After the historic gold of 100, the blue is confirmed as the fastest (26 ”68), tonight the semifinals. Detti and Paltrinieri in the final of the 800 with the 3rd and 4th time
From gold in the 100 to the first half in the 50 breaststroke: Nicolò Martinenghi goes at full speed at the World Championships in Budapest. The runner-up of the wonders flies in the semifinals of the 50 with the best time of the heats in 26 “68: his Italian record is 26” 39, at “risk” tonight. Following the new world champion of 100 is the American Michael Andrew in 26 “71, third the Brazilian Gomes jr in 26” 75 and ten cents behind Nic Fnk, bronze on Sunday. The rookie Simone Cerasuolo is also excellent with the eighth time in 27 ”17 (personal 26” 85). For Martinenghi an important confirmation: last night he was celebrated by all his teammates, the water polo players (who will debut tonight against Canada) and the blue delegation but the World Cup is still in full swing and the 22-year-old from Varese is still hungry for victories. The world champion double would be something colossal.
Said and Greg

The rescue of Detti, the flash of Paltrinieri. The former Azzurri twins from Ostia clocked the third and fourth time of the 800: Gregorio, defending champion, swims alongside the Olympic champion Bobby Finke, who mocked him in Tokyo in the last meters. The two mark the lane side by side: with Gregorio making a flash in the last ten meters and touching the front in 7’46 “24 while the American scores 7’46” 36. Eight cents: a nothing. Gabriele Detti swims in the fastest battery with the Ukrainian Misha Romanchuk (7’44 “75) and the German Florian Wellbrock: he goes to 400 in 3’52” 82 and controls the two rivals, defends the position and we will see tomorrow if his second part will still make the difference as when he won world gold in 2017 in this same tank.
Without faith

No Italy in the preliminary rounds of the 200 sl women after the retirement of the outgoing two world champion Federica Pellegrini, who in the light of the results would certainly have excelled in a race in which few traces remain among the great ones who beat. Also absent Siobhan Haughey, recovering from physical problems. So the fastest is the Chinese Yan Junxuan in 1’56 “58. A little of Pellegrini is in the role of Matteo Giunta, coach of Giacomo Carini (and of Scalia), who in the battery in the 200 butterfly hits the semifinal with the 11th time in 1’56 “38, while the other blue Alberto Razzetti carves out the role of the Olympic medalist Federico Burdisso: Razzo, trained in Livorno by Stefano Franceschi, is 5th after winning his battery in 1’55 ”71, personal improvement by 8 cents. It is a sold out race being the champion (Olympic and world) and world record holder Kristof Milak, idol of the house. Milak leads in 1’54 “10 in front of Noè Ponti, trained in Tenero by Massimo Meloni, second in 1’5” 75, third is the Japanese Honda while between the two Americans, Julian is fourth in 1’55 “04 and precedes the Genoese short course world champion, and Luca Urlando is seventh in 1’55 ”94.
Waiting for the medals

Meanwhile, the final of the mixed Duo with Giorgio Minisini and Lucrezia Ruggiero, already in the lead after the preliminary rounds, is scheduled for 2pm: Boy Giorgio was already world champion in 2017 with Manila Flamini. In the lane from 6 pm (on Rai 2), awaiting the final of the 1500 sl with Simona Quadarella (second qualifying time), of the 100 backstrokes with Thomas Ceccon (second qualifying time), of the 100 breaststroke women with Benedetta Pilato (second time of qualification). Italy is already with a gold from Martinenghi and a bronze with the 4×100 sl men.
