ItalyThe Italian men’s four crew has once again won the world championship title in canoeing, securing gold at the World Championships in Amsterdam. This marks their second consecutive victory, with Italy defeating Germany by 86 hundredths of a second and Great Britain by one second and eight tenths. The race was highly competitive, with Germany initially leading but being overtaken by the Italians in the final quarter. The team dedicated their win to Filippo Mondelli, a former teammate who passed away in 2021 from osteosarcoma. The Italian team also came close to breaking the world record, finishing with a time of 5:33.60, just short of the Netherlands' 2021 record of 5:32.03. In addition to this gold medal, Italy earned a bronze in another Olympic event earlier in the day.
