Taylor Brown and Coldwell complete impressive GB one-two in Tiszaujvaros

Published:

Georgia Taylor Brown and Sophie Coldwell completed an impressive one-two finish at the Tiszaujvaros ETU Triathlon Junior European Cup in Hungary and Grant Sheldon just missed out on gold in a sprint finish. Natalie Milne, Lucy Hall and Katie Hewison all finished in the top ten in the senior ITU World Cup event.

Both the junior and senior events saw semi final rounds yesterday followed by finals today (Sunday 11 August). The semi final events were highly competitive and the hot conditions made recovery tactics important for athletes racing in the finals today.

Taylor Brown and Coldwell worked well together to set up a British one-two, indicating that both are in good form with a month to go until the PruHealth World Triathlon Grand Final in London. Taylor Brown is the ETU European junior champion and will target a strong home performance in Hyde Park.

Grant Sheldon continued his excellent summer form with silver in the junior men’s event. He missed out on gold by just one second from Adrien Briffod of Switzerland.

The Tiszaujvaros ITU Triathlon World Cup featured large starting fields and very competitive semi finals. Natalie Milne (6th), Lucy Hall (7th) and Katie Hewison (9th) all finished in the top ten in the women’s race, which was won by Katie Hursey (USA). Aaron Harris finished 13th in the men’s race.
