 Spring Nationals, Day #1

 

men's 50m Back: Michele Lamberti, 24.38 (new NR)

women's 800m Free: Simona Quadarella, 8.21.01

men's 400m Free: Davide Marchello, 3.47.76

women's 100m Breast: Lisa Angiolini, 1.06.33; Benedetta Pilato, 1.06.39

men's 50m Fly: Lorenzo Gargani, 23.31

women's 400m IM: Giada Alzetta, 4.41.00

men's 50m Free: Leonardo Deplano, 21.64

women's 4*100m Free Relay: best splits: Sara Curtis, 53.53 (1st leg), Emma Virginia Menicucci, 54.02 (internal leg)

 

the individual champions are qualified to the European Championships per rule, but not a single second ranked swimmer did better than the qualifying time set by the federation, they all have to try again at the Settecolli meet in June (or get the pass in other races here in Riccione this week)

 

so, day 1 is over and the championship is already very disappointing, especially because none of the youngsters expected to make a step forward in the hyerarchy of our swimming did show any sign of improvement

 Spring Nationals, Day #2

 

women's 50m Back: Sara Curtis, 27.33 (new NR)

 

men's 200m Fly: Alberto Razzetti, 1.54.99; Andrea Camozzi, 1.55.54; Matteo Cristopher Palmisani, 1.56.00; Frederico Burdisso, 1.56.07, Alessandro Ragaini, 1.56.61 (Top 2 officially qualified to the European Champs, also 3rd and 4th ranked swimmers went below the NF qualifying time, but per rule they're not in the team yet)

 

women's 100m Fly: Anita Gastaldi, 58.10

 

men's 100m Back: Michele Lamberti, 53.79

 

women's 200m Breast: Lisa Angiolini, 2.22.28 (new NR)

 

men's 100m Breast: Simone Cerasuolo, 58.82 (huge PB for the 50m world champion, Olympic Champion Nicolò Martinenghi and his main rival in the last 2 years, Ludovico Viberti, were absent because of injuries)

 

women's 200m Free: Bianca Nannucci, 1.57.82 (PB, but still a disappointing small improvement for the 2025 junior european champion); Anna Chiara Mascolo, 1.58.09 (qualifying time for the European Champs); young sensation Alessandra Mao was absent because of sickness (gastroenteritis) 

 

men's 4*200m Free Relay: best splits: Carlos D'Ambrosio, 1.44.37 (internal leg), no other guy below the 1.46 mark in the internal legs (and no swimmers below the 1.47 mark in the 1st leg), which is a tragedy in the relay's perspective

 

 

better than Yesterday, but still nothing really exciting (and still too many expected youngsters flopping or improving only by little margin instead of having a real breakthrough performance)
