A Salinas, in Ecuador, si è disputato il 27 febbraio un triathlon olimpico valido come tappa ITU Panamerican Cup e soprattutto valido per l’assegnazione dei titoli sudamericani di specialità.
Le gare sono state vinte dal giovane talento spagnolo Mario Mola e dalla giapponese Yuka Sato, ma i titoli sono stati vinti da una coppia verdeoro: il Brasile ha trionfato con Diogo Sclebin tra gli uomini, secondo assoluto, (terzo l’israeliano Alterman) e da Pamela Oliveira, terza alle spalle anche dell’altra giapponese Nakashima.
Sui podi sudamericani sono saliti anche i brasiliani Matheus e Carvalho, l’ecuadorena Bravo e la brasiliana Fernandes.
Tra gli Junior, oro per un altro verdeoro, Edivanio Da Silva Monteiro, e per la beniamina locale Maria Cristina Farez Pucha.
