Sophie Coldwell – getting better every year

A chat with Sophie Coldwell

Early August, and 2018 has already been a fantastic season for Great Britain Elite athlete, Sophie Coldwell.

After finishing sixth at the Commonwealth Games in April (just seconds away from making that Duffy / Learmonth breakaway), Sophie has gone on to take her first ITU World Cup victory in Tiszaujvaros, Hungary, and then quickly followed that up with her first Senior international title, running away from the field at the ETU Sprint Triathlon European Championships in Tartu, Estonia.

After taking second 12 months ago over the Standard distance, her continued progression is impressive to follow. At just 23 years of age, her best years should still be ahead of her too.

Last night (Thursday), Sophie was in central London providing her insight and guidance to athletes at a Descente London Duathlon Masterclass event, held at the impressive Descent store in Carnaby Street.

I took the opportunity to speaK to Sophie about her season to date, what she has planned for the rest of the year and her excitement at seeing if her Loughborough team can make the podium tomorrow (Saturday) at the Accenture British Triathlon Mixed Relay Cup. If you can’t get to watch that in person, follow it live online from 6:05pm. Check out the full interview in the video at the top of this page.

Rotterdam U23 World’s: Gold for Gorman, Bronze to Coldwell

Great Britain’s Sophie Coldwell earns first World Championship medal in Rotterdam

In downpour conditions in Rotterdam on Saturday, Great Britain’s Sophie Coldwell continued her progression as an athlete to add Under-23 World Championship Bronze to the European Senior Championship Silver she won earlier this the season in Kitzbuhel.

The British trio of Coldwell plus Georgia Taylor-Brown and Sian Rainsley (the current European U23 Gold and Bronze medallists), were all part of the leading group at T2 after dealing with the challenging conditions in The Netherlands.

The USA’s Tamara Gordon – who won the World Junior Championship in London four years ago ahead of Taylor-Brown – ran away from the group to take Gold by a clear margin, while Melanie Santos (POR) pulled clear of Coldwell in the later stages to take the Silver. Despite running faster than Coldwell over the 10km, a slow T2 (serving a penalty for a swim cap infringement), for Taylor-Brown cost her a chance of the podium, and she finished fourth with Rainsley also securing a top-10 finish in ninth.

Rotterdam, you were wet, very cold but a great place to race! So pleased to pick up my first individual world medal! Next up @SuperLeagueTri pic.twitter.com/Ob58qdVIH0
