2018 ITU World Triathlon Gold Coast - Junior Women's Highlights

Cecilia Ramirez Alavez blew away the field down the second half of the 5km run to take a hard-fought ITU Junior World title on Saturday afternoon on the Gold Coast. Alavez was almost 40 seconds off the pace coming out of the water but worked well with the chase group to make inroads on the lead pack across the 20km ride. Still 31 seconds back through T2, the Mexican powered her way through the competition, catching and passing GB’s Erin Wallace and Kate Waugh who had to settle for second and third respectively.

[@pepebaptista1893]

¿No se les enchina la piel? A mi sí. Es que soy mexicano.

[@manecastillo]

Mexicoooooooo yeahhhh

[@joachinh]

Que orgullo cauza esta niña, Mexico tiene con que, desgraciadamente los logros son personales, sin apoyos, pues las federaciones deportivas andan en la grilla.

[@maxxgonzalez1998]

Buen punto no entiendo porque Las autoridades correspondientes no hacen algo al respecto deberian apoyar a estos atletas que ponen el nombre De MEXICO tan alto

[@sananto6896]

Fantastico! Se avento la chavalita. I had no clue Mexico's young athletes were that competitive. The USA media only reports cartel violence in Mexico. Great job by the young lady Cecilia.

[@charlesroberts2166]

584 views & only one comment ?? What's the matter with people ? smh :-(
Well done Wallace & Waugh !! Team GB's Junior & Senior women have done fantastically & are going to be a force to be reckoned with in 2019 ... can't wait !! :-)

[@Santo-ob7kp]

I would like to say that they did not expect that a Mexican woman won this race , so if they don't have nothing good to say they just remained in silence.

[@charlesroberts2166]

@@Santo-ob7kp ... Hey :-) You make a good point. However, to me, it doesn't matter what her Nationality is, she should be congratulated for her achievement (a comment I sadly omitted in my first post).
So, congratulations Cecilia, I look forward to seeing more of you in 2019 :-)

[@Santo-ob7kp]

Hi , Robert , I am an Athletism Lover regardless the Nationality , I think that doing any kind of Sports contests will help the Young Population to Practice Sport , All this Women show courage and will to finish this competition and that means a lot . I hope that in the future the General audience Show more sympathy , to anybody who finish in first Place , regardless of the Nationality.
