Italian swimmers are on fire tonight, as national records have fallen in each of the first three events of the session – the men’s 200 free, women’s 1500 free, and now the men’s 50 breast.
30 year-old Fabio Scozzoli shaved 0.03s off his own Italian Record in the 50 breast, qualifying 3rd in the semi-finals with a time of 26.70. His previous best time – and the previous Italian Record – was a 26.73 from the 2018 Italian Championships.
World record holder Adam Peaty figures to have the gold medal all but locked up, but Scozzoli should be squarely in the mix for a minor medal in tomorrow night’s final.
Scozzoli joins teammates Filippo Megli and and Simona Quadrella in setting Italian Records in tonight’s finals session.
