Versatile women in the container cup Tuesday evening: triathlete Valerie Barthelemy and all-around athlete Noor Vidts. The results were also corresponding: Barthelemy set a new running record and narrowly set the bicycle record, but in the final score collided with the world champion pentathlon.
–
Valerie Barthelemy, tenth in the Olympic triathlon in Tokyo, started like a rocket in the container. With a running time of just 4 minutes and 44 seconds in the 1,500 meters, the American-Belgian is the fastest female runner ever in the TV program of Play4. Barthelemy also showed himself super strong in cycling. She completed the three kilometers in 4 minutes and 33 seconds, which made it just three seconds slower than cyclists Lotte Kopecky and Jolien D’hoore. Barthelemy fared well in the other tests, except on the monkey bars. After only 7 bars she had to unload, a depth record in the container for the women. It also cost her the win and provisional lead.
Because, as befits a real all-around athlete, Noor Vidts didn’t have a single weak part. In fact, Vidts is currently the best woman in monkey bars (62), golf (98 meters), rowing (3:33.22 over 1,000 meters), shooting (3/5) and bench press (65 kg) this season. ). The world champion pentathlon and number four in the Olympic heptathlon also proved in Woestijnvis’ compact heptathlon that she is the perfect all-round athlete. At the finish she turned out to be 14 seconds (or 14 monkey bars) faster than a bald Barthelemy.
