The World Cup gets cold, tidal, and tactical in Setúbal—where Olympic hopefuls made their final statements before the World Championships.
On this episode of Black Line Fever, Alice Dearing and I break down all four races from Stop 3 of the 2025 World Aquatics Open Water World Cup. From Moesha Johnson’s second win of the season to Marc-Antoine Olivier’s masterclass in patience and positioning, Setúbal delivered moments that will shape how we view the race to Singapore.
We unpack what mattered most: the breakthroughs, the blow-ups, and the athletes putting it all together at the right time.
In This Episode:
🏊♀️ Women’s 10km: Moesha Johnson dominates again, but the podium tells a bigger story about Europe’s rising depth.
🏊♂️ Men’s 10km: Olivier times it perfectly. Rasovszky gambles and loses. Klemet flies under the radar—again.
