BRADLEY Sutton successfully earned his place at the Bath training programme after a very tiring day being assessed by the senior Modern Pentathlon coaching staff.

The following day, Sutton finished a respectable third place at the National Schools Biathlon at Crystal Palace, also winning a team gold for Hartbury College.

Next up for the teenager is the European Youth A Cup in Sant Boi, Barcelona on April 16 which is a Tetrathlon and is also being used for the final GB Youth A selection for both the Youth A World Championship competition in Limerick in mid July and the Youth A European Championships in Barcelona at the end of July.
