Hopes are high for the Spanish hosts, as the circuit for the race is considered a fast one, which is advantageous to the Spanish athletes who excel in swimming and running. ‘The bike track is pretty level’, said Iván Muñoz, the Spanish Head of Delegation. ‘The race will without doubt be decided in the running part. Our athletes will be strong contenders.’
