Signing time started for the :ESP Spanish Federation.

 

Today, our parliament confirmed express nationality to :CUB Yulemnis Aguilar, currently #1 in the women's javelin toplist in 2024. She doesnt represent Cuba since like 5 years ago so there would be no problem, she will be in Paris.

 

 

Also, :ETH Likina Amebaw is waiting for the nationality. She has the Olympic Standar in women's 10.000metres and wants to go to Paris. Although her has a different route. She's married to an Spaniard apparently, so no need for the Parliament to get involved. But adminstrations are slow so if "organic" nationality doesn't arrive at time I count with the Goverment giving her an special excempt for the nationality as they did for Yulemnis.

 

 

And at last :BDI Rodrigue Kwizera is reportedly starting negotiations paperwork to ask for the nationality, He refused to go with his home country to the latest World Cross Country Championships. He was at Budapest in 2023 so at least until 2026 couldn't compete for the country. So there's no hurry with him.

 

 

 

 

Would there be any more before Paris or would they stop at 5 between the last 2 years? Who knows....

Twins Eugene and Jamie Omalla have completed their switch from :UGA Uganda to :NED The Netherlands and can compete in Paris if they're selected as part of the Dutch team. Especially Eugene can be a big addition for the relay, he broke the African indoor record earlier this year over 400m.

 

No shenanigans here by the way: born in the Netherlands (country of their mom), lived here for 7 years and then moved to Uganda (country of their dad), now they compete for Kansas State in the US.

      Italy finally has a proper freestyle sprinter.  No disrespect to Pellegrini but she was more of a mid distance freestyler stretching down to the 100.

      Spring Nationals, Day #3   Sara Curtis MVP of day 3 of the Italian Spring Nationals!    after improving her PB in the women's 100m freestyle already in the morning heats, in the afternoon final she destroyed not only her previous limit, but also the 9-year old National Record, previously held by our swimming icon Federica Pellegrini 53.01 is the new record   in the same race, Emma Virginia Menicucci was 2nd in 54.14 (big new PB for her) and Chiara Tarantino was 3rd in 54.28   given that Tarantino has a sub-54 PB and also Sofia Morini (here completely out of shape) is a sub-54 swimmer at her best, now the Italian women's 4*100m free relay begins to look like a good one (sure, USA and AUS are out of reach, but the rest of the world is not so far away anymore   more on Today's Finals:   men's 800m Free: 1.Davide Marchello, 7.53.32   women's 200m IM: 1.Sara Franceschi, 2.10.95; 2.Anita Gastaldi, 2.10.97 (PB), both World qualifying times   men's 200m IM: 1.Alberto Razzetti, 1.58.05 (again definitely below the expectations, something's not good with him this week ); 2.Christian Mantegazza, 1.58.95 (big PB, class of 2005)   men's 100m Free: 1.Manuel Frigo, 48.34; 2.Carlos D'Ambrosio, 48.60 (very disappointed with him...he should have swum 1 second faster); 3.Lorenzo Zazzeri, 48.62; 4.Alessandro Miressi, 48.74  even if we can add Ceccon and maybe Deplano (if he convince himself he can swim fast also the 100m and not only the 50m), the 4*100m relay's perspective is really depressing    women's 1500m Free: 1.Simona Quadarella, 16.03.77   in the club relays (the 4*100m medley relays), among the women, Sara Curtis swam "only" 1.01 in the backstroke leg, Bottazzo had a good 1.05.40 in the breastroke leg, confirming his win over the individual distance wasn't a fluke and Tarantino (53.68) and Menicucci (54.11) confirmed the value of their clockings from the individual race also with the flying start among the men, Bacico swam even better than the individual race winning effort (53.42) in the backstroke leg, Martinenghi edged out Viberti in the breastroke leg (58.70 to 58.99), Burdisso swam a decent 50.8 in the fly leg and finally Manuel Frigo confirmed himself the best 100m free specialist of the moment with an impressive 47.2 stint
