Finally, records again

Ceccon triumphed in the 100m dolphin in 53,20 seconds. Letrari also won the 100 m backstroke in a new best time of 1.03,11:12 minutes. In total, the spectators in the Merano Lido were able to admire 4 new event records over the weekend, XNUMX of them on Sunday.

Ceccon showed his current top form in the 100 m Delfin and was also satisfied with his winning time: “That's one second above my best time (52,36 in December 2020 in Riccione), but it was one more race and I'm satisfied. At the Sette Colli next weekend I will swim the races that I also have on the program in Tokyo, freestyle and backstroke, and also do the 50 m dolphin.” Will we see him again in Merano next year? “I would love to come back,” says Ceccon. By the way, Marco De Tullio has held the old meeting record since 2019 at 55,02.

Laura Letrari also said goodbye to Merano with another strong performance. After a long and intense weekend, she was just a second off her best in the 100m backstroke in 1.03,11:1.04,63, obliterating Camilla Simicich's XNUMX:XNUMX. “I realize I'm tired, but I also swam a meet record today, I won five races. And the standard was high, because there were not only strong swimmers from the national team here and the South Tyroleans, but also many other strong teams.” Letrari also has the Sette Colli meeting in Rome on the program next weekend.

Meeting records three and four were set by Elisa Fiorini and Giulio Ciavarella on Sunday. Fiorini beat Julia Berger's old event record in the 200 m breaststroke by over 4 seconds (2.37,84:2.37,00). The local hero came second in 100:57,31. Giulio Ciavarella was over six tenths of a second faster in the 2019 m backstroke in 57,95 than Mattia Alessandro in 200 (2.22,70). Giacomo Casadei (San Marino) secured victory in the men's 100 m breaststroke in 1.02,57. The women's 200m dolphin went to Sofia Sartori (2.23,85). Aurora Zanin (2.06,45:800) and Andrea Savoca (8.57,73:8.21,61) celebrated first place in the 1500 m individual medley. The XNUMX m freestyle at the end of the event was won by Lucia Scartozzoni (XNUMX) and Edoardo Filippo Valente (XNUMX), who had already won the XNUMX m freestyle on Saturday. Another three relay national record on Sunday After SSV Bozen had already set two new national records in the 4 x 50 m medley on Saturday, there were even three new national records on Sunday in the 4 x 50 m freestyle, which is rarely swum in the long course. The boys Marco Zanin, Thomas Frasnelli, Stefan Bettin and Carmine Iannone from Bolzano Nuoto beat SSV Bozen's record in the general class, which was also set two years ago at the Cool Swim Meeting two years ago, by almost two tenths (1.39,21).

The boys from SSV Bozen were able to celebrate a youth national record, Luca Scampicchio, Tommaso Brida, Nicolas Mayr and Gabriel Pircher literally pulverized SSV Bozen's old record from 2016 of 1.44,21:1.41,52 and clocked in XNUMX:XNUMX minutes.

The SSV Bozen girls quartet also set a new record in the general class. Arianna Tava, Sabrina Weger, Samantha Ortler and Valentina Trapasso demolished the existing record from 1.47,97 in Merano by 2019 seconds (2,61:1.50,58) in XNUMX:XNUMX.
