Lisa Mamie Sets Swiss 100 Breast Record Of 1:06.60; Detti Rattles Italian 400 Free Mark At Sette Colli<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisa Mamie<\/strong> set a new Swiss 100m breaststroke record of 1:06.60 and Gabriele Detti<\/strong> came within 0.50 of his Italian 400 free mark on the opening night of the Sette Colli Trophy<\/strong> in Rome.<\/p>\n

Mamie had set a national record of 1:07.11 in the semis at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju and on Tuesday she became the first Swiss woman to go sub-1:07.<\/p>\n

Detti set a new Sette Colli mark of 3:43.73, leading from start to finish to cut 0.48 from his own record set in 2016, weeks before he won bronze at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

There was also a new Belgian record of 4:09.91 for Valentine Dumont<\/strong> in third behind Giulia Salin <\/strong>and Anna Egorova <\/strong>over eight lengths.<\/p>\n

There were a number of fine performances in the iconic Foro Italico<\/a> which is hosting the three-day event which normally attracts a stellar international field given its annual June date, weeks before major championships.<\/p>\n
Martina Caramignoli<\/strong> won the women’s 1500 free in 15:56.06,\u00a0Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> took the men’s 50 free in 21.93 and Federico Burdisso<\/strong> led home the men’s 100 fly in 51.85.<\/p>\n
Melanie Henique <\/strong>sent down a sizzling 50 fly of 25.77 – a season’s best and second in the rankings behind only world-record holder Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong> in 2020, Silvia di Pietro<\/strong> took the 50 free in 24.91 and Silvia Scala<\/strong> went 28.04 in the 50 back.<\/p>\n
Mewen Tomac\u00a0<\/strong>set a French age group record in the 50 back as he dipped inside 25secs for the first time in 24.88, the 18-year-old leading home Simone Sabbioni<\/strong> (25.13) and Michele Lamberti<\/strong> (25.25).<\/p>\n
Mamie And Dumont Make History In The Eternal City; Detti Sizzles<\/h3>\n
The Foro Italico has borne witness to many fine breaststroke performances and Tuesday was no different as Mamie and Arianna Castiglioni<\/strong> produced a real duel.<\/p>\n
Mamie was 0.09 ahead at 50 and she maintained her lead throughout despite the Italian’s relentless probing, the Swiss setting the new record o.26secs ahead of Castiglioni whose time of 1:06.86 was just 0.50 off her own national mark.<\/p>\n
Martina Carraro<\/strong> was third in 1:07.08 with 15-year-old Benedetta Pilato<\/strong> just off the rostrum in 1:07.38.<\/p>\n

In the 400 free, Detti went out in 25.84 – the only sub 26 of the field – and was always in control.<\/p>\n
He was more than a second clear of Marco De Tullio<\/strong> at 200 and came home in the fastest time in 2020 – albeit that being completely disrupted and distorted by the coronavirus – a sliver away from his national record set at the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju.<\/p>\n
De Tullio was second in 3:44.94 with Domenico Acarenza<\/strong> third in 3:46.88.<\/p>\n
Salin led for all but 50m as she held off a fast-finishing Egorova by 0.08secs to take the women’s equivalent.<\/p>\n
Salin, of Nuoto Venezia, took the lead on the second 50 and was 1.14secs ahead of Egorova at halfway only for the Russian to come back with a final 100 of 61.01, falling short with Dumont third in the new national mark.<\/p>\n

Caramignoli traded the lead in the longest race with world champion Simona Quadarella before going ahead with 350 to go.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old, who won gold at the 2015 Summer Universiade and bronze at the 2014 Europeans, pulled away with each length and a final 50 of 30.77 saw her clock a time that would have been good enough for fifth at last year’s world titles in Gwangju.<\/p>\n
Quadarella touched in 16:03.69 with Salin taking her third medal of the night in 16:11.79.<\/p>\n

Miressi – who won gold in the 100 free at the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow – was the only man to go sub-22 in the dash.<\/p>\n
Leonardo Deplano was second (22.10) and Andrea Vergani third in 22.26.<\/p>\n
Di Pietro<\/strong> took gold in the women’s equivalent, reversing the one-two in the 50 fly in the opening event of the evening as she beat Henique 24.91 to the Frenchwoman’s 25.11.<\/p>\n
Federica Pellegrini<\/strong> was third in 25.18.<\/p>\n
Burdisso\u00a0came from second at halfway to take the 100 fly in 51.85 ahead of European champion Piero Codia<\/strong> (51.95) and 2012 European bronze medallist Matteo Rivolta\u00a0<\/strong>(51.97).<\/p>\n
There are exciting times ahead for Burdisso who at 18 is 12 years Codia’s junior and 10 years younger than Rivolta.<\/p>\n
Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> led all the way to take the 100br in 59.43 ahead of Fabio Scozzoli<\/strong> (1:00.31) and Federico Poggio<\/strong> (1:00.41).<\/p>\n
