New Zealand triathlete Andrea Hewitt performed strongly to finish sixth in the latest round of the world championship series in Germany yesterday.

Her result in the fourth round at Hamburg lifted her to fourth place overall with three races to go.

The Christchurch athlete was on the pace throughout but could not match the speed of the winner, Sweden's Lisa Norden, silver medallist Emma Moffatt of Australia, and third-placed Aileen Morrison of Ireland.
