The British female athlete\u2019s consistent run of medals continued at the ETU Triathlon European Under-23 Championships in Burgas, Bulgaria with Sophie Coldwell winning a\u00a0silver medal in the individual race over the sprint distance
\u00a0
\u00a0Originally meant to be held over the Olympic distance,Coldwell, as a strong swimmer,\u00a0<\/strong>would have hoped the swim would have provided more opportunity of a breakaway in perhaps her strongest discipline. Despite leading out of the revised 750m non-wetsuit swim, however the flat nature of the course saw athletes regroup and a large pack all descend upon T2 in close proximity with the medals to be decided on the 5km run course.\u00a0Zoe Thomaswas also in that lead group at the start of the run.
A very close finish saw the first four athlete cross the line within six seconds,\u00a0Coldwell\u00a0surprising herself on the run to take the silver medal just one second in arrears to Italy\u2019s\u00a0Angelica Olmo.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t believe little old me got my first championship medal from a run race!\u201d she said after the event.

Coldwell also helped the mixed British team, of Zoe Thomas,\u00a0Christopher Perham\u00a0and\u00a0Morgan Davies to a silver. In a close battle throughout, Italy took top spot on the podium in the final stages with the British team having to serve a 10 second penalty, Davies bringing the team home for the Silver with Spain completing the podium for the Bronze medals.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019sDavid Castro Fajardo\u00a0took the Gold in the Men\u2019s race, with\u00a0Grant Sheldon(fifth), the leading British athlete. As with the Women\u2019s event, despite various attacks and breaks on the bike it was all down to the final 5km run as a huge group reached the second transition separated by very few seconds.<\/p>\n
