The summer of success continued for the GB juniors today, as Megan Keith (Gold) and Grace Molloy (Silver), repeated their medal winning performances from JWOC in the JEC Sprint, held in the historic town of Roums, France.

Megan's success was by the narrowest of margins, as she held off the local girl to win by just one second. Speaking afterwards, she said:
"It certainly wasn't the best run I've had, as I lost time in the early part of the course, with all the artificial barriers confusing me in the parkland area, and meaning that I was about 20 seconds down at the spectator run through. However, I managed to get on top on things in the second half and ran really strongly through the old town to finish well."

Grace also commented on her run, saying: "I nearly messed up after the run through, as I hadn't spotted the control at the end of the tapes, and this also came at the map flip as well, but fortunately I realised, as I headed to 12, that I hadn't punched 11, so had to turn back to rectify the mistake. Apart from that, it was a pretty solid run".

This tricky aspect of the course caught out a number of runners, including the top Swiss female runner who would have taken Gold, and Alastair Thomas, who was on for a top 10 performance before being dsq'd for also mispunching.
