On the way to the Tongyeong World Cup (Korea)

This weekend the seventh stop of the Triathlon World Cups will be held in the Korean town of Tongyeong. Zuriñe Rodríguez and Jose Miguel Pérez will represent Spain in this test.

The triathletes will compete over the Olympic distance, where they will have to complete a circuit consisting of two laps in the ocean to complete 1500 meters of swimming, five cycling laps with a total of 40 kilometers and to finish 10 kilometers of running.

Irish Aileen Morrison will give birth as a favorite in the Elite female category. The Spanish Zuriñe Rodríguez, with number 7, starts with options to achieve a Top10 in this test.

The same case for Jose Miguel Pérez, who will wear the number 4, where the favorite of the test will be the Russian Dmitry Polyansky.
