That\u2019s .01 off the record set in 2018 by <strong>Pernille Blume.<\/strong> Sjostrom\u2019s countrywoman <strong>Michelle Coleman<\/strong> was second in 24.43.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna Hopkin<\/strong> of Great Britain finished third in 24.62, .03 up on <strong>Siobhan Haughey,<\/strong> who was looking to add to her 100 and 200 free titles in Rome. Italian <strong>Silvia Di<\/strong> <strong>Pietro<\/strong> tied for fifth, with three Dutch swimmers in the A final. (An oddity from the B final: Lithuanian sprint breaststroker <strong>Ruta Meilutyte<\/strong> went 25.19 to tie for 13th; she was within .15 of the national record she owns in that event.)<\/p>\n<p>Ceccon nearly downed his Italian record in the men\u2019s 50 butterfly, clocking in at 22.84 to win. He holds the national mark at 22.79 from the 2022 World Championships.<\/p>\n<p>His time bested <strong>Szebasztian Szabo<\/strong> of Hungary by a quarter second. Szabo went 23.13. <strong>Noe Ponti<\/strong> was third in 23.27, followed by <strong>Nyls Korstanje <\/strong>(23.36) and <strong>Ben Proud<\/strong> (23.45).<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland\u2019s <strong>Roman Mityukov<\/strong> led the way in the men\u2019s 200 backstroke at 1:56.56. That\u2019s within .34 of the national mark he set at Euros a year ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hidekazu Takehara<\/strong> of Japan finished second in 1:57.57. Britain\u2019s <strong>Brodie Williams<\/strong> and <strong>Cameron Brooker<\/strong> were the only two others to break two minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kylie Masse<\/strong> delivered a composed and controlled swim to win the women\u2019s 200 back. The Canadian was ahead at every wall in holding off <strong>Katie Shanahan<\/strong> to win in 2:08.91. Shanahan split 31.93 on the final 50, the only sub-33 split heading home, to grab second in 2:09.69. She passed <strong>Rio Shirai<\/strong> on that final lap, the Japanese swimmer third in 2:10.23.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boglarka Kapas<\/strong> won the women\u2019s 200 fly in 2:08.52, eight tenths clear of the field. She was ninth at the 100-meter mark and fifth entering the final 50 but roared home in 32.34 to rally past the field. <strong>Laura Stephens<\/strong> held on to third in 2:09.32, a tenth up on <strong>Dalma Sebestyen.<\/strong> Greece\u2019s <strong>Georgia Damasioti<\/strong> beat a crowd to finish fourth, while Italian <strong>Ilaria Cusinato,<\/strong> the leader after 150 meters, slipped to sixth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arno Kamminga<\/strong> booked another win in the 200 breast in a time of 2:10.57. He was up at every wall and steadily pulled away from <strong>Erik Persson, Luca Pizzini<\/strong> and <strong>Alessandro Fusco,<\/strong> all of whom clustered within three tenths in the 2:11s. Kamminga\u2019s time was well short of the meet record 2:07.63 he set in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tes Schouten<\/strong> continued a stellar spring by winning the 200 breast, a tenth slower than the Dutch record she authored earlier this month. Schouten\u2019s 2:21.84 was exactly two seconds ahead of runner-up <strong>Reona Aoki.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Schouten was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/tes-schouten-lowers-dutch-200-breaststroke-record-to-221-71-first-voyage-inside-222\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">re-written the Dutch recordboard this spring<\/a>, going 2:22.21 in April and 2:21.71 this month at the Dutch Championships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Francesca Fangio<\/strong> and <strong>Martina Carraro<\/strong> were third and fourth, respectively, for Italy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simona Quadarella <\/strong>got a win for the home country in a stirring battle with <strong>Valentine Dumont.<\/strong> Quadarella touched first in 4:05.85, using a split of 29.26 over the final 50 to unseat the Belgian, who led all the way to that point.<\/p>\n<p>Dumont got a pretty consolation prize, her time of 4:06.27 lowering her national record for the second time this year. Dumont, who turns 23 next week, had set the Belgian mark at Sette Colli in 2020 at 4:09.41, then went 4:08.81 at Mare Nostrum last month. She\u2019s now skipped the 4:07s entirely and nearly jumped out of the 4:06s, too.<\/p>\n<p>Hungary\u2019s <strong>Anja Kesely<\/strong> held close the entire way, going 4:06.41 for third. Italy\u2019s <strong>Antonietta Cesarano<\/strong> and Portugal\u2019s <strong>Francisca Martins<\/strong> also broke 4:10 (Martins set a national record of 4:08.77 last month at Mare Nostrum).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alberto Razzetti<\/strong> topped <strong>Duncan Scott<\/strong> in a battle in the men\u2019s 200 IM. Razzetti used a stellar breaststroke leg to just hold off Scott\u2019s charge in freestyle by .09 seconds, the Italian winning in 1:58.74. Scott was more than a second clear of the rest of the chasers in 1:58.83.<strong> Ron Polonsky<\/strong> of Israel was third in 2:00.04, .11 up on Scott\u2019s countryman <strong>Max Litchfield<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sara Franceschi<\/strong> continued Italy\u2019s hot streak by going 2:09.30 to win the women\u2019s 200 IM and lower her national record in the process. Her breaststroke split of 36.80, eight tenths better than anyone else, proved decisive. She edged <strong>Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> of the Netherlands by two tenths, in 2:09.51. Third place went to <strong>Katie Shanahan<\/strong> in 2:10.93, with her fellow Brit <strong>Abbie Wood<\/strong> fifth. In between was <strong>Anita Gastaldi.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Luca De<\/strong> <strong>Tullio<\/strong> capped the meet by winning the men\u2019s 1,500 free. The Italian chugged past Irishman <strong>Daniel Wiffen<\/strong> on the final 100, after Wiffen had gone in front around the 550-meter mark. De Tullio got under 15 minutes at 14:59.68. Wiffen grabbed silver in 15:02.51. Third was Frenchman <strong>Damien Joly<\/strong> in 15:03.61, ahead of <strong>Ivan Giovannoni.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Popovici Adds Sette Colli Record in 200 Free on Final Day David Popovici blasted the field in the men\u2019s 200 freestyle on the final day of the Sette Colli<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":518044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3,122074],"tags":[132676,75757,40554,132683,128885,17020,93504,26270,52048,32186,127269,61073,32196,120581,40417,34412,75876,71375,77910,66654,51385],"class_list":["post-530090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-europe","tag-2023-sette-colli-trophy","tag-alberto-razzetti","tag-arno-kamminga","tag-bolgarka-kapas","tag-david-popovici","tag-duncan-scott","tag-katie-shanahan","tag-kylie-masse","tag-marrit-steenbergen","tag-michelle-coleman","tag-roman-mityukov","tag-sara-franceschi","tag-sarah-sjostrom","tag-sette-colli","tag-simona-quadarella","tag-siobhan-haughey","tag-tes-schouten","tag-thomas-ceccon","tag-thomas-dean","tag-tom-dean","tag-valentine-dumont"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>David Popovici Adds Sette Colli Record in 200 Free on Final Day<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"David Popovici blasted the field in the men\u2019s 200 freestyle on the final day of the Sette Colli Trophy in Rome, setting a meet record.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/sarah-sjostrom-thomas-ceccon-nearly-down-records-on-final-day-of-sette-colli\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"David Popovici Adds Sette Colli Record in 200 Freestyle;
