Team UK top the table

Team UK have been going from success to success and are currently topping the medal table for the World Firefighter Games (A full medals and results table is available on the Echo website). Good on them I say.
Today brought more good news with Liverpool Lib Dem councillor Eddie Clein taking silver in the table tennis. He narrowly missed out on gold after being beaten by the German champ.
We have also have fantastic results in the Merseyside men's 11-a-side football team who beat Venezuela in the final as well as a double medal win in the Iron Dog.
The Toughest Firefighter appears to be living up to its name.
Allerton firefighter Lauren McCormack finished her heat in the Toughest Firefighter Alive today in a commendable 21mins 9 seconds.
Mike O'Mahoney from Croxteth fire station - a gold medal winner in the men's rowing - is currently in fourth place overall with an impressive 10mins 25secs.
Lauren, 24, said: "I am pleased with the time. The lad who ran with me did it in 17 minutes.
"I was a bit disappointed I never made it over the obstacle wall but three quarters into the course I dropped the 80kg dummy and had to drag it to the finish line so I was exhausted.
"The toughest part of it was running up St John's Beacon."
Lauren will next be in action in the 60kg women's boxing at the Echo arena on Monday.
It is also nice to see the firefighters themselves taking time out from the events to get involved in the Liverpool community.
A team of New York fire fighters took time out of the World Fire Fighter Games to visit youngsters in Kensington.
They thanked the children and staff of education charity Prospects 2000, who had sponsored five of the New York team to come to the Games, as part of their fire awareness project.
