European swimming: Paltrinieri, ‘World record 1500? High altitude ‘

(ANSA) – ROME, AUGUST 14 – “I think the bookmaker who quoted me at 20 hours was fired, I saw that yesterday I was given at 1.5 … But for the world record of 1,500 the odds are still high , it’s not easy. For me, the important thing is to win, to finish before the others “. Word of a smiling Gregorio Paltrinieri, fresh from European gold in the 800 meters, in the press conference at Casa Arena. “Soon to say that Lorenzo Galossi will be my heir? He made 7:43, I would say not so soon! He is the present of Italian swimming, and now we see that he will do in the 400 meters – continues Paltrinieri – With Lorenzo we have a lot in common, I see a great desire to do in him, I was also ‘bad’ when I was young, it is something that I really appreciate.

I am delighted to have shared the podium with another Italian. “Greg also talks about his next race in the 1500 meters:” I will not be able to implement the same strategy as the world championships, I cannot make heats in pianissimo and qualify last. Ideal lane? If I win and have a good time, whatever is fine, I don’t necessarily need to stay in 1. The important thing is to be focused on myself and not think about others “. (ANSA).
