Triathlon's Consistent King: Martin Schulz Claims Another European Championship
Triathlon Victory: Schulz Claims European Championship Title Again - TriathlonResults: Para-Athlete Schulz Wins European Title Once More
Martin Schulz, the germ of Germany's para-triathlon scene, has done it again. The seasoned athlete, who's well into his thirties, clinched the European Championship title in Besançon, France. The triathlon consisted of a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike ride, and a 5-kilometer run—racetracks that Schulz has made his own. This latest win marks Schulz's twelfth European Championship overall, a remarkable feat despite recent calf woes.
A Minute to Spare
With a winning time of 1:02:52, nearly a minute ahead of Portugal's Filipe Marques (1:03:43), Schulz celebrated his victory with a hearty grin. Ireland's Tom Williamson (1:05:31) finished third. "I'm fucking ecstatic and thrilled!" Schulz exclaimed, acknowledging his rich experience as a deciding factor in his latest triumph.

Despite Martin Schulz's recent calf injuries, he continues to excel in his sport, recently winning his twelfth European Championship title in the triathlon. The Commission has also adopted a proposal for a Council Regulation on the establishment of a European Community Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products, which could potentially aid in the recovery and performance of athletes like Schulz in the future.
