Lisa Norden (SWE) wins first World Cup medal for Team BG

Lisa Norden becomes first Team BG athlete to win a medal at a World Cup event.
Lisa Norden celebrated the one year anniversary of the Team BG - Elite Athlete Development Project by winning the bronze medal at the first World Cup of the 2008 season. Lisa paid tribute to the BG project by making mention of the fact that there are so many talented young athletes that could benefit from the same support she has had from ITU and BG this past year. The funding has allowed her to travel and train with her personal coach, Darren Smith (AUS) and the fruits of their labour have been justly rewarded. Lisa is an inspiration to her B G team mates who now believe that their dreams can come true with the necessary support and commitment.
