Leoni, the lioness of the world led by Italy. In the women’s 10km race in Fukuoka, Leonie Beck, 26, a German born in Augusta who is now stationed in Ostia, where she trains with Fabrizio Antonelli, achieves victory – by choosing the right direction – an authentic tactical masterpiece in 2h02’34”. Gold and Olympic pass like silver Chelsea Gubica at 4’1″ and American Bronze Katie Grimes (at 8″), 17, are rewarded with a photo finish compared to Rio’s Dutch Olympic champion Sharon van Roandal and other Olympic and world champion Brazil’s Ana Marcela Cuna. Sixth is Jennifer Taducci at 12 inches, Julia Gabrielski tenth (2h03’15”7).

An impressive progression, which is the development of the German, who always smiles and loves Italy, chooses a perfect course, and about ten meters is enough to reach the end funnel without too much anxiety or fears of ridicule in the struggle, he was much more vigorous in his work, and more straightforward than the others who spent the most. The European champion from Ostia proved to be the strongest because she was the most intelligent in managing the competition, which took place in the quadruple without completely flat water, repeated six times. On arrival, Antonelli emphasized his swimming skill and commended the two blue women, always in the upper echelons, who had been lacking in the last five hundred meters to reach the podium.

“I arrived dead on arrival,” said Tadauchi, “I was trying to stay in the downhill, I have no regrets that I had reached the limit, and I saw Leoni going up. There are very few regrets but I did what I had to do, it was the first 10km in the World Championships.” Gabrielski added: “I felt good, I always had problems with floats, it was a mess, how many hits I took. I tried with all my might, but in the end I got tired. Anything can happen in this race, we were ready to come up with something.” What. I’m glad I never gave up, I always tried to fix. That’s how it goes.” Tomorrow it will be the men’s turn again for the 10 metres. Italy line up the outgoing and vice-champions, Gregorio Baltrinieri and Domenico Assirenza.
