BRADLEY Sutton signed off his biathle career in fine style as he won the final leg of the under-19 Youth Great Britain Biathle Series, which was also the final leg of the Biathle World Tour, in Weymouth.
This was the fifth World Tour crown for the 17-year-old from Brighton Hill as he was Youth C champion in 2012, Youth B in 2013 and 2014 and this year won the Youth A title.
The victory at Weymouth also saw the former Brighton Community School pupil finish second in the Great Britain series.
Sutton is now retiring from biathle to concentrate full time on the sport of modern pentathlon.
He is a member of the Great Britain World Class Programme at Hartpury College in Gloucestershire, where he is a pupil.
He is hoping to build on his winning success in the under-19 Youth A category in the National Modern Pentathlon Championships earlier in the year and is looking to gain more international experience in 2016.
Sutton has been training hard during the summer months and has gained his Junior Riding Certificate, which enables him to compete at junior level next year.
He remains on course to one day represent Great Britain at the Olympic Games.
