Cross-Country squad excel in memorable World Championships
Top 10s in Team Relay, Skiathlon, and 50k confirm team’s ability to compete at highest level
The Trondheim Cross-Country World Championships drew to a close at the weekend with Britain delivering a raft of memorable results, including three top-10 finishes across the Championships.
Andrew Musgrave was at the heart of Britain’s charge, sealing sixth place in the 50k Free for a best British Cross-Country World Championships result since 2017, while also claiming seventh in the 20km Skiathlon, and skiing as part of the Relay team which secured ninth spot alongside James Clugnet, Gabriel Gledhill, and Andrew Young.
The 50k also saw Young finish in 31st spot, just 0.2s outside of the top-30, with Clugnet in 42nd and Gledhill in 56th spot, while Clugnet secured a top-20 berth in the Sprint F races, coming in in 19th position.
In his only race of the Championships, Joe Davies took an impressive 24th place in the Skiathlon, less than 15s outside of the top-20 with only two younger athletes in the field finishing in higher positions than the 24-year-old Briton.
The team’s performances in Trondheim represent a continuation of the excellent performances from the Cross-Country squad this season, which have included bright showings at the World Junior Championships, career-best World Cup finishes for Davies, and a fifth career World Cup podium for Musgrave.
