Thomas Ceccon (Fame)
In Toronto, for the third stage of the World Cup in the 25 meter pool, two records fall in the 200m backstroke: the world record which had stood for 10 years and belonged to the Australian Mitch Larkin in 1’45″63, now canceled by the Hungarian Olympian Hubert Kos in 1’45″12. And the Italian one, created by Thomas Ceccon, second in touch in 1’47″49 ahead of his partner Lorenzo Mora, who conquered the podium in 1’50″32 but lost from the Vicenza native the record of 1’48″43 of 2023 in Otopeni from Vicenza, to the sixth podium in the World Cup and therefore the first Italian to swim the specialty under 1’48”. A great race for the two Italians and for the Hungarian who trains in Austin with Bowman and is engaging in a great competition with the Vicenza Olympian in the sun-gazing specialty. Kos takes 10,000 dollars and above all mortgages the Cup and other bonuses such as the treble, not satisfied he is second in the 100 medley of Casas.

The world record for the 100m dolphin also falls: Noè Ponti loses it, third in the race, while Canadian Liendo wins it. Then Liendo also wins the 50 freestyle with a Cup record. In Corbeau’s 100m breaststroke, which shook the world championship, Ludovico Viberti came eighth. Peaty returns to the podium.
