Germany's Wellbrock romps to win in men's marathon swimming. MORE:
Wellbrock sprinted out to an early lead, was up front most of the way and won by the biggest margin in Olympic marathon swimming history on another sweltering morning in Japan's capital.
The stifling conditions apparently got to David Aubry of France, who dropped out of the race with about 3 kilometers remaining and was carried off the deck on a stretcher. There was no immediate word on his condition. “My goggles were completely snapped off and I couldn’t see a thing,” Pardoe said. “I didn’t realize how bad it was. It was all blurry in my eye.”
After making the final turn around a red buoy at the far end of the course, Wellbrock blew away the field. His coaches already were cheering and celebrating on the deck long before he entered the finishing lane.
