At World Triathlon Para Series Montreal, a team of four Brits came away with two silver medals. Lauren Steadman secured a second-place finish in just her second race back, with Oscar Kelly also securing a silver medal in the PTVI category.
Finley Jakes finished in ninth place in the PTS4 category with Michael Salisbury coming eighth in the PTS5 category. Read how all the action in Montreal unfolded here.
At Europe Triathlon Junior Cup Tiszaujvaros, an eighth-place finish in semi-final one was enough for Lawrence Martindale to secure his place in the final, where he finished 15th. In semi-final two, Will Bloom’s 14th place finish was not enough for him to make the final.
In the junior female women race, both Isabella Hayes and Emily Crookes made the final after coming second and sixth in their semi-final. In the final, Hayes just missed out on a podium spot coming fourth, while Crookes crossed the line in 17th.
