ROUGH seas call for hardy souls. The world&#39;s best marathon swimmers ventured out at Ostia Beach this Saturday morning in Rome and battled amongst themselves and the windy, wavy elements in the men&#39;s 25K competition at the FINA World Championships. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The conditions were very rough,&quot; United States head coach Catherine Vogt said immediately after the race. &quot;Our kids did awesome. We are so proud of them. They were in the [lead] pack the whole time until the very end.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Valerio Cleri, who placed a close fourth in Wednesday&#39;s 10K, came back to capture the first swimming gold for Italy with a strong closing sprint over Trent Grimsey of Australia.  Grimsey nearly gutted a victory despite having competed in all three events in these championships (the 5K on Tuesday, the 10K on Wednesday and the 25K today). Vladimir Dyatchin of Russia, a former 5K and 10K world champion, broadened his reportoire to include the 25K, took third. <\/p>\n<p>The final results are as follows:<br \/>\nGOLD: Valerio Cleri (ITA), 5:26:31.6<br \/>\nSILVER: Trent Grimsey (AUS), 5:26:50.7<br \/>\nBRONZE: Vladimir Dyatchin (RUS), 5:29:29.3<br \/>\n4.
