Problems

At the beginning of the World Championships, there were wind problems in Ostia. Violent storms, which caused severe damage in the start and finish area of ​​the open water swimming competitions, forced the organizers to consider moving these competitions to Lake Bracciano . In the end, only the start dates for 5 km and 10 km were postponed to a later point in time in order to temporarily repair the damage. In order to guarantee a start despite the launch bridge destroyed by the storm, the swimmers were lined up on a temporary leash and sent off.

There were further problems in the run-up to the pool swimming competitions in connection with the initially assembled starting blocks , which the FINA only approved for 2010. The organizers said that these starting blocks, which have a greater incline and thus enable the swimmers to push off more powerfully, were only installed for test purposes.

Swimming men

Freestyle

• One of the highlights of the Swimming World Cup was the men's 200 m freestyle final. The German Paul Biedermann achieved the best lead time . The big favorite on this route, however, was the American Michael Phelps , who won 8 gold medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing the year before . Phelps has been unbeaten on the 200m freestyle course for 5 years. Biedermann sensationally won the race with a body length ahead of Phelps and swam a new world record with 1:42:00. It was also the second world championship title for Biedermann, after having won the 400 m freestyle title two days earlier, also in a new world record time.

• The fastest swimmer in the World Cup was César Cielo Filho from Brazil. He won both the 50 m freestyle and the 100 m freestyle race. The German Britta Steffen achieved the same feat in the women's category.
