Norway’s Borghild Løvset wins her second European Championships title in Tartu

By David Peddie | 27 Jan, 2013

 

Borghild Løvset held off the challenge of defending champion Helena Erbenova to secure her second European Winter Triathlon Championship title in Tartu.

The Norwegian finished in 1:40:34 to pip Erbenova to the gold medal and avenge last year’s surprise loss to the Czech athlete in Valsesia.

On a difficult course, Løvset and Erbenova duelled constantly at the front of the pack before the Norwegian gained control on the third bike lap and from there she never looked like surrendering her lead.

There was double joy for Norway as former U23 European Champion Elisabeth Sveum claimed the third podium position.

In the Women’s U23 race, Tatiana Bregeda claimed another title for Russia with a convincing victory.

She finished ahead of compatriot Margarita Ovsyannikova with Italy’s Illaria Titone completing the podium.
