She's a winner: With another athlete at close quarters, Pippa Middleton crosses the finishing lineShe won a sports scholarship to Marlborough College and yesterday Pippa Middleton showed she had lost none of her athletic prowess.
Despite soaring temperatures, Kate’s younger sister earned a well-deserved medal after completing a 5km race in the GE Blenheim Triathlon, which takes place every year at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire.
Pippa was joined by two male friends and opted to do the running part of the competition while the boys completed tough swimming and cycling sections.

According to friends she had been training daily to get in shape for the event and seeing a physiotherapist to make sure she was in tip-top condition.
The 28-year-old has also been attending Pilates sessions and playing tennis.
