Tomorrow begins the Ironman 70.3 season in Pucón

One more year Chile will be the epicenter of the triathlon with the first round of the year IRONMAN, the Ironman 70.3 Pucón, where all eyes are focused on Bárbara Riveros, who will seek his fifth consecutive victory in the event although triathletes like Linsey Corbin y Alicia Kaye they will not make it easy

One of the regulars and winner of the last two editions, Lionel Sanders, will not be this year at the starting line, so he leaves the test open for other triathletes such as Andrew Potts o Taylor Reed among others.

Barbara, is currently the only triathlete who is "virtually" classified for the Olympics and for Kona, as she got the slot with her first participation in the Ironman distance in Australia last year. As for the Olympic Games, it holds the 34th place in the Olympic Ranking, so if it continues with last year's performance, it may be in Tokyo 2020. If he succeeds, it will be his fourth games since he has participated in Rio (5), London (16), Beiging (25)

The test will start the 13 of January at the 7: 45 local time (3: 45 Spanish time)
