Gregorio Paltrinieri made it again, six days after his thrilling 0.1sec win over fellow Italian Domenico Acerenza, he managed to out-touch his team mate again, this time by 0.8sec. In the women’s race the Germans delivered a 1-2, though Leonie Beck’s victory was a convincing one as he enjoyed a 9-second advantage ahead of Jeanette Spiwoks.

Gregorio Paltrinieri won back-to-back
titles in six days to end the European open water swimming season on the same
high note as he had started it back in May. He came first at the European
Aquatics Championships in the 5km and 10km events – and now he doubled down the
last two legs held in Italy: he had triumphed in Piombino last Sunday and now
in Alghero too.
Again, he staged a neck-to-neck duel
with compatriot Domenico Acerenza and he managed to hit the panel 0.8sec ahead
of his fellow Italian (it was 0.1sec six days ago). French world champion
MarcAntoine Olivier returned to the series for this last leg to push back
Piombino bronze medallist Kristof Rasovszky to the fourth place. Only 1.3sec
separated the two, this time the Hungarian Olympic runnerup could not make the
podium.
The women’s finish was not as
thrilling as last time, Leonie Beck made a clean job and won with a 9- second
margin. Winner in Barcelona, Jannette Spiwoks ensured a German 1-2 here as she
was two seconds faster than Giulia Gabbrielleschi, who had to settle for the
bronze after making the top of the podium in Piombino.
The event at the coast of Sardinia
concluded this season’s LEN Open Water Cup. The men’s races saw a French, a
German and two Italian wins, while the women’s legs saw two victories apiece
for Italy and Germany.
