Rimini rates highly after golden GB performances

Published:

Rimini resulted in another goldrush for our Great Britain Team, as they returned to home soil having amassed a total of 21 medals on the Italian coastline.

It was the turn of the ETU Middle Distance Triathlon European Championships to create some interesting battles, as friends and rivals went head to head in a bid for a podium spot.  With sunny skies and a calm sea, all was in favour of a successful championship across the 1900m swim, 93km bike and 21.1km run.

Age-groupers produced another plethora of top results, picking up eight gold, four silver and eight bronze medals across the weekend.

Those claiming a championship title included Jamie Davies (M18-19), who repeated his winning form from 2014 to add another gold to his collection. Davies finished in a time of 5:44:50. Richard Munday managed a similar feat, crossing the line in 4:40:08 to again go top of the M35-39 category.

There was also cause for celebration for Melissa Dowell (W50-54), who took a step down from her usual long distance racing, to produce the goods in 5:20:18.

Elite triathlete Vanessa Raw picked up a further bronze medal; clocking 4:51:07 in her debut international race at the distance.
