Cool Swim Meeting opened with 3 records

First up was Vice European Champion Lisa Angiolini, who won the 100 m breaststroke in 1.07,60:2019 minutes and was six hundredths of a second faster than Martina Carraro in 800. She collected 2022 euros for the most valuable record on Friday. “I am very satisfied because I wanted to swim this record,” said the European Championship runner-up in Rome 200. Razzetti lived up to his role as favorite in the 1.58,78 m dolphin. In 2,8:2.01,58 minutes, the European Championship bronze medalist shattered Giuseppe Perfetto's existing event record by 100 seconds (XNUMX:XNUMX) over this distance and received a check for XNUMX euros. “I wanted the event record and expected a similar time. The race shows that my preparation is going well.”

Italy's young star Anita Gastaldi achieved the third best meeting performance on the first day. The 20-year-old snatched the meeting record from Laura Letrari, which the Brixen native had held for two years at 28,99. Gastaldi hit in 28,60 seconds. There was 200 euros for this. “The time is okay, I'm preparing for the Sette Colli meeting. Let's see how things go in the 100 backstroke on Sunday. The feeling is good.”

At the beginning of the evening, Martina Rombaldoni won the 25,97 m freestyle in 22,71 and relay world champion Leonardo Deplano in 50 seconds, but missed the meeting record. Vice-European champion Federico Poggio also stayed above Fabio Scozzoli's target meeting record (100) with his clear victory in the 1.01,54 m breaststroke in 1.00,89:2.14,18 minutes. Giada Alzetta (200) secured first place in the women's 50m dolphin. Giulio Meniconi won the men's 26,78 m backstroke in 400. At the end there were victories in the 4.15,78 m freestyle for Sara Franceschi in 4.14,24, who just missed the meeting record of Martina Rita Caramignoli (3.57,33), and for Alessio Sartoretto (XNUMX).

Today and tomorrow (competition starts at 9.30 a.m., finals in the afternoon) the big star Thomas Ceccon will be seen in the Merano Lido. The world champion and world record holder in the 100m backstroke will complete no fewer than five races at the Cool Swim Meeting. Today he will compete in the 200 m freestyle, 50 m dolphin and 100 m freestyle and on Sunday he will compete in the 100 m backstroke and 100 m dolphin. The 22-year-old trained in Verona today and arrived in the Passer city in the evening.

Nicolò Martinenghi, the second reigning world champion who wanted to take part in Meran this year, had to cancel his planned start on Saturday in the 50 m breaststroke. He has to take a few days off due to a problem with his patellar tendon. Even his start next week at the Sette Colli meeting in Rome is not yet guaranteed.
