Bahrain Endurance feature in the medals

Manama : Bahrain Endurance Elite runner Jodie Swallow ran away with a win at the Ironman 70.3 Jönköping in Sweden, proving she not only can swim and ride hard, but also has the run legs to secure the title.

The Briton set up her lead with a trademark swim after exiting the water eighth overall, overtaking many of the pro men despite starting a minute back.

However, Kimberley Morrison managed to pull her back on the bike leg with the two women back into transition seconds apart. On the run Swallow, extended her winning lead to more than five minutes as Asa Lundstrom overtook Morrison for second place.
