Day 1 report<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Moesha Johnson<\/strong> reaffirmed her status as the dominant force in women\u2019s open water with 3k sprint gold on the penultimate stop of the Open Water World Cup in Golfo Aranci.<\/p>\n
D\u00e1vid<\/strong> Betlehem<\/strong> won the men\u2019s title as Paulo Strehlke Delgado\u00a0<\/strong>claimed silver to secure Mexico’s first open water medal in international waters.<\/p>\n
Johnson won her third straight 10k on the opening day of the Open Water World Cup with a whopping 25-second winning margin.<\/p>\n
The Olympic silver medallist returned for the 3k sprint knockout to lead the way in the heats and semis before winning the final in 6:18.60 to clinch the double-double after winning both events at the previous World Cup stop in Ibiza.<\/p>\n
Isabel Gose<\/strong> \u2013 coached by Bernd Berkhahn<\/strong> alongside Johnson at Magdeburg – was second in 6:19.80 with Spain\u2019s Paula Otero Hernandez<\/strong> of Spain third in 6:22.80.<\/p>\n
Johnson has now won all five titles available to her over three World Cup stops with three 10k and two 3k sprint golds with just one stop remaining in Setubal, Portugal, next month. She also led off an Australia quartet that finished third in the mixed relay.<\/p>\n
The Australian said through World Aquatics: \u201cI’m not done yet and I think just the knockout really does challenge me and to come away with a gold after two big weeks of racing and a relay this morning, I’m really stoked with that. It’s just such a beautiful afternoon and I’m really grateful to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
