a dominant triumph

Gose perfected their performance in the Duna Arena and thus confirmed their ambitions, after remarkable placements at the Olympic Games in Paris and the World Cup in Doha, to be at the top of the short train. "The 1,500 meters are a hard thing. I'm happy about my performance," said the 22-year-old after the race. Her strong idea comes especially against the background of the absence of the Langbahn world champion and permanent rival Katie Ledecky, who did not take part in the competitions. Gose benefited from this situation and took the opportunity to demonstrate her strength, as well as hz.de

With her triumph in Budapest, Gose set an example for German swimming sports and provided the first great success for the German Swimming Association at this World Cup. While the men in the 4 × 200 freestyle relay scraped past a medal, Gose consolidated the hopes for further success in the upcoming competitions. At a time when the German swimmers want to build on old success again, Gose's gold medal is an encouraging sign.
