"Mundialito" de Fast Triathlon Female

The countries that participated in the competition were Canada, Spain, Argentina, Russia, Brazil and Italy, teams of three athletes with emphasis on Italy and Russia, which had Olympic athletes (Beijing 2008) among its members.

The competition, which consisted of three batteries of 250m swim (1 lap), 3.6 km of cycling (6 laps) and 1200m of running (2 laps), proceeded smoothly in a climate softened by rain for days. The first heat was won by Pamela de Oliveira of Brazil, bringing the Russian team with great potential coming in 2nd, 3rd and 4th placings.

In the second heat the experience of Italian athlete participating in Beijing, Daniela Chemet, raised expectations in the public, winning Pamela de Oliveira and surprising the Russian team, which had previously seemed to be stronger.

By the third and last heat, Pamela demonstrated again that it is in pretty good shape to confront a group of six athletes together and taking the initiative from the start of the race. With this victory, Brazil has voiced its superiority in search of the title, Italy has maintained a level similar in the three batteries, while Russia was collapsing every start.

On the side of the Argentine team, Soledad Omar fought in three batteries, being one of the most active in the cycling squad aiming to reach the peak, with a quick race placing her among the first 8 on each battery. Pamela Geijo felt the long path on loose sand between the water and the transition area, key to this kind of competition, and despite having had a good swim, could not ride in the main group. On the side of the beginner in Fast Triathlon Romina Biagioli, has a role worthy, considering all the anxiety and anticipation by not knowing the competition, unable to swim at their best level, but staying in control and ending each battery with an effort to score points for the country.

In this way, Argentina finished ranked in 5th place in teams, behind Brazil, Italy, Russia and Canada, with Spain last.
