The cheers only came when Isabel Gose had already left the Duna Arena swimming pool. After several silver and bronze medals at major events, the Magdeburg woman is now world champion for the first time. The Magdeburg native achieved a start-to-finish victory in the 1,500-meter freestyle on the 25-meter track. After 15:24.69 minutes she was 5.45 seconds ahead of the Italian Simona Quadarella. The American Jilian Cox came third.
For Gose it was the second medal in Budapest after silver in the 800 meter freestyle. National coach Bernd Berkhahn’s athlete also benefited from the absence of the big stars on this route, such as Kathy Ledecky from the USA. “The 1,500 meters is a tough thing. I’m happy with my performance,” said Gose. At the Olympic Games in Paris she won bronze in the 1,500 meter freestyle.
