Men's Olympic 10K Marathon Swim - Results

Paul Asmuth, who was one of Olympic Mark Warkentin's coaches on the feeding station, said this of Mark's effort today, "He swam a really strategic race. His feedings went well and he was in good position. He swam real well. It was an exciting race, the other guys just had a little more at the end. Towards the end, Maarten drafted off of David Davies and they just got a big separation quickly."

All the men worked to put on a very entertaining race. Congratulations to everyone.

Vladimir received 2 yellow cards. The last yellow card was at the very end of the race when he was already out of the top 3 and swimming near Mark Warkentin.
