Yesterday Thomas was unable to reach the plant in time due to an accident, but it will still be in the race between today and tomorrow in other distances and specialties

Who did not happen to work late for traffic? And now that the summer weekends move thousands of people fleeing the heat of the cities, the queues increase dramatically. And among the common mortal victims of the traffic jams there is also the swimming champion Thomas Ceccon. He was supposed to be he yesterday, Friday 20 June, the protagonist of the 50 freestyle of the “Cool Swim Meeting” of Merano. Instead at the time of the street, the Vicenza had not yet arrived in the pool and the lane number three, alongside the other blues, depart and fridge, remained empty.

No physical problem, only – precisely – the cursed traffic, which prevented him from presenting himself in time in Merano, in what was to be his first race in Italy after the training period in Australia from January to April. Ceccon was blocked on the A22 motorway by a maxi-ingorganization caused by an accident and the high flow of vehicles, largely German and Austrians returning home for the Corpus Domini holiday, a holiday suppressed in Italy but which was celebrated on Thursday 19 June. Thomas will be regularly in the race instead on the weekend being also registered in the 100 and 200 freestyle, in the 50 and 100 butterfly, in the 100 back and in the 50 frogs. From Thursday 26 to Saturday 28 will then be among the big names in the race at the Settecolli in Rome.
