Vicky Holland "really pleased" for Jodie Stimpson

Triathlon bronze medalist Vicky Holland says that she is "really pleased" for England teammate and gold medalist Jodie Stimpson.

Triathlon bronze medalist Vicky Holland has said that she is "really pleased" that England teammate Jodie Stimpson won gold at the Commonwealth Games.

The English duo were split by Canada's Kirsten Sweetland for the first medals of the Glasgow games.

The 27-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I knew Jodie would be the biggest threat in the field and I am really pleased she won, not just because she is English but because she really deserves it.

"My legs were failing me towards the end. It was so hard to hold and win this medal I've worked so long for."

Holland finished 15 seconds behind the winner.
