(Portuguese pronunciation: born September 14, 1985) is a Portuguese
athlete from Perosinho, Vila Nova de Gaia and the current triathlon
European and former World champion. Vanessa has won the European
Triathlon Championships five consecutive years (5 elite and 3

Germany, managing to grab the only title (apart from the Olympic
sceptre) missing from her career. In 1999, Fernandes was introduced
