The 2019 Italian Championships concluded, with 21 swimmers being named to the line-up for Gwangju. The youngest athlete is 14-year-old Benedetta Pilato, who took the women’s 50m breaststroke silver in a new Italian Junior Record-setting time of 30.61.
Gabriele Detti‘s 3:43.36 winning time in the men’s 400m free equaled his won Italian National Record, while youngster Federico Burdisso earned 200m fly gold in a new Italian National Record of 1:54.64.
Margherita Panziera also scored a new Italian Record, clocking a monster 58.92 as lead-off on her club team’s medley relay, but nailed a 200m back NR-setting mark of 2:05.72 as well, a time that would have won the gold medal in Rio.
Veteran Fabio Scozzoli made the grade, as did Simona Quadarella, the 20-year-old who took triple gold in Glasgow last year.
Note that all relays have qualified save for the women’s 4x100m freestyle relay.
