I was reading an article (well, I can't actually read it) linked at worldofo.com and found a photo of what looks like Viktoria Brautigam on the podium at a micro-sprint in Hungary (sorry, not Latvia) last week. Looks like a pretty cool sand-cast medal. Is it really her?

I can't read latvian, but I suppose "Ungārijas" means Hungary..
And name of a girl in the picture is Laura Vīķe (from Latvia).

Viktoria would be the one on the right (in what looks like a US Team jacket) in the bottom photo.

Thanks guys, it was a fun race. there were two categories for the women age 15-50 and everyone else. there were 3 qualifying heats, where i placed 7th in mine (top 7/8 advanced) and managed to not screw up too much in the final to take 3rd. It wasn't actually part of the 5days of hungary, but just a little extra fun that they had. I obviously wore my US jacket for my podium appearance. you can almost see my bellybutton, too.
