Sette Colli, Day 2: Michele Lamberti Matches Italian 50 Back Record; CRs For Sjostrom, Miressi & Quadarella<\/h4>\n

Michele Lamberti<\/strong> matched Thomas Ceccon’s<\/strong> Italian 50 back record in 24.40 while Sarah Sjostrom, Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> and Simona Quadarella<\/strong> all hit championship standards on day two of the Sette Colli<\/strong> in Rome.<\/p>\n

Ceccon set the national standard at the European Championships in 2022 with Lamberti tying that mark for gold with the former second in 24.55 for an Italian 1-2.<\/p>\n

Guillherme Basseto was third in 24.82.<\/p>\n

Sjostrom set her second championship record in as many days as she followed up her 24.73 50 fly with a new mark in the 100 free.<\/p>\n

Out in 25.35 – 0.04 behind race leader Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> – the Rio 2016 bronze medallist came past the Hong Kong swimmer with a 27.22 second 50.<\/p>\n

Sjostrom – whose 51.71 WR has stood since the 2017 worlds – touched in 52.57, 0.21 ahead of Tokyo silver medallist Haughey who clocked 52.78.<\/p>\n

The Swede – who will only contest the 50 free plus relays in Paris – also sliced 0.07 from Haughey’s championship mark of 52.64 set last year.<\/p>\n

Great Britain’s Anna Hopkin<\/strong> was third in 53.53.<\/p>\n

Also of note was Penny Oleksiak’s<\/strong> victory in the B final in 53.77, the 2016 joint Olympic champion alongside Simone Manuel<\/strong> finishing outside the 53.77 A cut.<\/p>\n

Miressi went 48.08 for a new 100 free CR after splitting 23.16\/24.92.<\/p>\n

The Italian took 0.02 from David Popovici’s<\/strong> 48.10 from the 2023 Sette Colli<\/strong> with the Romanian churning up the waters at the European Championships in Belgrade.<\/p>\n

Matt Richards<\/strong> – the 2023 world champion over 200 free – was second in 48.45 with Guillherme Santos<\/strong> taking third in 48.80.<\/p>\n

Quadarella set her second CR of the 2024 Sette Colli<\/strong>, a day after going 15:48.27 in the 1500 free.<\/p>\n

The Olympic bronze medallist had a real tussle with Isabel Gose<\/strong>, who had finished second in the longest race in the pool behind the Italian.<\/p>\n

However, the German was on top for much of the 800 and had a narrow 0.02 lead into the final turn only for Quadarella to unearth a 29.30 last 50 to touch in 8:18.95 to 8:19.20.<\/p>\n

As with the 1500, Leonie Martens<\/strong> was third on Saturday, clocking 8:27.92.<\/p>\n

Another Martens sibling was on the podium in the men’s race as Lukas<\/strong> won the 7:43.52 to go fifth in the 2024 rankings.<\/p>\n

Luca de Tullio<\/strong> was second in 7:45.80 in a strong field that featured world champion Daniel Wiffen<\/strong> (7:46.83) and Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> (7:48.07)\u00a0 in third and fourth respectively.<\/p>\n

Ellen Walshe<\/strong> set an Irish record of 4:37.18 in the women’s IM en-route to heading a quality field at the Sette Colli, five weeks before the programme begins at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

The 2021 world short-course silver medallist had posted a national standard of 4:37.94 three weeks ago at the Irish Open and Olympic Trials before lowering it by 00.76 at the Foro Italico.<\/p>\n

Sara Franceschi<\/strong> (4:38.77) and Freya Colbert<\/strong> (4:40.15) joined Walshe on the podium.<\/p>\n

Daiya Seto<\/strong> dominated throughout to win the men’s long medley in 4:09.68, elevating the Rio 2016 bronze medallist fifth in the 2024 rankings.<\/p>\n

It was a season’s best for the Japanese swimmer, outstripping the 4:10.44 he posted at the Australian Championships in April.<\/p>\n

Max Litchfield<\/strong> came from fourth at the 300 to move to second in 4:14.51 with Charlie Hutchison<\/strong> third in 4:14.90.<\/p>\n

Giacomo Carini<\/strong> was ahead from start to finish as he won the men’s 200 fly in 1:54.34, just 0.06 off Federico Burdisso’s<\/strong> Italian record.<\/p>\n

Tokyo bronze medallist Burdisso was second in 1:55.20 with Alessandro Ragaini<\/strong> third in 1:56.28.<\/p>\n

Louise Hansson<\/strong> led throughout to win the 100 fly in 57.34, holding off the challenge over the second 50 of Rikako Ikee<\/strong> with the Japanese clocking 57.36.<\/p>\n
