No\u00e8 Ponti and Roman Mityukov\u00a0Among A Five-Strong Switzerland Team Set For Singapore<\/h4>\n

No\u00e8 Ponti<\/strong> and Roman Mityukov\u00a0<\/strong>are among a five-strong Switzerland team selected for the World Championships<\/strong> in Singapore.<\/p>\n

Joining the pair are Antonio Djakovic, Marius Toscan <\/strong>and Gian-Luca Gartmann\u00a0<\/strong>while Lisa Mami\u00e9<\/strong> – the four-time European breaststroke medallist – will be given the chance to qualify at the Sette Colli<\/strong> meet in Rome next month. Massimo Meloni<\/strong> and Cl\u00e9ment Bailly<\/strong> comprise the coaching team at worlds which run from 27 July to 3 August.<\/p>\n

Ponti sits atop the 100 fly rankings with his 50.27 rattler<\/a> at the Swiss Long-Course Championships<\/strong> last month, the second-fastest of his career and just 0.11 off his Swiss record of 50.16 set at the 2024 edition of the national championships. He also posted a 22.77 rankings-topper in the 50 fly and won the 100 free in 49.52.<\/p>\n

That followed a record-breaking campaign in the latter months of 2024. He lowered the 50 fly s\/c world record on four occasions, finishing with a 21.32 blast in Budapest that secured one of three golds at short-course worlds last December.\u00a0He went on to topple\u00a0Caeleb Dressel\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0global 100 fly standard in 47.71, going 0.07 inside\u00a0the record of 47.78 set by the nine-time Olympic champion in November 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n

Ponti is seeking his first long-course worlds medal, having finished fourth in the 200 at Budapest 2022, swimming in the lane adjacent to Kristof Milak<\/strong> as the Hungarian set the WR of 1:50.34 with the Swiss affected by Covid. He left Fukuoka a year later without any silverware after beginning his taper too early.<\/p>\n

There won’t be an appearance in the 200 fly with Ponti taking a break from the four-length event.<\/p>\n
