Jodie Stimpson put herself in pole position to book the third and final spot in Britains team for the Rio Olympics by winning the opening World Triathlon Series race of the season in Abu Dhabi.Stimpson was Britains top-ranked woman in 2014 and won Commonwealth Games gold but struggled with injury last year and had to watch as Non Stanford and Vicky Holland clinched their Olympic places.The final spot looks likely to be decided by a battle between Stimpson and former world champion Helen Jenkins, who also performed impressively in Abu Dhabi to finish third.The key battle will take place at the race in the Gold Coast next month, and Stimpson said: This winter couldnt have gone any better.There are a group of us that havent made our Olympic slots yet so were extremely motivated. Me and Helen are great rivals. Shes a fantastic athlete and I have so much respect for her.Were both in the same boat. Whoever has the best race in the Gold Coast goes, and if Helen beats me then she deserves to go and I cant say more than that.The British pair were part of a quartet of athletes along with Flora Duffy and Ashleigh Gentle that broke away at the start of the 10-kilometre run.Stimpson made her move in the final 2km, with Australian Gentle beating Jenkins to silver.Spains Mario Mola won the mens race in the absence of world champion compatriot Javier Gomez and Britains Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, with Adam Bowden the highest placed of the British competitors in 11th.Victor Hedman Jersey .

The nation entered the night with 13 medals and left the track with a total of 19, including five golds.Its been a good night, long jump winner Bartoletta said. It was an awesome hour.Bartoletta kicked it off by unseating defending Olympic champion Brittney Reese in the long jump. Moments later, Bowie won her second medal in Rio by taking bronze in the 200 meters. Not long after that, Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin accomplished some history by finishing 1-2-3 in the hurdles.Its a relief.
