The cover takes Ludovico Viberti, who wins the 100 frogs in 59 “06 (already in the morning in battery he had marked a promising 59” 9) and goes under the time requested for Singapore (59 “2), putting behind the Russian Ivan Kozhakin (59” 14) and the Olympic champion Nicolò Martinenghi (59 “37).” – compete with Nicolò. It was not obvious to do time, so I’m happy. Now we have a month to prepare these World Cups “. It was already qualified for the 800 style, but you also take the pass in the 1500 Simona Quadarella, which wins in 15’54” 23, 8 tenths better than the required time, with a last 31 “16” decisive tank. Even if for a while he had detached his great enemy-revs, the German Isabel Gose, second to overseas “. “She beat me in the most important race at the Olympics, today is a small pill to mitigate that bitterness,” confesses Quadarella. “I didn’t expect to do this time, we are in full load. From Christian Minotti to Gianluca Belfiore? We have not distorted anything, we are giving, however, a little more of importance to my weak points, turned and basic speeds”.

Always faithful to the limit time that Fin had established the absolute, he missed him for just 2 tenths Marco De Tullio, victorious in the 400 style in 3’44 “89:” Finally – he says – I was able to carry out a preparation without hitches and the result is that I went back to compete at my level. I’m happy. Time? It is near, we wait for the convocations. “Three instead the tenths who are missing from Federico Burdisso, second in 51” 55 in the 100 butterfly behind the Swiss Noe Ponti (50 “42).” I went back to doing things that best suck me. Going to Gubbio was the most apt choice I could make in this moment of my life and my career, “says Burdisso, who at the beginning of the season returned from his old coach Simone Palombi.” Also swimming alone at the moment is more congenial to me. The race? I was a bit broken in the final otherwise I could have made a couple of tenths less, but the time for the relay is there. “Two tenths from the edge, even if in the 50 back weigh a little more, Federica Toma went, who in 27” 97 has almost equaled the time with which Sara Curtis (which in Rome is not there) had won last April in Riccione. “But she is more sprinter, I point especially on the 100 tomorrow,” says Toma. “I am happy with time, I approached a 3 -year -old staff.”
QUESTION 4X200
–
Individual time does not come in the 200 freestyle, but, in theory, the sum of the best four seasonal times would vary the pass for the relay. If the surprise in Riccione had been the 14 -year -old Alessandra Mao (1’58 “86), at Settecolli the 17 -year -old Bianca Nannucci emerges, who closes third in 1’58” 35 behind the British Freya Colbert (1’57 “32) and Abbie Wood (12’58” 21). “I am very happy – says Nannucci – especially for having improved my staff my staff that I had established in April in Riccione. When I raised my head at the touch I didn’t realize the position, then I heard the speaker voice and it was a good emotion”. Immediately behind her the other blue Anna Chiara Mascolo (1’58 “69) and Matilde Biagiotti (1’58” 85). If the Cesare Butini DT decides to bring the 4×200, the quartet could be this.
Ceccon
–
He did not chase times, given that the pass for Singapore already had it, Thomas Ceccon in the final of the 100 back, closed with a second place in 53 “31, who did not satisfy him. Certainly happy to have put his hand forward at the great Greek rival Apostolos Christou (third in 53” 47), but certainly less for having closed behind the Russian nascent star, the 19 year old Miron Lifintsev (53 “23), 5 golds to the European European Championships of Budapest 2024. In the 50 male style, blue do not add to the already qualified Leonardo Deplano, who is confirmed as the best Italian closes second in 21” 89, behind the 21 year old Russian Egor Kornev (21 “58) and the Serbian Andrej Barna (21” 88). Fifth in 22 “05 Lorenzo Zazzeri, 3 tenths from the edge. Silvia Di Pietro was the best blue in the 50 butterflies, third in 25” 98, 3 tenths from the edge, behind the German Angelina Koehler (25 “55) and the Greek Anna Ntolaunaunaki (25” 97).

Paralympic

Within the Settecolli program, as usual, also the Paralympic races (which provide different categories within the same test). In the 100 men’s back success for Tommaso Tretti and third place of Riccardo Menciotti, in the 50 female butterfly victory of Carlotta Gilli and third place for Alessia Scartechini, in the 100 men’s men’s frogs won by the Dutch Rogier Dorsman, podium for Eros Engro and Manuel Bortuzzo, in the female ones Third Alessia Berra, in the 50 female back second and third place for Monica Boggioni and Domiziana and Domiziana Mecenate, in the 50 male style victory by Tommaso Wulzer in front of Federico Bicelli and Luigi Beggiato. “This Setteculli – says the coach Roberto Bonanni – will have to provide us with indications for the purposes of the European Juniores championships in Istanbul in late July and the September World Cup in Singapore. Wulzer is a very promising young man and perspective towards Los Angeles 2028, while excellent results have arrived in continuity from the most mature athletes with what was seen to the recent World Cup of Berlin”.
