Ginevra Taddeucci wins bronze in 3km knockout sprint at 2026 European Championships
Italian open‑water swimmer Ginevra Taddeucci earned a bronze medal in the women's 3 km knockout sprint on 7 August 2026 in Paris, finishing behind Germany’s Isabel Gose (gold) and Hungary’s Bettina Fabian (silver). The race was part of the 2026 European Aquatics Championships held on the Seine River, which also featured Taddeucci’s earlier victories in the 5 km and 10 km events – making her the first Italian woman to win both distances at a single European edition.
Taddeucci described the knockout sprint as “a very difficult race, the shorter the distance the more complicated it becomes,” and expressed satisfaction with her performance despite disliking the format change. The championships ran from 7 to 16 August 2026 in Paris, with events staged on the Seine and at the Olympic Aquatics Centre in Saint‑Denis.
