This Sunday, the couple sponsored by Reebok faces the Half Marathon of Asunción, capital of their neighbor country.

Fábio and Beatriz Nascimento face another international challenge this Sunday. The couple sponsored by Reebok, will compete the Half Marathon of Asunción, in Paraguay, searching for victories. During the month of May, they won the Half Marathon of Punta del Leste, in Uruguay, in their respective categories. The 21 kilometers course is scheduled to start at 9h Brazilian time.

"This will be the first time that we run in Paraguay. We have the information that the course is very flat and this stimulates us even more, since the Uruguay race challenge also had the same profile", said Beatriz Nascimento, who is 27 years old, married to Fábio for nine years. " We are training hard these last few days and I believe we can surprise a lot of people".

Fábio, who is also 27 years old, is very excited, for during the last week him and his wife reached the specified times required to participate in the 5 thousand and 10 thousand meters events at the Track and Field Brazil Trophy and at the Inland Open Games. "We are very happy with those times we did, for we are now amongst the top athletes of the country of such distances", celebrated Fábio. "For this Sunday, the challenge is even bigger, but we do have a lot of chances of completing the 21 kilometers in first place", announced him.
