On July 12, 2026, the second stage of the Moscow Thunder Cup, a sprint triathlon competition, was held on the Rowing Channel in Krylatskoye. The participants had to overcome 750 meters by swimming, 20 kilometers by bike and 5 kilometers by running.
The main feature of the route is the famous “Krylatsky hills” on the bike stage. Constant ascents and descents require not only physical strength, but also excellent technique. It was here that the fate of many participants was decided.Filming this event was a real challenge.
It was necessary to have time to capture the dynamics at all stages: the start, where athletes rush into the water, tense faces on bicycle lifts and finishing acceleration on the treadmill. The moments when the athletes got out of the water and switched to the bike stage were especially impressive — a real test of functional training.I managed to capture the emotions of the participants, the drive of the race and the beauty of Krylatsky.
It was clear that for many it was not just a race, but a large-scale gathering of like-minded people.
It was great to work on this event. If you are organizing a sporting event or looking for a photographer to photograph your athletes, I will be glad to cooperate. Write to us and we’ll discuss the details.
