Amelie Caze (Fra) - in the photo - wins the women World championships thanks to a perfect start: 181 in the shooting, 1000 in the fencing and 2’12” in the swimming gives her a very big advantage. She doesn’t have any problems to control it in the riding and running. Only Schoneborn (Ger) tries to reach her but at the end she is second.

Bronze medal for Asadauskaite (Ltu) who makes a beautiful running. The 3 athletes, very young, are at their first podium in a World seniors Championship.
