Detti and Paltrinieri win in Meran - Letrari beats Cusinato

Almost as expected, Detti won the race on his favorite route in a very good time of 3.47,93:3,47 minutes. The Italian record holder and European champion on this course was satisfied: “I wanted to swim a 3.48 or a 3.54,06. I struggled more than expected, but we still trained hard on Friday. Meran is really a good test.” Detti relegated his training partner Jan Micka from the Czech Republic (3.55,34:400) to second place. Paltrinieri had to settle for third place in 400:4.29,07. “I find it a little more difficult over 4.31,16 m, but that is a time that I can swim with full training. That's okay," said Paltrinieri, who secured victory in the XNUMX m individual medley and, after catching up in the finish in XNUMX:XNUMX, caught the long leader Lorenzo Glessi (XNUMX:XNUMX).

In the afternoon, Detti also swam the 100 m Delfin, which was unusual for him, and he did very well in the exciting race, finishing fourth in 56,28. Mattia Zuin (55,67) secured victory ahead of the multiple Austrian champion Heiko Gigler (56,07) and Lorenzo Glessi (56,17). On the third and final day, the climax will come in Merano on Sunday around 13 p.m. when Paltrinieri and Detti duel in the 1500 m freestyle. The South Tyrolean week for the two Italian swimming stars ends on Sunday afternoon with a visit to the Meran racecourse, where two races bear their name in their honor.

For South Tyrol's best swimmer Laura Letrari, the meeting in Meran ended with another success. After the three victories on Friday, the 28-year-old also won - somewhat unexpectedly - the 200 m individual medley. She defeated reigning Italian champion Ilaria Cusinato (2.14,82:2.15,14) in 4:50. “I would never have expected this time today. I didn't want to swim too fast, but I also didn't want to let up and at the last turn I saw that I could do it," said Letrari, who also finished with Team Italia with Lorenzo Glessi, Ilaria Cusinato and Andrea Vergani won the mixed relay over 1.50,90 x XNUMX medley in XNUMX.

There was a double victory for the multiple Austrian champion Heiko Gigler on his 21st birthday. He won the 100m freestyle in 51,10 and the 100m breaststroke in 1.04,77. Jasmine Alkhaldi from the Philippines had no competition in the 400 m freestyle in 4.29,04:200, as did Lorenzo Glessi in the 2.05,68 m individual medley (200:200). After losing the 2.14,82 m individual medley, Ilaria Cusinato won the 400 m individual medley (4.48,26) and XNUMX m individual medley (XNUMX). National coach Stefano Morini was also happy with these times at the edge of the pool.

The men's 200 m dolphin went to Czech Jan Micka in 2.04,42. The four remaining victories for South Tyrol should also be highlighted. Laura Letrari's sister Arianna won the 100 m freestyle in 58,79, Viviane Graif from SC Meran won the 100 m breaststroke in 1.14,45. And in the 200 m backstroke, Sonja Profaizer (also SCM) won in 2.27,32:2.11,01 and the talented Patrick Delladio from Bolzano Nuoto in 4:50. At the end of the second day in the Merano Lido, Team Italy won the mixed relay in the 1.39,65 x 8.45 m freestyle. Andrea Vergani, Erika Petrosino, Ilaria Cusinato and Mattia Zuin were unbeatable in 1500:XNUMX. Tomorrow from XNUMX a.m. the third and final day of the Cool Swim Meeting will take place with the XNUMX m freestyle as the conclusion and highlight.
