German swimmer Florian Wellbrock won gold at the European Championships in Paris in open water swimming over 10 kilometers. The race took place in a branch of the Seine near the Eiffel Tower, and Wellbrock succeeded in returning to the place where he experienced disappointment during the 2024 Olympic Games. Spiegel.de ↗
The result was decided by a dramatic finish. In the final meters, Wellbrock overtook the previous leader and reached the finish as the winner. The silver medal went to Hungary's Dávid Betlehem, who, according to Hungarian sources, fought for the result in a demanding finish. The bronze was won by another German representative, Oliver Klemet. Deutschlandfunk ↗
For Wellbrock, the victory also carried special significance given his previous appearance in Paris. At the Olympic Games two years earlier, he had struggled in the Seine and left the city mainly with unpleasant sporting memories. This time, however, he fulfilled expectations that had been set more cautiously before the start, and emerged from the water as European champion. Welt ↗
The German team thus secured two medals in this discipline. Wellbrock's triumph also confirmed his return among the most prominent names in open water swimming, and turned Paris, for him, into a place of success rather than merely Olympic disappointment.
