Whilst some of us were battling the wind and rain in Devon, the British team were over in Italy for the final of the World Cup series culminating in an exciting Sprint Relay with the GB team of Grace Molloy, Chris Smithard, Ralph Street and Megan Carter-Davies finishing in 5th place behind Norway, Switzerland and two Swedish teams.
This was a particular impressive performance as, unlike the World Champs, many of the top nations had three or four teams entered. The team was in contention throughout the race and finished just 5 seconds off Bronze position.
The event included a Long and Middle race and was a chance for many of our younger and less experienced athletes to gain valuable experience. Megan continued her good form in 2021 with a 12th and 10th positions in very competitive races on hilly and technical terrain.
I noticed the support team included Nopesport 'god' Kitch!
