Italy Running Away with the Latin Cup After Day Two

MAR DEL PLATA, Argentina, May 29. IF this were a boxing match, the referee would declare a technical knockout for the Italian team and award it the title.

However, it's swimming and with two of three days of this year's Latin Cup in the books, Italy is racing away with the women's, men's and overall titles.

After winning 11 combined golds opening night Friday, Italy racked up eight of 10 individual No. 1's this evening, with France and Spain taking the oher two wins. France also scored a pair of victories in the 400 sprint relays.

Highlighiting tonight's racing was a second gold for Italy's Alessandro Terin, this one in the 50 meter breaststroke, complementing his 100 meter win. As in the century, he was chased home by Brazil's Henrique Barbosa, a sophomore for Coach Nort Thornton's Cal Golden Bears. Terin clocked 28.45 to Barbosa's 28.82.

Perhaps the two most outstanding swims were done by Terin's teammates Vanni Magnoni (400 IM, pr 4:22.82) and Rudy Goldin (100 fly, pr 54.42). Both swims were meet records and Vanni's time ranks him among the Top 25 globally for the season. His old pr was 4:24.38 from last summer's European Junior Championships in Glasgow, where he earned the bronze.

Magnoni won the 200 IM yesterday in a meet-record 2:04.12, a bit mroe than a second off his pr of 2:03.05 from this March's Italian Nationals. The 18-year-old may not be quite ready to challenge teammates Massi Rosolino (defending Olympic 200 IM champ) or Alessio Boggiatto (World 200-400 IM champ at Fukuoka three years ago) but look for him probably to gain a spot on Italy's team to the next World Championships in Montreal 15 months from now.

Hundred fly champ Goldin was not among the world's Top 25 juniors last years (cut: 55.30) nor was he among the world's Top 100 (cut: 54.46) so his 54.42 is a very impressive performance.

On the women's side, Italy's Elena Gemo, bronze-medalist at the EJCs (pr 1:01.02) dropped her career-best in the 100m fly to 1:00.88 en route to the gold here. Countrywoman Alessia Filippi (17) went a pr and meet-record 2:14.22 to win the 200 back, a swim that would have ranked her fourth on the yearly junior global list in 2003. Teammate Sebastano Ranfagni (200 back, 2:02.80); Francesco Secchiarolli (200 free, 1:52.56) were the other Italian winners.

France's Marion Blary (50 breast, 33.16) and Spain's Alicia Casillas Ramos (800 free, 8:55.70) were the two other gold medalists.

In the 400 free relays, which France swept, Corale Balmy led off in a meet record 57.63. On the men's side, Antone Galavtine went 50.94 — another meet record — on his leadoff leg, just off his pr 50.50 that won him the bronze at Glasgow (EJCs).

The world "junior" 100 free record was 49.19 by America's Michael Phelps from last summer's U.S. Nationals in College Park. Phelps reduced that time to 49.05 at this winter's championships in Orlando. Unless he goes faster at the Janet Evans Invitational in the Olympic Trials pool in Long Beach a week from this weekend, the record will stay unchanged for awhile as Phelps turns 19 on June 30.
