Ep 13 - Setubal World Cup Review w/ Alice Dearing
Description
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.
⚡ 3km Knockout Sprints: Hungary’s David Betlehem and Japan’s Ichika Kajimoto step into the spotlight.
📊 Predictions Check-In: Alice pulls ahead. Will tries to stay relevant. Ibiza haunts us both.
