The long course swimming season is increasingly in full swing and the countdown leading up to Paris 2024 Olympics it goes quickly. On the path that will lead to the event in the city of Lovers, this weekend the spotlight will be onAcropolis Swim Open 2024. In Marousi, in Greecea three-day race in which to test the condition.
Italy present and the spotlight on Thomas Ceccon and Sara Curtis, who are carrying out their program to prepare for the Games. The Venetian, already qualified in the 100m backstroke, has the ambition of achieving the pass also in the double distance and it is reasonable to think that this attempt will be carried out in Settecolli Trophy from 21st to 23rd June.
It is therefore not surprising to have seen Ceccon competing in the 200 today. Thomas finished in third position with the chrono of 1:57.65. A race that was decided entirely on a tight finish, in which the two Greeks Apostolos Siskos (1:57.51) and Apostolos Christoy (1:57.65) they preceded the blue by just a little, not so decisive in his touch on the plate.
Third step of the podium also for Curtis in the 100 freestyle, she is a specialist in the single tub and with the ticket to Paris over that distance. However, speaking of such a young athlete, it is reasonable to think that she will also be projected into the 100m due to relay needs. 55.34 the time of the Piedmontese class of 2006in the race won by the Dutchman Kira Toussaint (55.02) ahead of the Cypriot Antonioy Kalia (55.03) and, indeed, to the blue standard bearer. Fourth position, finally, for Giada Alzetta in the women’s 400 medley (4:49.11), in the event that saw the success of the Spanish woman Alba Vazquez Ruiz in 4:42.04.
