France's Aurelie Muller repeats as 10k open water champ at aquatics worlds

Aurelie Muller of France defended her 10K open water swimming title on Sunday at the world aquatics championships in Budapest, Hungary.

The win makes up for her disappointment at the 2016 Olympics, where she was disqualified and stripped of her silver medal for colliding with Italy's Rachele Bruni at the end.

Muller finished in two hours and 13.70 seconds, beating Samantha Arevalo of Ecuador by 3.30 seconds, to make it two golds for France from two open water races after Marc-Antoine Olivier's men's 5K title the day before.

Italy's Arianna Bridi and Brazil's Marcela Ana Cunha shared bronze. Both were 3.50 behind.

Stephanie Horner was the top Canadian, finishing 28th
