Ana Marcela Cunha, Allan Do Carmo Win FINA 10K World Cup Stop in China

Brazil’s Ana Marcela Cunha and Allan do Carmo were the winners of the 10th stop of the FINA 10K Marathon Swimming World Cup, taking place in Chun’an, China on October 11.

Cunha completed the race in 2h03m36s, while do Carmo took 1h53m04s to touch home, after having placed second in Viedma (ARG) and Lac Megantic (CAN) earlier in the circuit.
