CHALLENGE ROME: For the first time Challenge team comes to Rome, a special course in its genera. What do you expect from a race in the charm of monuments with a millenary history?
DOMENICO PASSUELLO: Roma is so exciting even just watching it, it’s really an extraordinary chance to live it in a race like this, when I heard about this race for the first time I thought it was just impossibile, Challenge Rome 753 will be a unique event in the world because you can’t find such a place like Rome in the world.
CR: What does it mean for Challenge Team and triathlon in general to race in the Roman context from the point of view of promotion and visibility?
DP: Certainly, a race in the centre of this city may involve people who are not familiar with this sport. It will be a great advantage for Challenge Team since it is not usual for a race to be held in a city like Rome: races are often far from big cities.
CR: What race do you expect on a technical level?
DP: The path isn’t long, so there won’t be any surprise, but probably hot weather will annoy some people.
CR: A call to athletes to take part to Challenge Rome 753?
DP: I think this is a rare opportunity to enjoy your own passion in one of most beautiful city in the world.
