Swimming World Championships: Fangio in the semifinal in the 200 breaststroke

(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 22 – The blue Francesca Fangio qualified for the first semifinal of her career, in the 200 breaststroke, at the World Swimming Championships underway in Budapest. Nothing to do for two other rookies: Chiara Tarantino in the 100 sl and Michele Lamberti in the 200 backstroke did not manage to overcome the heats, both setting the 21st time. In the afternoon finals, Alessandro Miressi will be in the pool in the 100 freestyle. The 23-year-old from Piedmont will try to find the shape of the best days, which allowed him to win the Europeans and the World Championships in short course.

Fangio passed the world championship round for the first time in 2’25 “70, seventh overall time.” I tried to stay attached to the British Molly Renshaw, because I know she has the right pace; I was hoping to swim a bit shorter time, but I’m still satisfied. In the semifinals you have to push and I will have to get closer to my record “, said the 26-year-old Italian who reached the semifinals at the Tokyo Olympics. (ANSA).
