European Sprint Distance Age-Group Championships 2017

“I thought that was last week?”. Well, if you are having difficulty keeping up with the last month of seemingly never-ending European Championship events, don’t worry, we’re only just about managing ourselves – and this is what we ‘do’. More on this coming soon…

Anyway, for 2017 the ETU Age-Group Championships for Standard and Sprint Distance have been separated, so last week it was Kitzbuhel (Standard) and this week the Sprint distance athletes got to race in Dusseldorf, Germany. Of course, some did both – and some made the podium in both too…

Overall, as always another monster haul – this time of 30 in total (including 12 Golds), though remarkably that is still significantly less than the 41 Sprint distance medals collected last year in Lisbon. Nonetheless, it was still four medals more than the host nation, Germany. Never a bad thing!

James Wilson (Gold, 35-39) was the fastest British male overall, beaten only by one other AG athlete. He was just seven seconds ahead of Craig Dale (Gold, 30-34). Yet another Gold for the current British Triathlon Age-Group Athlete of the Year, Michael Smallwood (70-74). Some revenge too, as last week he took Silver over the Standard distance, but today returned the favour and finally beat his Austrian rival, Klaus Kubler. He now has TWENTY TWO ITU/ETU podium finishes on his C.V. Amazing consistency from a remarkable athlete.

The fastest British female overall was Michelle Willcocks (Gold, 30-34), who like James was the second fastest AG athlete across all categories. Our ERDINGER Athlete of the Month for April, Jacqui Phillips, continued her great year with a second European title in the 50-54 category. It was hard-earned too, battling all day with fellow Brit, Maria Powell, before finally pulling away on the run. Maria took the Silver to add to her collection.
