Five podiums less than Doha, where however Ledecky was missing and did not weigh the post Olympiad effect that influenced the choices of Ceccon and Martinenghi. And we cultivate talents that in Los Angeles 2028 …

If seven medals seem few to you, it’s only because you were – we had – made the good mouth. The Italy swimming (in the tank) returns from the Singapore World Cup with Simone Cerasuolo’s gold, the third inconvenient Ranist between the emperor Nicolò Martinenghi and the emerging Ludovico Viberti, and a side dish of four silver medals and two bronze. It will also be a booty to which, realistically, three -four podiums are missing – and for sure at least one higher step, that of Thomas Ceccon and/or that of Martinenghi himself. But it is always fat that colas, if we think about what Italy was before entering the twenty -first century and the confirmation of the vitality of a movement that hit 25 finals – never so many – and that does not suffer the generational change.
