From the lane of the Duna Arena to Lupa Lake, Italy always remains on the podium. Ginevra Taddeucci, Giulia Gabbrielleschi, Domenico Acerenza and Gregorio Paltrinieri are bronze medalists in the cross-country relay, which for the first time was swam over the distance of 6 kilometers, with the 4×1500. Paltrinieri, last relay runner, touches together with the Hungarian Kristof Rasovszky who is awarded by the photo finish. Gold goes to Germany
PALTRINIERI, ‘NOW 5,000 AND 10,000, ABSURD PROGRAM’
“Tomorrow I have 5,000, then 10,000. The program is absurd; they have put the 1,500 attached to the cross-country trials. This puts the athletes in the position of having to choose or swim badly. They have to change to protect the athletes and guarantee the show”. It is the outburst of Gregorio Paltrinieri, yesterday gold of the 1,500 in the tank, today bronze with the 4×1500 in open water. It is already projected on the new cross-country races.
A bitterness that does not diminish the joy for the new medal, this time not individual. “It was tough – adds the blue, last relay runner -. Then I found myself in a complicated situation because I was crushed by Wellbrock and Rasovszky and I had no space to break free. However, a medal arrived and we are all satisfied”.
