THE EUROPEAN CROSS-COUNTRY SWIMMING MEDAL PLAYER
9.56: The gap between Rasovszky and Guidi is more or less the same as there was between Filadelli and Betlehem at the start of the third quarter. Guidi can try but needs “help” from the Hungarian champion
9.55: Difficult situation for gold, Rasovszky finds himself in front with an important advantage, Guidi should recover about ten seconds, perhaps a little more than the Hungarian champion who is not at his best but has great experience
9.51: Hungary in front, Italy about ten seconds behind, then Germany, Spain, Hungary and Israel behind
9.48: Betlehem detaches Filadelli, who is 8″ from the head
9.45am: Betlehem’s furious pace, Filadelli tries to resist behind him, Israel is already behind, Spain is very far away
9.43: And Betlehem is now ahead of the force, has overtaken Israel and Filadelli is struggling to keep up with his pace. He’s rocking the race
9.42: Betlethem goes back to Filadelli, while the Spanish Puebla struggles to keep the pace. It will therefore be Italy-Hungary, as predicted, the challenge for the gold
9.41: Spain and Hungary are back on Filadelli’s tail, Germany seems unable to return
9.40: Filadelli has his Israeli rival in his sights, from behind he finds the fittest man of the moment strong, Betlehem for Hungary
9.36: Israel first at the second change, Italy second, Spain third about ten meters away, then another ten meters away Hungary and Germany
9.35: Taddeucci has decisively separated Martinez in the final and will give Filadelli a good advantage
9.33: Israel in the lead with 200 meters to go until the end of the second half, behind them Italy and Spain, about ten meters further back Germany and Hungary who seem to have limited the damage in this final, France now out of the game
9.31: Once again Taddeucci chooses the internal trajectory and divides himself from Martinez. Now the gap between Germany and Hungary is more marked
9.29. Be careful because it could be an important moment. Spafna and Italy remain in pursuit of the Israeli Roditi, Germany and Hungary break away, France further behind
9.27: Israel takes off, Taddeucci is in the group of chasing athletes
9.23: Israel, the only team that fielded the man in the second half, takes the lead
9.20: In the water Taddeucci for Italy, Fabian for Hungary, Martinez for Spain, Rieder for Germany, Roditi for Israel, Cassignol for France
9.18: At the changeover Spain, Hungary, Italy, Germany in front. Always a group of six athletes with France and Israel also in front
9.15: Spain, Italy, Germany in front when the first half is about to end. Longer group but still with six elements
9.13: Gabbrielleschi rejoins the group, or rather it is the group that rejoins her who is third
9.12. Spain, Hungary and Germany at the head of the group, Gabbrielleschi has moved to the right in the race field, Slovakia already behind
9.10: Gabbrielleschi changes trajectory and goes back up the slope
9.09: Giulia Gbbrielleschi remains at the back of the extended group and is second to last after the first 600 meters
9.03: The Spanish De Valdes immediately sets the pace. Spiwocks in the water for Germany (which doesn’t have Beck), Szimcsak for Hungary (a very strong men’s team), Jouisse for France who has Olivier in the last leg
9.02: The match has started
8.58: The Azzurri’s opponents will be Spain, Germany, Israel, Hungary, France and Slovakia.
8.55: For Gabbrielleschi and Taddeucci it is also a probative test in view of the 1500m of the Settecolli which could pave the way for the second Italian qualified for the Games in the open waters given that those qualified for the 1500m freestyle can also participate in the open water competition free with nominal card (the one won by Arianna Bridi at the World Championships in Doha, however, is for the nation and therefore leaves the technical staff the possibility of choice).
8.52: Giulia Gabbrielleschi will be there at the launch, bronze in the 10 km, then Ginevra Taddeucci, silver in the 5 km, Andrea Filadelli, seventh in the 5 km but a great protagonist two weeks ago in Golfo Aranci of the success of the Azzurri in the relay and finally Marcello Guidi, bronze in the 5 km.
8.49: It ends with the relay and, in the absence of the big names Paltrinieri and Acerenza and with Verani and Pozzobon returning from the 25 km, the choices of the coach Stefano Rubaudo are quite forced with a compact quartet that can take excellent satisfaction.
8.46: One match from the end of the continental event, Italy is already certain of having won the victory in the specialty medal table with 3 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze. Germany is chasing her and at most today they will be able to equalize the number of gold medals but will not be able to overtake the Italian team, whose presence up to now has been impressive in the medal table.
8.43: This is the last test for the open water specialists before the Paris Games which should be held on the Seine, pollution permitting. The competition takes place in the waters of the Ada Ciganlija, an island in the Sava river, transformed into a peninsula, which lies within the city (the Danube flows on the opposite side). It’s like Margaret Island in Budapest. Also known as the “Belgrade Sea”.
8.40: Good morning and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of the fourth and final day of competition of the 2024 European Cross-Country Swimming Championships in Belgrade which includes the 4×1500 meter mixed relay.
