Brazilian long-distance swimmer Ana Marcela Cunha won the gold medal in the Women's 10-kilometer open water marathon on Tuesday at the Tokyo Olympics, marking the first Olympic gold medal in the 29-year-old's career.
The grueling open water swim took place at Odaiba Marine Park, just across the bay from the Olympic Village. Cunha touched the wall less than 30 seconds shy of the two-hour mark as the 10-kilometer swim made its appearance at The Games for the fourth time since 2008.
Five years after placing 10th in the race at the 2016 Rio Games, Cunha finally has her gold.
