Il 23 aprile 2017 si sono disputati a Paphos e a Danao due tappe del circuito mondiale di cross triathlon marchiato XTERRA.

XTERRA Cyprus era alla sua prima edizione e ha visto trionfare il belga Yeray Luxem, alla sua seconda vittoria della serie dopo la Polonia del 2016; e l’ungherese Brigitta Poor, reduce dal successo a Malta del 2 aprile e vincitrice nella passata stagione dell’XTERRA European Tour Champ.

Nell’isola di Cebu, a Danao, invece, in una giornata caldissima e su un percorso durissimo, si è disputata la 7^ edizione dell’XTERRA Philippines che ha premiato il sudafricano Bradly Weiss (terzo successo di fila qui), stremato al traguardo, che ha chiuso in 3:16:00. Sul podio con lui due kiwi, Sam Osborne e Kieran McPherson.

Tra le donne, inarrestabile Carina Wasle: l’austriaca stravince, porta a tre le vittorie 2017 e a 16 in totale i suoi successi in prove XTERRA; alle sue spalle arrivano l’australiana Penny Slater e la statuninse Jessica Koltz.
