GB win first medal at bacu

FIRST BRITISH MEDAL AT BACU 

Gordon Benson claimed Great Britain's first European Games gold medal with victory in the men's triathlon in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The 21-year-old's success also guaranteed Britain a berth in the event at the Rio 2016 Olympics.
The Brownlee brothers did not compete, with their focus on this year's World Series competition and the Rio Olympic test event.
Benson completed the event in one hour 48 minutes 31 seconds.

He was ahead of Portugal's Joao Silva (+11 seconds) and Rostyslav Pevtsov (+33secs) of Azerbaijan.
Great Britain have disappointed at the early stages.

MY OPINION
 The triathlon was somewhere where they were supposed to medal. I thought that GB would pick up a lot more early medals. I think that they might have taken too many rather than focusing on the few
