Fell leads British challenge at London World Championships posted by Steve Ballinger on03-07-2009
Beijing 2008 Olympic silver medallist Heather Fell leads the British challenge at the Modern Pentathlon World Championships, which take place in London next month.
Fell is a member of the six-strong Great Britain team for the championships that was announced today (3 July) at Crystal Palace, which hosts the World Championships from 13-17 August. Two further men will be added to the team at a later date.
Last weekend Fell won the individual silver medal at the European Championships as well as the team gold with Katy Livingston and Mhairi Spence, who also feature in the team for Crystal Palace.
The women's team also includes 18-year-old Freyja Prentice, who finished 10th on her World Cup debut in Mexico City in March. She is currently with the British team preparing to compete at the World Junior Championships, which get underway in Chinese Taipei on Monday (6 July).
Beijing 2008 Olympians Sam Weale and Nick Woodbridge lead the men's challenge. Two further athletes will be added to the men's team nearer to the championships.
Jan Bartu, Pentathlon GB performance director, said: "The World Championships are the pinnacle of the year, particularly for us as we will be at home.
"We exceeded our expectations at the European Championships. There will definitely be teams that are stronger than us, but that will inspire us.
"Being at home means a medal is expected of us. We are definitely contenders in both genders and the ladies" team will go to Crystal Palace as European Champions."
The full British team for the 2009 World Championships is:
Heather Fell
Mhairi Spence
Freyja Prentice
Katy Livingston
Sam Weale
Nick Woodbridge

Lost Property - National Tetrathlon posted by on27-04-2009
Whilst normally all lost property remains with the venue that the event took place at, there were some sports-specific items of value left at Crystal Palace after the National Tetrathlon this last weekend.
Consequently we have stepped outside of the usual policy, for this event only, and lost property has been returned to Head Office.
Please contact us on 01225 386808 or by email at admin@pentathlongb.org if you are missing any important items. We would suggest that athletes check thier kit as they are items which they may not miss until their next training session.
