Csaba Sós confirmed it after the ECh that the target for Hungary in Tokyo is still 1 gold and another 2 or 3 medals. Probably 1 gold + 1 medal from Milák and another 1 or 2 medals from Hosszú, Kapás and/or Kenderesi.

Settecolli meet in Rome (ITA)

 

last international event before the end of the qualification period...

 

on day 1, 2 new Italian National records highlighted the evening session...

 

Nicolò Martinenghi won the men's 100m breaststroke, improving to 58.29* (beating :NED Arno Kamminga, who swam 58.40, with a great comeback in the last 20m)...

*4th fastest specialists ever over the distance...

 

Arianna Castiglioni once again was better than Benedetta Pilato and Martina Carraro (the 2 selected swimmers for this race in the Italian squad) in the women's 100m Breaststroke...

she improved our National record to 1.05.67...Pilato swam 1.05.84 and Carraro 1.06.08...

 

among others, :HUN Kristof Milak won the men's 100m Fly in 50.89 (in this race we saw Santo Condorelli's comeback with a promising 51.62, just a few hundreds of a second better than Federico Burdisso and the other best Italian specialists); Sarah Sjostrom won the women's 50m Fly in 25.42, edging out :NED Ranomi Kromowidjojo (25.43); :BRA Bruno Fratus won the men's 50m Free in 21.71 (Alessandro Miressi was second in 21.97 and Santo Condorelli was 3rd in 22.00)...

 

Finally, Federica Pellegrini had a solo show in the women's 200m free (1.56.23 her time) and Simona Quadarella also had more or less a training session in the women's 1500m Free (15.48.81 for her)...

Settecolli meet in Rome (ITA)

 

best of day #2

 

said of Verraszto, for :HUN we also had Milak and Hosszu shining today...

 

Milak won the men's 200m Fly (1.53.18), Katinka won the women's 400m IM (4.36.31)...

 

the women's 100m Fly were won by :SWE Sarah Sjostrom, but in a very modest time (for her standard), 57 "high"...

 

the women's 100m Free, instead, went to :NED Femke Heemskerk (53.03) ahead of the same Sjostrom (53.47) and :NED Ranomi Kromowidjojo (53.55)...

4th was Federica Pellegrini (53.71)...

 

for what concerns the Italian swimmers, once again Benedetta Pilato (29.69) and Arianna Castiglioni (30.06, PB) were the best in the women's 50m Breaststroke, meanwhile the same race in the men's division went to Nicolò Martinenghi in 26.59...

 

finally, the 100m Free were won quite surprisingly by Thomas Ceccon (48.14, PB) ahead of Alessandro Miressi (48.16), while Santo Condorelli was 3rd in 48.49...

 

in the last event of the day, Simona Quadarella won the women's 800m Free and :BRA Guilherme Pereira Da Costa won the same race in the men's division, but both didn't swim any remarkable time...

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
