The crowds in Singapore will be treated to tremendous races at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships that will kick off in on Monday, July 10th.
On Tuesday, three Olympic and world champions will face off in the men’s 10 km race that is bound to come down to the last few strokes to determine the podium positions:
- Florian Wellbrock (27, Germany, MSF bio here, World Aquatics bio here, @flo.swim)
- Gregorio Paltrinieri (30, Italy, MSF bio here, World Aquatics bio here, @greg_palt)
- Kristóf Rasovszky (28, Hungary, MSF bio here, World Aquatics bio here, @kristofrasovszky)
But the rest of the 82-person field will put up a fight – not only for the medals, but also right from the start in a sprint to and around the first turn buoy.
