On Sunday May 26, two thousand athletes from 34 countries are expected to race in Florianopolis, Santa Catarina, at the 15^th Ironman Brazil.

Defending men’s champion Ezequiel Morales of Argentina is back, but last year’s women’s champion Sofie Goos (BEL) is not. American Jessie Donavan is the frontrunner and is on a bit of roll after her debut win at Ironman Lake Placid last summer. She’s added wins at Ironman Mont-Tremblant and South Africa since then. Victoria’s Sara Gross will look to grab her first Ironman win.
