GB Age-Group Aquabike roundup from Transilvania

We are finally there… the last Great Britain Age-Group team medal roundup from the ETU Multisport European Championships Triathlon Festival from Târgu Mures, Transilvania. From the feedback I’ve had from athletes who competed across a range of the disciplines across the 10 days of competition,, the Târgu Mures organising committee in Romania did a great organisational job on what is a long and logistically complex organisation.

First added at ITU World Championship level in 2017 (Penticton), this was the second (Age-Group only) ETU Aquabike European Championships competition following the debut in Ibiza last year. The Aquabike event is held alongside the Middle Distance Triathlon on the final day (Sunday) of competition.

This format has been particularly popular with British athletes (and seemingly, few others in Europe…), with 88 of the 121 starters (73%) in GB colours, 12 from the home nation of Romania with Germany (six) the only other nation with more than three starters.

The result was 32 medals of which 13 were Gold.

Amy Pritchard continued her impressive record this year. The fourth fastest athlete overall – including all of the men – only one British male, Callum Lelliott, was quicker. Amy has now won Aquabike Age-Group Gold at all thee World Champs (Penticton 2017 / Fyn 2018 / Pontevedra 2019) and both of the European Championship events held.

The second quickest female overall was Melissa Dowell (50-54), who also retains her AG Gold from Ibiza.

In the 70-74 category, after Silver in the Aquathlon, Mike Smallwood‘s Aquabike Gold extends his record of the most ITU / ETU World & European Championships Age-Group medals by a British athlete to 31, of which 15 are Gold.
