Among the women, Spain\u2019s <strong>Paola Ruiz<\/strong> stunned the favorites and out-touched Olympic champion <strong>Sharon<\/strong> <strong>van Rouwendaal<\/strong> to clinch the title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Medalists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Men: <\/strong>1.

Aubry won by a 5-second margin, while the race for the silver was tight but the Greek touched in 1.62sec ahead of the Spaniard.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cIt was a rather slow race, and I had problems to keep moving\u201d David Aubry said after his fine win. \u201cI tried to swim far ahead, but my arms where so heavy&#8230; Luckily, I eventually managed to increase my speed during the last lap.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Though this 10km event also served as the French nationals and the a vast majority of the 118 male competitors lining up for the start represented the hosts, only three of them could make the Top 10 in the LEN race.

It was a two-horse race for the title, while three swimmers rushed for the bronze and stormed in 37 seconds behind the top two. Here Portugal\u2019s <strong>Angelica Andre<\/strong> hit the panel 0.11sec earlier than the French world champion <strong>Aurelie Muller<\/strong> while compatriot <strong>Lara Grangeon<\/strong> came fifth with further 0.83sec adrift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was ready for a hard race, for we had high level entries, Olympic and World champions\u201d Ruiz said. \u201cI like to swim in front, but during the last lap I saw other swimmers around me, so I tried to increase my speed.
