The women’s race had the participation of 20 athletes from ten countries.

The athlete Juliana Gonzales from Argentina held the lead for a good part of the race, but Guimaraes was behind her, advancing positions and catching up little by little, in a demonstration of her great strength.

For the final buoy turn, Gonzales was still in the lead, followed a few meters behind by Guimaraes. When they entered the section with waves, the Argentine lost her balance when riding a wave and suffered a strong fall, while behind her the Brazilian took advantage of the same wave that threw Gonzales to pass her and take the Gold.

Guimaraes closed with a time of 41:12, Gonzales with 42.28. In third place and winner of the Bronze Medal was Natalia de la Lama also from Argentina with 42:38 and the fourth position and Copper Medal went to Aline Adisaka with a time of 42:55.

Guimaraes indicated: “I had a very bad start and so I had very rough race. In the end I was blessed with a wave to win. This is for Brazil!”
