GB Women’s Marathon Team Shines | Glasgow News

Great Britain’s women’s marathon team just shattered history, claiming gold at the European Championships — their first-ever medal in the event. Abbie Donnelly took bronze, Charlotte Wilson finished fifth, and Hayley Evans-Graham came in 34th, but together they outpaced Italy and Spain for the team title. The race was blisteringly fast, with Finland’s Alisa Vainio smashing the championship record. Wilson, 33, stayed in the main pack but couldn’t match the leaders’ final surge — yet she celebrated Donnelly’s podium as a team triumph. The squad even packed their podium gear the night before, a surreal moment that underscored their unity. Despite a tough, hilly course, Wilson felt prepared thanks to her training. This win is especially sweet for her after narrowly missing Olympic selection in Tokyo; competing on home soil fuels her fire and signals bigger things ahead. Their grit and dedication make this victory truly inspiring. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
