Steadman takes gold at ITU World Paratriathlon Event in Strathclyde
World Champion, Lauren Steadman, led a British one-two-three in the PT4 event at the ITU World Paratriathlon Event in sun-drenched Strathclyde Park.
She and Lizzie Tench won gold medals for Great Britain at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games venue.
Steadman has already met the qualification criteria for the Rio Paralympic Games and put on a dominant performance in the PT4 event to finish ahead of teammates Kerry Large and Ruth Wilson, who were racing in only their second ever international events having come through British Triathlon’s talent ID system.
In the same classification, Dave Hill finished third in the very competitive men’s event.
Lizzie Tench built on her PT1 European title won last weekend in Lisbon and Phil Hogg won another British bronze in the PT1 class.
Iain Dawson won silver in the PT5 class for visually impaired athletes, taking Britain’s total to two gold, two silver and three bronze medals.
British Triathlon is the Governing Body for the sport in Great Britain. It is responsible for raising the profile and delivering elite performance for Triathlon, Paratriathlon, Duathlon and Aquathlon in Great Britain.
