After claiming a mixed team relay silver for Wales in the Commonwealth Games only a few weeks prior, Britain\u2019s Non Stanford<\/a><\/strong> ran her way to gold in Munich, finishing off a successful 2022 season.<\/p>\nThe Welsh star later took to her social channels to announce a retirement from professional racing<\/a><\/strong>, having represented Britain on the international circuit for 12 years.<\/p>\nComing into the race, Stanford had tough competition from the likes of running powerhouse and Leeds WTCS winner Cassandre Beaugrand<\/a><\/strong> (FRA), plus Germany\u2019s home favourite Laura Lindemann<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nAfter an uneventful 1.5km swim in the man-made Olympiasee lake the 40km of fast and flat cycling saw little disruption to the leading pack of Beaugrand, Emma Lombardi (FRA), Lindemann and Stanford, leaving the final 10km run to be the decider.<\/p>\n
Despite being known for her running prowess, Beaugrand couldn\u2019t match the pace of the leading trio, while Stanford put in a massive kick in the final couple of kilometres to completely drop the competition, taking the tape 9secs clear of the rest of the field in 1:52:10.<\/p>\n
In for silver was Lindemann, while Lombardi claimed bronze and Beaugrand finished in fifth after Nina Eim of Germany.<\/p>\n - Meet Non Stanford and Vicky Holland<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n

Who won the men\u2019s Munich European Triathlon Championships?<\/strong><\/h2>\nA fully French podium destroyed the competition at the elite men\u2019s race on Saturday in Munich.<\/p>\n
German pro Jonas Schomburg and Belgium\u2019s Jelle Geens<\/a>,<\/strong> who\u2019s infamous for his run prowess, were favourites going into the event alongside France\u2019s Leo Bergere, who\u2019s had a string of consistent podium placings, recently just missing out on bronze at Leeds WTCS<\/a><\/strong> to Morocco\u2019s Jawad Abdelmoula.<\/p>\nThe race kicked off with Hungarian swim star Mark Devay making waves on the swim, followed by a large breakaway on the bike with French trio Bergere, Dorian Coninx and Pierre Le Corre among them.<\/p>\n
The tough, undulating run saw Geens attempt to bridge the gap to the front pack, while Schomburg started to trail behind. The final few kilometres saw Bergere make some distance on the rest of the field, coming in to take the tape in a time of 1:41:09.<\/p>\n
He was followed by teammate Le Corre 8secs later, with Coninx rounding off the podium in third. Geens made up time to finish in fifth and Schomburg came home seventh.<\/p>\n
Who won the mixed team relay in Munich?<\/strong><\/h2>\nAfter a successful day of racing with a fully French podium in the men\u2019s race the day before, Sunday\u2019s mixed team relays saw some strong contenders battle it out for the European title. The four-leg relay saw athletes compete over a 300m swim, 7.2km bike, and 1.6km run (1.8km for final runner).<\/p>\n
Looking to replicate their previous success was Team France with a line-up of Bergere, Lombardi, Coninx and Beaugrand. Adding to their many WTS wins, France smashed their race, finishing a full 33secs ahead of runners up Germany, with Switzerland crossing the line in third.<\/p>\n
