Sharon van Rouwendaal Clinches Olympic Gold in Seine Marathon Swim

Dutch swimmer triumphs in challenging conditions, overcoming strong currents and health concerns

Van Rouwendaal edged out Australia's Moesha Johnson and Italy's Ginevra Taddeucci for the gold.
Concerns about Seine's water quality nearly led to event relocation but conditions improved.
The race featured a scenic Paris backdrop with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Pont Alexandre III.
Van Rouwendaal adds to her legacy with another Olympic gold, having won in Rio 2016.
Moesha Johnson led most of the race but was overtaken in the final stretch.
