European Tri Champs, Sprint Distance: GB Age-Group medals

Chief Correspondent

Valencia in Spain welcomed close to 1200 athletes across Elite, Para and Age-Group categories this past weekend for the now rebranded Europe Triathlon Championships.

We’ve covered the Elite racing, where Sian Rainsley was the top British athlete with a bronze medal. Here we turn our attention to the Age-Group athletes, initially looking at the Sprint distance.

The 489 athletes racing in the Sprint represented 17 different nations, with the British in typical style being the largest of those (203), ahead of the home nation of Spain (128). Those 203 athletes secured a total of 41 medals of the 80 awarded, including 14 of the 27 gold medals.
