He was pretty much stroke for stroke with Lukas Martens<\/strong> until the 1300m mark when Wellbrock extended his lead with a final 100 of 55.88 guiding him home to victory by more than three seconds.<\/p>\n
Martens stopped the clock at 14:49.26 to easily get inside the cut for Tokyo of 14:59.00.<\/p>\n
It will be a fascinating battle in Tokyo with Gregorio Paltrinieri<\/strong> also taking on the pool-open water double.<\/p>\n
The Italian – who set a European record of 14:33.10 at last year’s Sette Colli<\/strong> – went 14:40.38 at the Italian Championships in Riccione a little over a week ago.<\/a><\/p>\n
Wellbrock now second in the rankings behind Paltrinieri.<\/p>\n
Isabel Gose<\/strong> added an 800 ticket for Tokyo to the 400 following her eight-length victory on Saturday with a time of 8:26.37 earning her a spot alongside Sarah K\u00f6hler<\/strong> who had already qualified.<\/p>\n
K\u00f6hler was second in 8:28.56 with Leonie M\u00e4rtens<\/strong> third in 8:48.94.<\/p>\n
