Held in a venue just outside London, 220 Triathlon<\/em> attended the awards ceremony and dinner which saw leading athletes, coaches, age-groupers and triathlon officials come together to celebrate a fantastic year for the sport as well as to look ahead to next year\u2019s Olympics.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The evening began with a moment of reflection to remember French triathlete and coach Laurent Vidal, who sadly died earlier this week aged just 31 (see story here).\u00a0<\/p>\n
