Ginevra Taddeucci wins gold in the 10 km in open water at the European swimming championships in Paris. In the waters of the Seine, the Italian sprinted with a lap and a half to go, overtaking the favourite, the Hungarian Viktoria Mihalyvari Farkas and “dragging” her teammate, Linda Caponi, into the comeback, who finished third and won the bronze medal.
Taddeucci; “The Seine water is dirty and full of plastic, but clear”
«The Seine was pretty dirty, I found everything, branches and leaves on the glasses, and then how much plastic, it will be biodegradable…». Ginevra Taddeucci admits that Paris brings her luck, after the gold in the 10 km in open water at the European swimming championships, but she does not back down on her criticism of the fact that she competes in the Parisian river. «An unspeakable slut was brought out…», he added to the Tuscan, speaking to Rai Sport, with a Tuscanism repeated several times amidst the embarrassment on air. “Thank goodness it was clean, imagine if it was dirty – added the Italian – The Paris 2024 race pitch was cleaner in my opinion”.
