As a triumphant ride in water. Five hours of strokes on the river Kazanka and Italy it turns golden with Simone Ruffini, burning of 4 “4 quotatissimo the American Alex Meyer and 1’27″ 3-mate Matteo Furlan, fresh from bronze in the 5km. And then on the podium he exhibits a clear sign: “Aurora you marry me?” Aurora Aurora Ponselè, linking European medalist distance runner.
But back to the race: a double gold-bronze peel by hand, and at least the title of world champion Martina Grimaldi of two years ago has been defended, even though at the male. There are only two previous World Cup in 25 km: the gold of Viola Valli in Fukuoka in 2001 and Valerio Cleri in Rome in 2009, while the first medal in the distance back to Chiarandini in Perth 1991.
Evan daring, more of a marathon of the sea, anything less than a great background in the traditions of Argentina on the Rio Parana. Here we fight to another survival, in this mega pool with the currents, and in a circuit to be repeated ten times. Ruffini, born in December 1989, Tolentino, competes for the Army but he trains Aniene Rome, with Emanuele Sacchi. High 173 cm 67 kg, far boasted only two medals at the European heavy 2010, two bronzes in the lake Balaton, but about 5 km (individual and team). After the Olympics taken in the 10 km, now that other undertaking. It ‘was born a star in the background?
THE RACE – In the men’s race, start strong Brazilian Diogo Villarinho, which has blown the team bronze to Italy, with Ruffini stationed 8th place at 16 “, and 11″ on the second lap and at 17 ° to 17 “in the third, until dates back to 7th place 6″.

Matteo Furlan is 12 ° to 10 “. After 20 kilometers, Ruffini remains among the top three, taking turns in the lead with Axel Reymond French and Russian Evgenii Drattchev, with the eruption of American Alex Meyer who is in the slipstream and free Dutch Marcel Schouten. Before the tenth and final round, Alex Meyer passes before Ruffini and Furlan, achieved by the Venezuelan Maldonado, while French Reymond comes off at 22 “, ditto the Russian Drattchev. The last meters are the most dramatic and exciting for the two Italians, including the fear of being overcome and control the American, in the minority. Ruffini looks up often, to monitor transactions, look at the goal, the finish line, the corridor leading to the podium. It ‘a great crescendo for Ruffini. Until exaltation.
WOMEN – In the 25 km women: gold at the Brazilian Anha Marcela Cunha in 5h 13’47 “3, silver Hungarian Angol, bronze at the 40-year old German Angela Maurer, already silver in Barcelona in 2013; 7th Alice Franco in 6 ‘and 10th Ilaria Raimondi.
