1 Hurt in Indian Wells – La Quinta Ironman Race

 
INDIAN WELLS, CA (December 7, 2021) – Sunday, French triathlete Vincent Luis suffered injuries in the Indian Wells – La Quinta Ironman Race.
 
“I was leading the race and with maybe 15 km (9.3 mi) to go; the lead car took a wrong turn and I got hit by a car, hit the deck pretty hard. It was tough,” Vincent Luis said.
 
As a result, Luis’s arms were battered and blood was visible on his face. Then, he continued back on his bike to reach the finish line.
 
Despite his injuries, Luis finished the race with a time of 03:41:07 and took home the silver medal.
 
“We are very thankful that Vincent’s injuries were not serious, and that despite the challenges faced, he overcame adversity to still finish in second place with a very gritty performance. We are in contact with Vincent to support him how we are able and wish him a speedy recovery,” Ironman said.
