World Champion: JAGS celebrates Martha’s incredible U17 Biathle Victory

Huge congratulations to Martha (Y11), who was recently crowned Under-17 Biathle World Champion while representing Team GB in South Africa.

Biathle is a run, followed by a swim, and then a further run, with transitions also timed. In the individual event, Martha finished the first run in 9th place, but a phenomenal swim meant she took the lead going into the second run. Martha ran strongly and held on to win the race, earning the title of Under-17 Biathle World Champion!

Martha also competed in the relay event (one male, one female) and achieved a very respectable 5th place. In addition, Martha’s Team GB teammates secured a team silver medal to accompany her individual gold.

Michael Golding, Director of Sport, added: “We cannot express how proud we are of Martha and these incredible achievements. Well done!”
