2016 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year nomination

Victoria Mori is an unusual and unique athlete with a wide, warm smile and a vast range of abilities in the open water. She not only competes in both the FINA/HOSA 10K Marathon Swimming World Cup and the FINA Open Water Swimming Grand Prix professional marathon swimming circuits, but also on the winter and ice swimming circuits. From competitive marathons in her native Argentina to pro events in Canada, Macedonia and Italy, she races as well as venues far north in the Arctic Circle in Murmansk. The 23-year-old competes in the toughest open water swimming circuits on the globe, finding herself in the top 5 among the marathon pros and on top of the podium among the winter swimmers. For her versatility in the open water, for her willingness to travel the globe to compete against the world's best in both very warm and bitterly cold temperatures, for her role as an ambassador of the sport wherever she goes, Victoria Mori is a worthy nominee as the 2016 World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year.
