Swimming, Europeans in short tank: Italy gold and world record in the 4X50 mixed free style

LUBLINO (POLONIA) (ITALPRESS) – Another gold relay. The third day of the European swimming in the short tub of Lublin closes with the success of the 4x50m mixed free style: Deplano, Zazzeri, Di Pietro and Curtis closed in 1:27.26, also scoring the world record.

“It was awesome, incredible, I believed it to the end even though I made a terrible exit, but I’m glad,” said Rai Sport Sara Curtis’ microphones after the incredible result. “It was a dream, we hoped for it, it was an emotion,” added Silvia Di Pietro. Meet Leonardo Deplano: “It doesn’t happen every day, we finally made it.” Lorenzo Zazzeri: “We wanted it, but it looked like a dream too big, makes us proud and proud.”.

Thomas Ceccon and Lorenzo Mora have instead qualified for the final of the 100 meters back men, both blues have bowed in the time of 50.07 (fourth time). “I’m finding slippery grip – said Ceccon –, but surely I have to fix this. Speaking of the final is only one who can go strong, that is Morgan. Tomorrow I go to win, beyond the time, I made a good pass, I gave up a little, but that’s all right.”.

No final in the 200 rana men for Nicolò Martinenghi, fifth in his semi-final and ninth in total times: “I certainly couldn’t say the opposite – said Rai Sport’s microphones – I was very wrong, but I’m glad, I did the race as I wanted to do it, I missed a little sprint.” Seventh place for Gabriele Mancini with 2:04.30, the blue therefore qualifies for the final.

In the 100 mixed women Marrit Steenbergen won the gold medal at 56.26. The swimmer of the Netherlands also dominated in the 200m free style. In the 100 males it was Noe Ponti, in the time of 50.52, to conquer the continental title. Finally, in the 1500 free men style it was Daniel Wiffen to impose himself with the time of 14:13.96.
