2022 ITALIAN SPRING CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Day 3 Finals of the 2022 Italian Spring Championships are here, and with them we will have the 200 IM and 100m Freestyle Finals, as well as the Men’s 800m Freestyle and Women’s 1500m Freestyle Timed Finals.

The men’s 100 freestyle preliminaries this morning set up an exciting race for tonight. Italian record holder Alessandro Miressi swam a 48.49, potentially setting himself up to go under 48 tonight with a good swim. Lorenzo Zazzeri and Fridge Manual were both also at 48 points this morning, so it will be great to take a quick look at the progress of the 4×100 freestyle relay from the World Championships in Italy.

Gregorio Paltrinieri and Gabrielle Detti are both set to race in the fastest heat of the men’s 800m freestyle tonight, which will open the final session. As two of the top 800 freestylers in the world right now, we could see some stunning early spring times from either swimmer.

Simona Quadarelle will compete in the women’s 1500m freestyle, which will be the last race of the session.
