no impressive results at the Città di Milano meet, day #1 yesterday...

 

only major international competitors were Laszlo Cseh and Katinka Hosszu...the first one was totally out of shape (1.51.80 over 200m freestyle), Katinka just had a training-alike race over the 200m fly (but still she managed to win it in 2.09.09)...

 

among the Italian swimmers, instead, the only decent results came from guess who? Federica Pellegrini (she won the women's 200m free in 1.57.19), Simona Quadarella (1st over the women's 1500m free in 16.06) and surprisingly also from Francesca Fangio, who swam a good (for the Italian standard) 2.25 over the women's 200m breaststroke...

 

Paltrinieri and Detti, instead were stopped by flu-alike symptoms and didn't take part in any race...

the US Pro Series are now on stage...

this week the tour is in Des Moines, Iowa...

and the 1500m free were the top event from last night...

well, in the women's race :CHN Wang Jianjiahe destroyed her PB by more than 7 seconds, swimming a very good 15.46.x (at the moment, that's the second clocking of the season, just a second behind Ledecky)...

meanwhile the men's race were by far less impressive in terms of performance, but a lot more exciting to watch, as :DEN Anton Ipsen edged out :USA Jordan Wilimovsky by a few hundreds of a second (15.05.x for both swimmers the final time)...

Helsinki Swim Meet (1st & 2nd April 2019)...

 

best results from day #2...

 

:SWE Sarah Sjostrom didn't start in any race today, so the general level of the competition was definitely lower than yesterday...

meanwhile, in the 1st day of the Italian National Championships (World Champs qualifiers) we had some very good results (and some disappointing ones)...

 

men's 50m Back: Thomas Ceccon won the title, but the clocking of 25.20, despite being his PB and the new Italian Junior Record, is far from the required target (24.7)...however, I'm sure he's gonna do a lot better (and earn his spot in the world champs team) over the double distance...

 

women's 800m free: the 1st and probably biggest disappointment of the day...Simona Quadarella, triple European champion last year in Glasgow, just did her minimal homework and won the title with a very modest 8.25.55 (still, below the rquired target of 8.26, so, at least she did get the world pass also by rule -she would be in the team anyway, thanks to last year's medals)...quite disappointing also the youngster Giulia Salin (european junior medallist), who was only 3rd and not even close to the world qualifying time...

 

men's 400m free: the first fireworks session of the day...Gabriele Detti came back from his shoulder injury and won the race in 3.43.36 (equalling his own National Record and swimming the leading time of the 2019 season so far...faster than Sun Yang's clocking last week in China)...and second ranked was the promising youngster Marco De Tullio (YOG medallist last year), improving himself to a good 3.46.89, which is also a world champs pass (the required target is 3.46.9)...finally, 3 more guys swam under 3.50 (Acerenza 3.47, Ciampi 3.48 and Zuin 3.49) to show some good depth in this event in Italy...

 

women's 100m breaststroke: the most exciting race of the day...Martina Carraro just edged out Arianna Castiglioni once again (1.07.04 vs 1.07.11), but Castiglioni swam faster this morning (1.06.92) in the heats and in any case the NT coaching staff expected a lot more from them (small consolation, in the final -the only race that counts- they both swam exactly the required time to fly to Korea next summer, 1.07.1)...

 

men's 200m butterfly: Federico Burdisso showed the sign of his growth...still 17 (and in Italy, that's a very young sporting age, especially for a male swimmer), he destroyed his PB by more than 1.5 seconds and swam the new National Record in 1.54.64 (with a 53.6 split at 100m)...and of course this is also a world champs official pass...

 

women's 400m individual medley: another disappointing race, where Ilaria Cusinato left herself with the tank empty too early...she won the race in 4.37.45 and she missed out on the official pass for Gwangju by a few hundreds (the required target is 4.37.3)...still, she's not gonna have any problem to make the team in any case by virtue of her European medals from last year, but definitely this is not the best way to start the worlds campaign...

 

men's 50m free: last year's newcomer and European Bronze medallist Andrea Vergani easily dominated the field..he swam an impressive 21.53 and got both the title and the official pass for the worlds later this summer...Luca Dotto was second in 21.98 (outside the required target for the world champs, which is 21.7), meanwhile our "new" man formerly from Canada, Santo Condorelli, was 4th in 22.15 and the 100m free european champion Alessandro Miressi was 6th in 22.23...7 guys at 22.24 or better, however, make this race one of the most competitive of the entire Italian champs for sure...

Italian Nationals, Day 2 recap

 

women's 50m backstroke: Silvia Scalia won the title and improved the National record twice in a day (27.91 in the morning heats, 27.89 in the final), but still this isn't enough to grant her an official pass for the world champs (required target, 27.7)...

all the youngsters getting the following placements were well above the 28 secs mark, so, nothing special...

 

men's 50m butterfly: Piero Codia and Santo Condorelli shared the gold medal with a modest 23.76, well outside the required target for the world champs pass (23.2)...Codia actually swam faster in the morning heats (23.58)...

 

women's 100m fly: first disappointing race of the day...Elena Di Liddo won the race, but was slower than this morning (57.61 vs 57.80)...good for her that she got at least the official pass for the world champs...Ilaria Bianchi was second in 58.33, well outside the required target (57.8)...probably she's gonna make the team in any case because of her past results, but today's performance it's not promising at all...

 

men's 100 backstroke: Thomas Ceccon won the race, swam the new NJR (53.60) and got his official pass for Gwangju...behind him, no other guy couldn't swim faster than 54.4...

 

women's 200m breaststroke: Martina Carraro upset the favourite Francesca Fangio in one of her rare outings over this distance, but her clocking (2.25.96) is far away from being competitive at international level...

 

men's 100m breaststroke: the unexpected becoming reality...Fabio Scozzoli was not supposed to be in his best shape (and maybe also going towards the descending curve of his long and successful career), but tonight he just did a masterpiece, showing an amazing mental strenght and upset the big favourite, Niccolò Martinenghi, who was supposed to finally break the 59 secs wall, after his "easy" morning heat...but nothing went according to the original plan...and Scozzoli stamped a 59.52 clocking he hadn't been able to swim for quite a while and won another Italian title. Martinenghi just couldn't react to Scozzoli's pressure and ended up in second place in 59.92, slower than this morning and outside the required target for the world champs (59.5)...

2 more guys at 60.2 and 60.3 made this race one of the best of the championships so far...

 

women's 200m free: queen Federica (Pellegrini) didn't need any particular effort to win another Italian title over her favourite race...she even tried to swim a fast time all alone, but she was too slow in the final 50m, thus stopping the clock "only" at 1.56.60...behind her, Simona Quadarella was second in 1.58.83, Stefania Pirozzi 3rd in 1.59.05 and Linda Caponi 4th in 1.59.07, which means that the women's 4*200m free relay team is qualified for the world champs, but frankly I don't know what they can do, considering the performances of the girls behind Pellegrini...

 

p.s. other notable result, Gabriele Detti swam 1.45.75 in the second leg of the men's club 4*200m free relay...

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
