Bugbrooke triathlete takes title

Hollie Avil
Avil was world junior champion in 2007

Bugbrooke's Hollie Avil has been crowned world under-23 triathlon champion on Australia's Gold Coast.

The 19-year-old finished one second ahead of team-mate Jodie Stimpson with Canada's Paula Findlay taking bronze. Britain's Vicky Holland was fourth.

Avil said: "With one junior world title, and now an under-23 world title, I guess the senior one comes next, but that might take a few years.

"With three of us in the top four it just proves how much talent there is."
