I can say that compared to the boy of many years ago that he threw himself and went without thinking, today I added that healthy dose of awareness that allows me to manage me better “. Rebirth that Burdisso then explains better:” I practically at the end of the last season I had stopped, I was stopped three months, then the opportunity to reach my old coach Simone Palombi was presented to Gubbio and it was easier with him. This, rather than a rebirth, for me it is as if it were a second career. “

Individual passes do not arrive for the blues in the finals of the 100 style.

Maybe even the maturity just made helped me to lighten me: I came here simply to have fun and this helps”. In the men’s final there is the Russian Egor Kornev in 47 “60 to put the Italian patrol behind, with the 18 -year -old Carlos D’Ambrosio who in 48” 14 goes to just one tenth from the individual pass and takes the satisfaction of beating all the best blue specialists, with Manuel Frigo third in 48 “38, Lorenzo Zazzeri Quarto in 48” 48 and Alessandro Miressi fifth in 48 “58. Coming here – says D’Ambrosio – to try to do 100 and 200 well and I’m happy with this time, I also improved what was done in the morning. It would be my first world championship in the long tank, I hope to be there. “A hope that however already seems to be reality.
