Littlehampton has a European champion – an 83-year-old one, to be precise.

Daphne Belt has become champion in her age group at the the European Championship sprint triathlon in Munich.

Competing on the GBR age group team in the 80-84 category, she was the oldest woman in the race, in which athletes from all over Europe competed. The race consisted of a lake swim of 750 metres, a 12.5 miles bike race and a 5km hilly run.
