Italy has now consolidated a strong lead in the Champions Trophy table after day two of the 6th FINA World Open Water Swimming Championships 2010 Roberval, Quebec, Canada.

The gold medal and World Championship title in the Mens 10km went to the “Italian Stalian” Valerio Cleri, (the reigning World 25km Champion and 4th placegetter in 2009) who showed how “age = experience” when he pulled away in the final 400m and held a one body lead all the way to the finish line.
