Originally scheduled to take place in Almere, the World Triathlon Duathlon Championships was moved to Aviles, Spain and held this past weekend. That represented a return to the venue of the 2016 championships.

Along with Elite, Under-23, Junior and Para racing, in this feature we profile the British Age-Group medals from Saturday’s Sprint Distance racing.

The 78 medals awarded went to 12 different nations, with Great Britain (24) just topping the hosts Spain (22) to claim the top spot in terms of medal volumes.

Fastest Age-Group athletes overall

Great Britain’s Sarah Grover (25-29) was the fastest female overall in the AG Sprint race. She needed to be too as that was still only enough to win her category by just seven seconds. In doing so, she retained the title she won two years ago in Pontevedra.

Spanish athletes filled all three top spots overall in the men’s race – all three athletes racing in the 25-29 category.

Great Britain’s Adam Dart was only 50 seconds slower – but the racing was so close, that was ‘only’ 15th place overall for the fastest GB athlete in the AG Sprint race. Adam finished fourth in the M20-24 division.
