Lurz and Okimoto win New York leg of FINA 10K Marathon Swimming World Cup 2009

Germany’s Thomas Lurz and Brazil’s Poliana Okimoto both won tactical races in the New York City leg of the series. Lurz’s fourth World Cup victory in a row means he is well on his way to his goal of capturing his first overall FINA World Cup season title in 2009. The choppy conditions provided a real test of open water swimming experience. Okimoto caught 15-year-old Eva Fabian of the USA with 150m to go. The duo matched each other stroke-for-stroke to the finish with Okimoto winning by half a body length.
