hills, determined to secure his return to the podium in Greece.
With Alizée Paties firmly in control, the chase for silver heated up between Marta Menditto and Anna Zehnder on the steep climbs of Vouliagmeni.
Running down a gap of nearly three minutes, Anna Zehnder earned a World Cup best—taking second place on the very course where she made her XTERRA debut.
But nobody had an answer for Alizée Paties, who now remains unbeaten after two stops and three races in the 2025 World Cup.
Blood at first strike for Felix Forissier, claiming the win on his season debut with Sloth Nielsen in second and brother Arthur Forissier rounding out the podium.
Still the names to beat—Denmark’s Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen and France’s Alizée Paties hold the World Cup leads as the series heads to the UK for the first time.
