Paris 2024 Olympics, Geneva Taddeucci bronze in the Seine

Ginevra Taddeucci bronze

The day at the Paris 2024 Olympics opened with a medal for Italy. Ginevra Taddeucci finished in third place in the 10 km cross-country swimming event, held regularly in the waters of the Seine River after controversy related to the bathing of the river that passes through the French capital.

L'Azzurra è was good at responding to the breakaway of Sharon Van Rouwendaal and Australian Johnson, going to form a trio that left no hope for the pursuers, including Giulia Gabbrielleschi who è was beaten in the sprint for fourth place by Cunha and Fabian.

Sharon Van Rouwendaal è deserved the gold medal in the final when she decided to literally go against the current by cutting a corner unlike the other two medalists who did not risk settling for a place on the podium.
