“It's great to get these two titles. I'm very happy and, after so many mishaps I've had since the beginning of the season until now and all the work I've been developing, I feel I really deserve this title, as it's a reward for all my effort. It was a demanding course, the athletes were also strong and I had to be patient and calm to play cold. In the final part I knew I had to be well positioned to be able to sprint to victory», said Daniela Campos.
