00:26Baulit niya kaya ang panalo sa Europa na nakamit niya kahit dumaan siya sa lubak at mga setback?

00:33Kung ano, ikaikwento ng kapwa triathlete na si Rafi Tima.

00:42Ito marahil ang sinasabing grace under pressure.

00:45Sakto ang liksi pero walang bakas ng panik sa 19-year-old na Pinay Triathlete na si Kira Ellis.

00:51Kahit maraming nauuna sa kanya sa puntong ito ng European Triathlon Junior Cup sa Riga Latvia.

00:56I was very calm. I didn't put too much pressure on myself.

01:01I just enjoy racing again and being back in the racing scene.

01:05Si Kira kasi kagagaling lang sa injury.

01:08Maya-maya pa, walang kamalay-malay si Kira na nangunguno na pala siya.

01:13Let's go! Let's go!

01:15My mind kind of went blank. I didn't even fully realize I'm leading the race.

01:19All I was thinking was just don't get caught.

01:21And just like that, nakaginto si Kira sa women's division matapos ang isang oras, limang minuto at pitong segundo ng swimming, biking at running.
