00:00Can you explain to, I guess, outsiders, how would a duathlon be fair, particularly for
00:06athletes who are stronger on the swim leg compared to the other legs?
00:10It's the same condition for everyone and...
00:15Wouldn't there be some athletes who are stronger on the swim leg than other legs and then they're
00:19effectively put at a disadvantage?
00:21Yes, but this is an adaptation.
00:23I mean, this is in the last five years especially.
00:28Unfortunately, we have to change to duathlon before to cancel the event.
00:35Because if we cancel the event, there is no medals, there is no prize money in our organizations.
00:44But we can finish and we can do a competition because our athletes really want to compete
00:53and they really want to win, of course.
00:56And of course, it's unfair.
00:58I don't think it's unfair.
01:00It's just another situation of the competition.
01:05For example, some of them in cycling, they are very good going up.
01:11It's something in the same level, in my opinion.
