Great Britain top the table at the European Cross Country Championships

Great Britain topped the medal table at this year's European Cross Country Championships for an amazing 13th consecutive year as every member of the team won a medal in Hyeres in France.

Top performer was Jonathan Davies who won individual gold in the Men's under-23 race - helping the Men's U23 squad to team silver.

"I'm over the moon. I came thinking I had a chance of winning but you never quite believe it," Davies, 21, said.

Kate Avery won silver for a second successive year in the senior women's race won by Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan.

Britain's senior women successfully defended their team title, with defending champion Gemma Steel (8th) and Steph Twell (11th) the other best-placed Britons.
