Genoa – Swimming starts again. After Tokyo 2021 opens a season full of events. From tomorrow to November 8th European Short Course Championships in Kazan. From 26 to 21 December World Championships in short course in Doha. From 22 to 29 May the World Championships in long distance in Fukuoka and the grand finals with the European Championships from 11 to 17 August in Rome 2022. Without a moment’s respite.
39 blues in the race (17 girls and 22 boys) on the hunt for important results. First Europeans without Federica Pellegrini, soon married to Matteo Giunta. Important absences from the Olympic medalist Federico Burdisso, Gabriele Detti and Ilaria Cusinato. But the Azzurri want to do well above all with Gregorio Paltrinieri, Simona Quadarella, Alessandro Miressi, Thomas Ceccon and Benedetta Pilato (in search of the world record in the 50 breaststroke).
The Genoese also want to get on the podium Martina Carraro and Alberto Razzetti, both of them already in the water tomorrow morning at 8 (10 in Kazan). Martina will have to give her best already in the 100 breaststroke heats. The regulation stipulates that only two athletes per nation qualify for the semifinals. Italy ranks four final athletes, Carraro, Pilato, Arianna Castiglioni and Francesca Fangio. The difference will make the tenths if not the cents. Alberto will start the European Championships more calmly with the 100 butterfly, certainly not the favorite race of the program (he will bet everything on 200 and 400 medley and 200 butterfly). Hope of podium for Italua also in the men’s 400 freestyle with Megli, Ciampi and De Tullio.
