Jasmine Nocentini came into this season primarily known as a sprint freestyle specialist and is now coming out of it an NCAA champion in the 100 breast. The Italian national describes putting more focus into breaststroke and her swimming during her first season at Virginia.
So happy for Jasmine! What a journey! She may have never realized her full potential as a swimmer had she not gone to UVA.
I was thinking: that’s just what we needed, ANOTHER female breaststroker!
Joking of course. I am extremely happy for her and I love what she did. But I do hope she can excel in the sprint freestyle too, because we have absolutely nothing in that department besides Sara Curtis and we need good female freestyle sprinters badly.
Just curious, Does Jasmine compete internationally for Italy? I just can’t recall seeing her at any international meets. It seems to me that she would be a great asset for Italy at the Olympics
Yes she does, as of now though the only meet she competed in has been the european short course championships back in december where she won 4 medals.
She was part of the team at the European championships in Romania in 2023. She started swimming “seriously” only last year, so a late bloomer if you will. I hope to see her compete in Settecolli. I think she skipped Italian trials to concentrate on NCAA championships.
She swam for them at Euro SC in December. I believe that’s her first international cap.
She’s much better in SC than LCM, though I do expect some catchup (her best 100 breast in LCM is 1:13.57), and Italy has a loaded women’s breaststroke field.
Hopefully she competes at Sette Colli in June to potentially gain an Olympic place in the 4×1 Free.
Thank you for this nice interview! We Italians are looking forward to seeing her perform at the Settecolli Trophy, Jasmine could be the swimmer the Italian team really needs in Paris, both in the sprint freestyle and relays.
That was a really nice interview. It’s going to be really fun to see how Jasmine continues to progress, especially if she has achieved this much success after one year of real focus at practice. I have no affiliation with UVA but as a swim fan, it’s just amazing to see what Todd and those incredibly talented women are able to accomplish every year.
