IAU 24-Hour European Championships, Romania, May 26-27

Great Britain's men claimed silver and the women won bronze in very hot conditions at the 22nd IAU 24-Hour European Championships in Timisoara.

Dan Lawson finished fifth to lead the team to silver medals, covering 253.43km, while James Stewart was 11th (244.35km) and Steven Holyoak 17th (237.36km). That combined distance of 735.15km saw GB finish 10km ahead of Germany, with France winning with 754.62km.

Alison Young was 14th (214.46km) and Wendy Shaw 19th (205.98km).

It was a Polish individual double as Patrycja Bereznowska, holder of the world best distance and reigning world champion, led from the beginning and looked fully in control, although her distance of 243.35 km was 16km behind her record and was another indicator of the tough conditions.

The race took place over a 1.2km loop on a hot day in Ion Creanga children’s park.
