LUBLINO (POLONIA) (ITALPRESS) – Day of glory for blue colour holders to European swimming in a short bath, in Lublin. Seven medals won by the Italians in the last session of the Polish kermesse. Brilla Sara Curtis (CS Army/CS Roero), which is gold medal in the 50 backs. The Piedmontese swims the European record in 25”49 and beats the French Analia Pigree (25”96) and the Dutchman Maaike de Waard (25”97). Fourth the British Lauren Cox in 26”03. Bronze wheel for Francesco Lazzari (Sport Club 12 Ispra) in the 50 male backs. The lombardo swims two cents from the personal primacy (22′′76) and surrenders only to the Estonian Ralf Tribuntsov (22′′68) and to the Czech Miroslav Knedla (22′′′69). Fourth place for the other blue in this final, that is the Emilian, of the group VVF Fiamme Rosse, Lorenzo Mora (22′′83).
Glory for the blues then in the 50 male frogs. Simone Cerasuolo (GS Fiamme Oro/Imolanuoto) is a gold medal. 25”67 (Italian record) the time of the Romagna, which holds head of the Turkish Huseyin Emre Sakci, silver in 25”85. Bronze for Nicolò Martinenghi (CC Aniene) in 25”86, with a great return. “I’m happy for the medal, but I’m not satisfied with my race. In the heating I didn’t feel well, winning was important. If at the beginning of the year they told me that I would win World and European I would not have believed it,” said Cerasuolo, in RaiSport, after today’s race.
Curtis is always on the podium, silver medal, even in the 50 free style, with Silvia Di Pietro (CS Carabinieri/CC Aniene) fourth. “It was very fun. I am happy for gold in the back and for the European record. The 50 styles were a challenge and I am happy to have managed to achieve both my goals.” These are the words, to the RaiSport microphones, of Sara Curtis after gold in the 50 backs and silver in the 50 style to the Europeans in the short tub of Lublin.
In the 200 female butterfly then comes the unexpected bronze of Anita Gastaldi (Carabinieri and VO2 Nuoto Torino). Blue swims the Italian record of 2’04”07 and ends only behind Irish Ellen Walshe (gold in 2’03”24) and Danish Helena Rosendahl Bach (silver in 2’03”55). Eighth position for Paola Borrelli (Fiamme Gialle and In Sport Rane Rosse) in 2’08”36.
Simona Quadarella’s gold comes. The Roman, titular CC Aniene, dominates the 1,500 meters female free style and stops the chronometer at 15’29”93. Silver to German Maya Werner (15’47”00); Hungarian bronze Ajna Kesely (15’51”73).
