Cool Swim Meeting: Big spectacle on the first day

Two years ago, Gabriele Detti began her quest to win the world championship in Meran and a few weeks later won gold in the 800 m freestyle at the World Championships in Budapest. Two years later, the 24-year-old from Livorno competed again at the Cool Swim Meeting in Merano and won the 400 m freestyle in a very good 3.49,02:3.51,39 minutes. “Time wasn’t that important for me today. This is a time that I can swim four to five times in a row during training. We also trained this morning. I'm on the right track for the World Cup. But I don't make any predictions. I want to swim well and have fun in South Korea,” said the Italian. Detti relegated his training colleagues Marco De Tullio (3.54,16:1500) and Mattia Zuin (XNUMX:XNUMX) to the places. On Saturday Detti will also be competing in the XNUMX m freestyle in Meran.

The spectators in the Merano Lido also saw an exciting race in the women's 400 m freestyle. With the new meeting record of 4.14,24:4.16,83 minutes (previously Erica Musso in 4.15,60:XNUMX), Martina Caramignoli prevailed ahead of her training partner Alisia Tettamanzi (XNUMX:XNUMX), who will take part in the Universiade in Naples for Italy. Two meeting records tumble As expected, there were also two new meeting records in the 100 m breaststroke. A week after the Sette Colli meeting in Rome, Martina Carraro won the women's race in 1.07,67 ahead of local hero Julia Berger from SC Meran (1.11,24) and was satisfied: "In Rome last week I swam a 1.07,0, I like it here in Meran. “I want to make it to the finals of the 50 and 100 m breaststroke at the World Championships in three weeks.” Her friend Fabio Scozzoli has the same goal. The eleven-time European champion won the 100 m breaststroke in 1.00,89:1.02,39 minutes, clearly ahead of Andrea Toniato (XNUMX:XNUMX) and was accordingly satisfied: “A good time, considering that I trained hard until Thursday.” Letrari has to settle for second place Laura Letrari

Giorgia Biondani and Federico Bocchia secured victory in the 50 m freestyle sprint. Biondani had the better finish in 25,63 seconds in the duel with Laura Letrari, who had to settle for second place in 25,98, but was satisfied with her performance a week after the disappointing performance in Rome. In the men's category, veteran Bocchia came out on top in 2, ahead of World Cup starter Manuel Frigo (22,19) and “Bomber” Marco Orsi (22,73). The 22,77 m dolphin went to Desy Zanco (200) from the Veneto team and Alush Telaku (2.19,26) from the Liguria national team.
