Three new swimmers punched their tickets to the 2022 Budapest World Championships on Sunday in Riccione: backstroke specialists Silvia Scalia and Thomas Ceccon, as well as Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medalist Nicolo Martinenghi.
Though all three swimmers were faster than both the Italian Swimming Federation’s and FINA’s qualifying standards, each performance is also dominant when stacked against the current world rankings. First, Nicolo Martinenghi elevates himself to 2nd in the world in the 100 breaststroke, falling just shy of Arno Kamminga but slipping just past World Record holder Adam Peaty.

Anyone knows why Lorenzo Galossi is not Qualified for Worlds by getting 2nd in the 400?
He didn’t get the qualifying cut
Does Italy use stricter qualifying cuts than the FINA ones?
Nevermind, the cuts are listed individually in other articles but is there a full list anywhere?
