Henrietta Freeman is the new ITU Duathlon World Junior Champion after the most amazing sporting performance of the weekend so far. She finished in the lead pack on the first run and took an early lead on the bike, moving further and further away from a pack of four riders entirely on her own! She built up a lead of about two minutes by the end of the six laps, but the next group were chasing her hard on the second run. Nicola Spirig, last year's World Champion, running side by side with Laure Gervais from France, had Henny in their sights. On the second and final lap of the run, Laure picked up speed, started to run away from Spirig and was closing on Henny. As they entered the finish straight, Laure sprinted past Henny with only a few feet to go before the line. Henny saw the shadow as Laure approached, and managed to push herself to keep with Laure right to the tape. After a few minutes of deliberation amongst the technical officials, Henny was declared the winner!

Another gold medal to add to the tally from yesterday, bringing our total to seven so far!!

Tom Sargent finished in 15th place in the Junior Men's race in Rimini today.

In the men's race, nothing was going to stop Benny Vansteelant from keeping his crown, and he won the race having lead all the way round. Like Henny, he rode the entire bike course at the front on his own and kept the lead on the run.

For the Brits, Gary Gerrard placed best at 24th with Paul Lowe finishing in 31st and Fergus Maclean in 43rd.
