Florian Wellbrock Sets His Sights on Paris Olympics
German Swimmer Aims for Marathon Double
Wellbrock, the reigning Olympic champion in the men's 10km open water event, has his eyes set on becoming the first swimmer to win both the pool and open water marathon events at the same Olympic Games.
The 25-year-old Wellbrock has been in excellent form in recent months, winning the 800m and 1500m freestyle events at the European Championships in Rome. He also won the 10km open water event at the World Championships in Budapest, further solidifying his status as one of the world's best swimmers.
Wellbrock's success in both the pool and open water is a testament to his versatility and his ability to adapt to different racing conditions. He is a strong swimmer with a powerful kick, and he is also able to maintain a high pace for long periods of time.
The Paris Olympics will be Wellbrock's third Olympic Games, and he will be one of the favorites in both the pool and open water events. If he can win both events, he will become only the second swimmer in history to achieve the feat.
