The caimana del Piave reaches 3 tenths after the French Grangeon, but conquers the first European podium on Lupa Lake
MASERADA. Barbara Pozzobon’s first career medal at a European Championship is bronze. The blue from Maserada finished in third place the 25 km of open water swimming that closed the program of this swimming specialty held at Lupa Lake, a drinking water basin near Budapest.
The 27 year old athlete registered with the Hydros Natatorium Treviso completed the grueling test in 4 hours 54’58 “7 at 1’01” 7 from the winner, the German Lea Boy dominating in 4 hours 54’57 “0.
For the 21-year-old Teutonic this is the first international victory on an individual level. Silver to the French Lara Grangeon (1’01 “4 from the German), Pozzobon gets the award he deserved for some time. He had tamed extra-large distances around the globe, twice won the ultramarathon World Cup. However, there was no jab in a great event, the coup that would have given a swerve to the palmarès. It has arrived.
