2015 stars of the sport recognised at British Triathlon Awards Dinner
Lauren Steadman was named British Triathlon Female Paratriathlete of the Year award for the second consecutive year at a star-studded celebration of triathlon’s biggest achievements in 2015.
ITU Paratriathlon World Champion, Lauren Steadman (PT4) picked up the award after a phenomenal season which witnessed her crowned ITU World and ETU European Champion alongside a win at the Rio Test Event in August. George Peasgood (PT4) picked up the men’s award after a strong season on the international circuit.
Lauren said:
“It’s been a whirlwind year this year. The competition has got twice as hard, if not three times as hard, but these awards are great as everyone gets recognition for all their hard work.
“My highlight of 2015 has to be the ITU World Championships. To defend my title was fantastic and really sets my up for next year and hopefully making it to Rio to take a Paralympic title.”
