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.

Top Brits in Spain

Hannah Flaherty lead the way for the Brits, winning the 30-34 division but also being the fastest female overall in the Sprint distance event. Rebecca Goodwin (third) and Georgina Huddleston (fifth) also made the top five fastest overall.

For the men, the two fastest Brits overall were Cameron Keast (fifth) and Reece Ashfield (sixth), with the Spain taking the top two positions.
