It ended in a double German win: <strong>Soeren<\/strong> <strong>Meissner<\/strong> was the best among the men and compatriot <strong>Leonie Beck<\/strong> came first in the women\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEN Open Water Cup Medallists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Men: <\/strong>1. Soeren Meissner (GER) 1:08:22, 2. Yuval Safra (ISR) 1:08:25, 3. Denis Addev (RUS) 1:08:25<\/p>\n<p><strong>Women: <\/strong>1. Leonie Beck (GER) 1:13:24, 2. Hannah Moore (USA) 1:13:46, 3. Leo Boy (GER) 1:13:55<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Soeren Meissner<\/strong>\u2019s speed was unmatchable for the others who couldn\u2019t keep up with the German whose powerful swim brought him the title in the Danish capital. Israel\u2019s <strong>Yuval Safra<\/strong> got the silver this time after his bronze in Ohrid two weeks ago, he just out-touched Russia\u2019s<strong> Denis Addev<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dThis was the first time I swam in Copenhagen\u201d Meissner said. \u201cI\u2019ve heard it is a really good competition. Indeed it was fun to compete here. The race was okay, I hoped to come first but I wasn\u2019t sure, so I\u2019m satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beck showed her class in the women\u2019s race. The German won the bronze in the 5km race at the World Championships in July so she was the favourite here and she landed the title with ease, gaining 22 seconds on runner-up US swimmer <strong>Hannah Moore<\/strong> (though it\u2019s a LEN event, competitions are open for everyone).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cI saw that there were a lot of good female swimmers entering this race\u201d Beck said. \u201cIt was a top competition so I did my best and hoped for a top three finish. It is always beautiful to swim in Copenhagen with the skyline and the Black Diamond building. So it was a nice swim.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/open-water\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MORE OPEN WATER COVERAGE<\/a><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www2.len.eu\/?page_id=4035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LEN OPEN WATER CUP FULL RESULTS<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Medallists of the 2019 stages of the LEN Open Water Cup<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leg 1 \u2013 Eilat (ISR) \u2013 31 March<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Men: 1.
