Ginevra Taddeucci emerges from the Seine with a medal around her neck, the 28th for the Italian team at the Paris 2024 Olympics. In the women's 10 km cross-country swimming, the Florentine born in 1997 won bronze, the most important result of her career after winning silver in the European Championships in Rome two years ago. As the race entered its sixth kilometer, the Italian, who had been in the lead group from the very beginning, made her way into the trio that had taken the breakout, giving herself a chance to win in the intense final sprint. Sharon van Rouwendaal (2:03:34.2) of the Netherlands, who was also champion in Rio 2016 and silver in Tokyo 2020, won here, finishing ahead of both Australian Moesha Johnson (+5.5) and the Tuscan (+8.6). Giulia Gabbrielleschi's impressive sixth place (+43.7) for our country should also be noted.
