Ceccon snatches the Meran record from Detti – Letrari wins again

To Gabriele Detti's great opening victory in the 400 m freestyle on Friday The Cool Swim Meeting Meran also met expectations on the second day in great heat and temperatures of up to 35 degrees.

Thomas Ceccon has once again proven that he is already in form. On Saturday he won the 200 m freestyle in 1.48,95:2017 minutes, snatching the meeting record from none other than Gabriele Detti, which the world champion had held since 1.49,27 with 200:100 minutes. Detti was no longer in action today, just an interested spectator in the VIP grandstand of the Merano Lido. “I haven't swum the 20m freestyle for a long time. This is really a good time. I have to say that I also trained more freestyle this season, with a view to the XNUMX meters and the relay in Tokyo,” said Ceccon happily. At the European Championships in Budapest in May, the XNUMX-year-old won three bronze medals with Italy in the relay.

Laura Letrari was also at the top of the podium in the 50 m backstroke after her three victories on Friday (50 m backstroke, 200 m freestyle and skin race). In 2.19,31:100 minutes she missed her national record, which was only five weeks old, by two tenths of a second. At the end of the day she suffered her first defeat of the weekend in the 100 m freestyle. Alice Mizzau was faster in the 56,22 m freestyle in 56,90 seconds. Letrari finished second in 200. For Mizzau it was the second win of Saturday. At the start, Giorgia Biondani (2.01,23:2.04,91) had already won the XNUMX m freestyle in XNUMX:XNUMX minutes.

Nevertheless, Letrari was satisfied with the first two days in Meran: “Today I won the 200 m backstroke and came second in the 100 m freestyle. The standard is high here and I was a bit tired from the many races on Friday, especially the skin race. But that's fine. It's a very good training here and tomorrow I still have the 100 m backstroke on the program."

Alice Mizzau left Laura Letrari behind in the 100 m freestyle.

Letrari narrowly missed the national record in the 200 m backstroke, but a historic mark in South Tyrolean swimming fell. Laura Dema from SSV Bruneck took second place behind Letrari in 2.22,28:18 minutes, setting a new national record in the under 1990 and junior age groups. Silvia Piccoli from Bolzano Nuoto had held the old mark since 2.22,52 in XNUMX:XNUMX.

The other two meeting records on Saturday were held by Stefano Razeto and Giulio Ciavarella. When he won the 35 m Delfin in 50 seconds, the 24,74-year-old from Germany was three hundredths below Andrea Vergani's previous event record from 2017. Razeto won ahead of Lorenzo Glessi (24,88). Ciavarella won the 200 m backstroke in 2.05,88:2.06,52 (previous cool record set by Mattia Alessandro 2.09,97:XNUMX) ahead of Patrick Delladio from Bolzano (XNUMX:XNUMX).

In the 1500 m freestyle, first places went to Sofia Dandrea in 17.06,61 and to Edoardo Filippo Valente, who won the exciting men's duel in the last meter in 16.15,12 ahead of Loris Bianchi (16.15,72).
