Newcastle triathlete Aaron Royle says he’s the future of the sport in Australia, after taking out the under-23 world title.
A traditionally strong swimmer, the 22-year-old was among the leaders as they headed for the bike leg.
Royle hovered in third going into the run, before making his move in the home straight.
“It was a great day, very tough course and we worked hard on the bike.”
He’ll now focus on his goal of competing in the Rio Olympics.
