REBECCA ROMERO, the first Briton to win medals in two different sports in the Olympic Games, has announced her next sporting challenge – a gruelling Ironman triathlon.
The track cycling gold medallist from Beijing, who also rowed to silver in 2004 in Athens, will tackle a 2.4mile swim, 112mile bike ride and a 26.2mile marathon when she competes in Ironman UK, in Bolton, in July.
