Italian record for the first time at the South Tyrol swim meeting

Responsible for this was Martina Carraro, who triumphed in the 100 m breaststroke in 1.04,68:15 minutes and beat her own Italian record from last year by five hundredths of a second. At the Short Course World Championships on December 2018, 1.04,73 in China, Carraro swam XNUMX:XNUMX.

“I really didn't expect this time because we're working a lot at the moment, but I'm really happy about this time,” said the victorious Carraro, who wants to play a leading role in the important competitions this season. Next week she will swim in Genoa, then at the ISL stage in London and at the beginning of December at the European Short Course Championships in Glasgow.

Of course the organizers of SSV Bozen were also happy. “An Italian record at our meeting is a real highlight. Nobody expected that, especially at this early point in the season. In total we saw four meeting records”.

However, Carraro missed Katie Meili's event record from 2014 (1.04,40).

Meeting records on Sunday The meeting records on Sunday were set by the Brazilian Guilherme Guido in the 50 m backstroke and the Italian Nicolò Martinenghi in the 100 m breaststroke, after Thomas Ceccon had already set event best times in the 50 m dolphin (23,05) and 100 m individual medley (52,79) on Saturday had.

Isabella Hindley most successful woman The most successful female competitor this year was Isabella Hindley, who had four wins and, after the 100m freestyle and 100m backstroke on Saturday, also won the 24m backstroke and 50m freestyle 50 hours later.

The double victory on the dolphin courses was secured by Elena Di Liddo, who was also unrivaled in the 100 m dolphin race in 57,93 on Sunday.

The last race of the weekend, the men's 50 m freestyle, was pure show.
