Jones predicts Euro gold medal for Britton

FIONNUALA BRITTON will win the European cross-country championships this year and, if not, she will certainly win them next year, according to her new coach, Chris Jones.

Jones is one of the most respected Triathlon coaches in Europe if not in the world and, after a spell with Athletics Ireland, he moved to Triathlon Ireland.

When Fionnuala Britton was looking for a coach who would turn her fortunes around after a disappointing season the Welshman fitted the bill and, since forging the relationship, she has gone from strength to strength.
