World Championships weekend Posted on: Sunday 22nd July 2001 Bookmark This | Print This Page | Send To A Friend As the ITU World Championships unfold in Edmonton this weekend you can try to keep track of the various events through the race website. The promised webcast is now up and the event photo gallery is good. The men's race was won by Peter Roberson (AUS) with Chris Hill (AUS) second and Craig Watson (NZL) third. Best placed GB athlete was Andrew Johns in fifth with Tim Don 13th, Marc Jenkins 16th, Richard Allen 28th, Spencer Smith 36th and Richard Stannard 37th. Full results are on the event website and there's a report on both this and the women's race on the BTA website. In the elite female race the honours went to Siri Lindley (USA) who also won Wednesday's Aquathlon and is only in the championships as a wild card entry. Michellie Jones (AUS) and Joanna Zeiger (USA) filled out the podium (Ed: the ITU site keeps referring to Zeiger as German...). Nicole Hackett, last year's Champion, crashed badly on the bike in the wet and slippery conditions, no update yet on her condition, while GB hopes seem to have faded to nought with Leanda Cave being our best placed athlete in 17th. Michelle Dillon was 22nd, Andrea Whitcombe 23rd, Heather Williams 33rd and Steph Forrester was a DNF after completing both swim and bike. Annie Emmerson, the sixth GB athlete, pulled out on the second lap of the run and isn't shown in the results. Full results are up on the event website. The BTA website reports on the junior elite races that Jodie Swallow took bronze, Catherine Hare was fifth while Henrietta Freeman finished 15th as she struggled to recover from a disappointing swim. Former champion Annaliese Heard had to settle for 18th after crashing her bike twice. Nicola Spirig (SUI) was the overall winner. Best GB performance in the Junior men was Daniel Hayes who placed seventh. Fraser Cartmell was 39th and Eliot Challifour 44th. Overall winner was Sebastian Dehmer of Germany. Full results for the men and for the women are on the main website. Best performances of Saturday, in terms of medals, came from the age groupers and we have extracted a table of all the GB athletes. The main results page on the Edmonton site allows you to search for athletes in age group bands and by name or race number. Alternatively you can download the whole thing here. The Clydesdales are here and the Physically Challenged here. Wednesday's Aquathlon results are up (some GB age groupers in the open event): go to the main page, select the Race Info tab at the top of the page and then the Aquathlon results are there for the elite, media and age groupers. |
