BRADLEY Sutton is in action today in the Men's Relay of the Modern Pentathlon World Championships in Cairo.
He will compete with fellow 19-year-old Myles Pillage and the pair have already done well at Junior European Championships and Senior European Championships this season.
The event will provide the two British youngsters with more valuable competition experience on the biggest stage as they compete against some of the biggest names in the sport in unfamiliar conditions.
August in Cairo will provide an big challenge with temperatures set to hit the 40 degree mark and difficult competition conditions including running on sand.
Looking ahead to the event Sutton said: "It will be a great experience and I am looking forward it. The conditions will be tough and the competition will be stiff as a lot of them were at the Rio Olympics."
