A large field of 75 marathon swimmers (34 women and 41
men) participated in the second stage of the FINA 10km Marathon Swimming World
Cup 2014 in Cancun Mexico on Saturday which featured extraordinarily close
finishes in both races.
Among
the men’s tough competitive field, 2012 Olympic silver medalist Thomas Lurz
(GER) took out the race in 1h56m44s. The German veteran, who has totaled 20
wins in the FINA 10km circuit since 2007, registered his first win of the year
in Cancun. Italy’s Simone Ruffini touched home a hundredth of a second later,
in 1h56m45s while Brazilian Diogo Villarinho completed the podium, clocking
1h56m46s.
The
women’s race also featured an experienced field of open water swimmers with
2012 Olympic bronze medalist Martina Grimaldi of Italy winning the event in
2h12m37s. Olympic champion Poliana Okimoto (BRA), first in Viedma, powered home
to take second in a time of 2h12m38s while compatriot Ana Marcela Cunha, second
in Viedma, claimed third spot, in 2h12m39s.
