Svanebo secures his fourth European Championship title

By David Peddie | 03 Mar, 2012

Sweden’s Andreas Svanebo has won the Winter Triathlon European Championship title in Valsesia.

It is Svanebo’s fourth European Championship, and all the more sweeter given he has missed a lot of races in the Winter Triathlon series due to injury.

Svanebo (pictured above winning in Lygna in 2010)  finished in a time of 1:20:47 ahead of Italy’s Daniel Antonioli and Nicolas Lebrun of France.

There was a surprise winner in the Elite Women’s race as Helena Erbenova of the Czech Republic claimed the European Championship title in her maiden race.

Erbenova finished in 1:37:55 ahead of defending Champion Borghild Løvset (NOR) and Andrea Huser (SUI).

Russian Pavel Yakimov was victorious in the U23 Men’s race and Romana Slavinec of Austria is the new U23 Women Winter Triathlon European Champion.

There was double Russian success in the Junior races as Pavel Eliseev and Tatiana Loginova secured the Junior Winter Triathlon European Championship titles.

Tomorrow the action continues with the Age Groupers and Mixed Relay race.
