In the end they were in the water for two hours.
Ultimately, the Brazilian Ana Marcela Cunha prevailed ahead of Sharon van Rouwendaal (Netherlands) and Kareena Lee (Australia).
A shame from a German point of view: Leonie Beck delivered an excellent race and fought for the medals for a long time.
In the final sprint, however, she lacked the strength and ultimately came in fifth.
