Company of the 17-year-old Romanian who doubled the success in the 200. The blue does not rest: “With the staff I would have won the gold”

Alessandro Miressi closed the final of the 100 meters freestyle of the World Swimming Championships, staged in Budapest, in eighth position. The 23-year-old from Turin (Fiamme Oro – Aqua Centurions) stopped the clock at 48 “31. The Romanian David Popovici (double 100 and 200 sl for him) in 47” 58, silver for the French Maxime Grousset ( 47 “64), bronze for the Canadian Joshua Liendo Edwards (47” 71). “I’m trying in every way but this is the result. Victory was within reach, if I was personal I won.” Palpable disappointment in the words of Alessandro Miressi, after the eighth place in the final of the 100 meters freestyle at the World Swimming Championships in Budapest 2022. “That’s how it went, I don’t know what to say. Disappointment? A lot”, adds the Turin-born Fiamme Oro and Aqua Centurions, to the microphones of Rai in mixed zone.
