– I´m very happy and pleased to get a victory in this noble race. I knew that some of my opponents are stronger so I had to be smarter. That was my strategy and I succeeded, Marcus from Sweden says.

– I had a good start and needed to be smart so I didn´t get any acid when working with the shackle. And at the last leg I saw the Brazilians behind me and that my Swedish opponent beside me, so I just gave everything I had. I´m almost surprised how well it went, a happy Marcus ends.

Vinicius Moraes from Brazil took the second place and Lars Ekman from Sweden came third.
