Mud and glory at world mountain bike marathon

Austria's Mona Mitterwallner and Brazil's Henrique Avancini won the mountain bike cross country marathon world titles in Scotland on Sunday.

Mass starts saw riders set off for a 96.5km route that featured 3,200m of elevation, crossing though five Scottish forests.

The 34-year-old Brazilian Avancini raised his clenched fists crossing the line in a time of 4hr 14min 42sec to reclaim a title he won five years earlier.

A women's field of 62 ended up with Mitterwallner crossing the line in a time of 5:07:50.
