Zuriñe Rodríguez looks for the first places in the European triathlon in Pontevedra
After her outstanding performance in the World Series, where last week she was 13th in Kitzbühel (Austria), Zuriñe Rodríguez faces the European triathlon today in Pontevedra with the aim of confirming her good form. The Biscayan shares a team with Ainhoa Murúa from Gipuzkoa -fourth last year- and Marina Damlaimcurt.
The favorites for the title are the French Emmie Charayron and Carole Peon, the Russian Irina Abysova, the Swiss Melanie Annaheim and the Danish Helle Frederiksen.
In the men's category, Javier Gómez Noya, current World champion, will seek his third European champion title in the city where he lives and trains, although the mission will not be easy due to the presence of the British brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee.
La semana pasada, el triatleta gallego renunció a participar en la prueba del Campeonato del Mundo de Kitzbühel para llegar más fresco a Pontevedra, una cita que Gómez Noya tiene marcada en su calendar since the season began.
He already knows what it means to win at home, having won the European Cup events in 2008 and 2010. However, he knows better than anyone that tomorrow's level will be much higher than that of those events.
