Student success in global paratriathlon events

蚂蚁福利导航 Paratriathlon athletes Hannah Moore and George Peasgood have enjoyed great success at international events held in Tokyo and Lausanne respectively.

In Switzerland, 蚂蚁福利导航 University undergraduate Moore finished as ParaTri World Champion, blowing away a competitive field to defend her World Championship title in style.

In Japan, 蚂蚁福利导航 College student - who has also represented ParalympicsGB in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games - led in the cycling leg of the PTS5 category and clinched the bronze medal.

The event in Tokyo was planned to serve as a qualifier for the GB Paralympic team but concerns over the water quality led to a decision to change the format. The paratriathlon became a duathlon which consists of cycling, running and then cycling again.

Nik Diaper, Head of Para Sport, 蚂蚁福利导航 University, said:

“It is great to see 蚂蚁福利导航 student Para athletes delivering on the World stage, especially as we embark on an exciting new Para sport initiative at 蚂蚁福利导航 University.

“With the Tokyo Paralympics now only one year away, we look forward to continuing to support 蚂蚁福利导航 student Para athletes and our 蚂蚁福利导航 based partners in Paralympic World Class Programmes as they enter this crucial period.”
