Medals, Medals everywhere!
The 2025 championship season has been a record one for FVO athletes, who have claimed more than 200 medals across the series, from 64 different competitors.
Medals have been won in every one of the 15 (two Night, three Sprint, three Middle, three Long and four Relay) races this year, from the British Night Championship which we hosted at Touch in February to the British Sprint Championship in East Anglia on Sunday.
Four athletes - James Hammond (M20), Will Hensman (M45), Lucas Baikie (M14) and Sophie Edward (W12) - have seven gold medals each from individual and relay runs. The most productive day was at the Scottish Relays, with 30 medals claimed, while the best Individual day was the Scottish Champs, where 25 athletes went home with an A class medal.

Some other factiods -
- Alison Cunningham (W60) and Will Hensman (M45) hold both Scottish and British Night titles
- There was a smaller-than-normal FVO entry for the British Sprint, and nobody holds all three titles in their age group, but Sophie Edward (W12), James Hammond (M20) and Alison Cunningham (W60) have the JK and Scottish titles in their locker.
- Lucas Baikie (M14) and Sophie Edward (W12) are JK/Scottish champions in the Middle discipline; James Hammond has the Scottish and British titles in his possession (and mispunched in the lead in the JK) and Andy Llewellyn holds the JK and British M35 crowns.
- James Hammond (M20) and Will Hensman (M45) own the Long titles in all three big races.
- Sophie Edward took nine medals from 10 championship runs (seven gold, one silver, one bronze), the only exception being the British Relay where the team mispunched before she had a chance to run.
- Between them, James Edward and Lucas Baikie hold all the major M14 titles, except for the JK Sprint, where they were 4th and 5th, and the British Middle, where Lucas mispunched. They were also in the teams that won the Scottish and British Relay in their age class.
