2018 Ironman 70.3 Florianópolis

Brazil’s own Igor Amorelli and Pamella Oliveira claimed the victories at Sunday’s Ironman 70.3 Florianópolis.

Amorelli used his powerful cycling abilities to build a nearly five-minute lead to start the run. Despite not having the fastest half-marathon of the day, Amorelli’s lead was more than enough to put him across the finish line in first place at 3:46:46. The United States’ Tim O’Donnell finished second at 3:50:22, with Brazil’s Iuri Vinuto using a blistering run to round out the podium in 3:51:49.

Though Oliveira led from wire to wire, it wasn’t a dominating victory. Her 24:24 swim, 2:28:54 bike, and 1:25:54 half-marathon put her across the finish line at 4:23:03, just 11 seconds ahead of Brazil’s Bruna Mahn at 4:24:14. It was an all-Brazilian podium, with Beatriz Neres claiming third in 4:23:59.
