But anyone watching the final of the 200-meter medley relay at the World Short Course Championships in Melbourne could see the defining moment for Italy during its gold-medal assault.<\/p>\n<p>As the Italians clocked a world-record performance of 1:29.72, the effort of <strong>Matteo Rivolta<\/strong> was nothing less than phenomenal. Producing a split of 21.60 for the butterfly leg, Rivolta powered his nation into a commanding lead that would not be relinquished. Italy&#8217;s effort broke its own world record, which stood at 1:30.14 from last year. The United States earned the silver medal in 1:30.37, with Australia claiming bronze in 1:30.81.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/results\/2022-world-short-course-championships-day-5-day-5\/international-elite\/2022\/December\/17?rtn=%2Fresults%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Day 5 Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2022\/16th-fina-world-swimming-championships-25m-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Live Results<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After <strong>Lorenzo Mora<\/strong> opened with a strong backstroke split of 22.61, which positioned Italy in second place, <strong>Nicolo Martinenghi<\/strong> moved his squad into the lead with a breaststroke mark of 24.95. At that point, Rivolta took charge, turning a tight race with Team USA into a runaway triumph. Rivolta&#8217;s butterfly leg was the fastest in the field by .12, and most importantly, was considerably quicker than the 22.13 of American <strong>Shaine Casas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>As <strong>Leonardo DePlano<\/strong> entered the water for the freestyle anchor, Italy was well ahead of world-record pace, and enjoyed a victory lap of sorts. DePlano closed in 20.52 to give Italy its second relay crown of the meet.
