competitive swimming is back also in Italy! :cheer:

 

from today through thrsday, in fact, the traditional Settecolli meet is on stage in Rome...

 

since this time the competition is also awarding the Italian National Summer titles, basically all the best Italian swimmers are at the start...from Federica Pellegrini to Simona Quadarella, from Gabriele Detti to super-Greg Paltrinieri (who's definitely the focal point of the event, after he changed coach and training center in the middle of the Spring, during the covid-19 imposed break)...

 

there are 3 sessions every day...in the morning only the slowest heats in each discipline are swam, meanwhile the top 16* swimmers on paper (based on the entry times) in each race will be on stage every evening at 7 p.m. CET

 

*top 10 only in the 800m and 1500m free races

 

being an international meet, however, means that also some good swimmers from other Countries are going to swim in Rome...

 

entry lists and clockings can be found here:

live coverage of the evening session (7 p.m. CET) will also be available on the sports channel of the Italian public TV, Raisport+ HD...

here's the stream (hoping that swimming is not geo-blocked):

Competitive swimming came back to Lithuania as well with a two day competition, unfortunately in a 25m course pool

 

Nothing too out of the ordinary happened, Rapšys and Šidlauskas look in a fairly decent form, Titenis, Teterevkova (won 5 different races though) and Margevičius still have room for improvement.

 

One of the youngsters, Daniil Pancerevas, 2004yob broke four records in the age group of sixteen yo's, 200m Freestyle (lost less than 6 seconds to Rapšys), 50 and 100m Butterfly and 100m medley.

 

A lot of girls born in the 2006-2007s are breaking all of our U14 swimming records as well.

 

Last year it was Silvija Statkevičius (2006) with 200m/400m Freestyle and 200m Backstroke in short course, 200m/400m/800m Freestyle records in long course.

 

Then there's Smiltė Plytnykaitė (2007) getting rid of all of Rūta Meilutytė's age group records in the Breaststroke (which will be extremely interesting to follow her this year and the next, since it was the time when Rūta smashed all of her times and reached a new level as a 14-16 year old. (I think she also holds some Medley records as well, another one of Rūta's specialties)

 

Erika Pasakinskaitė (2006) with a 200m Butterfly record and coming close to 50m,100m as well

 

And in today's competition it's Patricija Geriksonaitė (2007) with a 50m Backstroke record.

 

So yeah, a lot of young girls with potential, we've ruined that before a lot of times (Šeleikaitė won a lot of medals in juniors after Meilutytė's phase, but now she's swimming irrelevant times and swimming a lot of butterfly and freestyle instead of breaststroke, whilst Teterevkova also with a few medals in juniors will have to prove herself in the next few years if she has at least half of what Rūta had). Still, this could perhaps be something.

super-Greg Paltrinieri just swum a new European Record in the men's 1500m at the Settecolli meet in Rome in 14.33.10...:cheer:

 

yesterday he was really close in the men's 800m Free, when he swum 7.40.22 (less than a second above his own ER), but today he was just fantastic...a wonderful solo ride against the clock (the second placed swimmer was Domenico Acerenza in 14.49.98)...

 

more notable results in these 3 days in Rome: Gabriele Detti won the men's 400m Free in 3.43.73 ahead of Marco De Tullio in 3.44.94; Nicolò Martinenghi won the men's 100m Breast in 59.43 and the 50m Breast in 26.94; Benedetta Pilato, as already written, swum a new Junior World Record (and also Italian Senior Record) in the women's 50m Breast in 29.85; the Swiss Lisa Mamiè won the women's 100m Breast in 1.06.60; Federica Pellegrini just took a relaxing bath to win both the women's 100m and the 200m Free in 54.33 and 1.57.80 respectively; finally, 100m Free reigning European Champion Alessandro Miressi won both the men's 50m and 100m Free in 21.93 and 48.15 respectively...

I thought China weren't going to stage any international events until the end of the year. Can't see those 2 Asian events in September happening.

I think that stage in Singapore might happen, but with only Asian swimmers, but those in China, no way, it will not take place.

      Track Cycling UEC European Championships 2026

      The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.

      The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR

      That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By JockCartier · Posted

      I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird

      So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,

      The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.

      I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
