An estimate of about 805 men and women gathered up on April 25, at the Orinoco river according to the LA Times. This competition is held every year at the Orinoco River. The competition is held to demonstrate the braveness and courage of the participants. Out of the 805 competitors only 520 finished all the way. The rest got pushed too far behind by the current and were not able to catch up.
"I like it because it's an event that's never the same. ... This year the Orinoco was very, very strong and the Caroni was very gentle," Alvarez said. "Since it depends a lot on the current, there's a lot of strategy involved."
