Junior Men’s Review

Adrien Briffod (SUI) and Frantisek Linduska (CZE) impressed and showed the spirit of triathlon as they crossed the line arm in arm to win Heat 1 of the Junior Men’s semi finals.

In a pulsating finish only seven seconds separated 3rd and 7th, with Jordan Hull (GBR) unfortunate to miss out after finishing 8th by a second.

In Heat 2, Gordon Benson and Morgan Davies led home a British one-two ahead of German pair Stefan Konrad and Lasse Luhrs. Etramar Alster (ISR) qualified in 7th for Israel and James Teagle’s 8th place finish was fast enough to qualify for the final.

Miles Burton continued British domination with a win in heat 3 ahead of Australia’s Jacob Birtwhsitle by the narrowest of margins. Kieran Lindars was third for Great Britain.

Istvan Kiraly delighted the home crowd by qualifying in 6th place but local favourite David Pap missed out in 8th.

The final heat was another British and Australian clean sweep as Grant Sheldon (GBR) held off the challenge of Joel Tobin-White and Luke Willian in the top three.
