Swimmer Spyros Gianniotis won the final race and the champion’s title at the 10 kilometres open water FINA World Cup in Shantou, China, on October 13, and obviously, the season ended in the best possible way. When asked by reporters how he felt after his win, he said he was perfectly satisfied with all the races. "I have met my target which was to clinch the top spot in the World Cup." Gianniotis finished fourth in the London Olympics and was the world champion in the men's 10km open water event at the 2011 FINA World Championships.
