2023 ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIPS

With the conclusion of the 2023 Italian Championships, we have our list of swimmers who have initially hit World Championships qualifying times for this summer’s main event in Fukuoka, Japan.

As a reminder, Italian athletes can still clock qualifying efforts at the Sette Colli Trophy in June, so this roster is far from complete.

At the 2022 edition of the World Championships, Italy placed 3rd in the swimming medal table, bringing home 9 total medals from Budapest. Individual gold medalists included Gregorio Paltrinieri in the 1500m free, Thomas Ceccon in the 100m back, Nicolo Martinenghi in the 100m breast and Benedetta Pilato in the 100m breast.

The Italian men’s medley relay also topped the podium.

I’ve always wanted to see Quadarella at the worlds level in the 400 Free.
