The 59th edition of the annual Sette Colli Trophy is nearly upon us with action kicking off this Friday, June 23rd in Rome, Italy.
We’ll see nearly 500 athletes from 30 nations descend on the Foro Italico, with a mix of objectives and goals for this 3-day competition.
For some, such as the host nation of Italy, the Sette Colli represents a last-chance opportunity to qualify for next month’s World Championships.
Italy held its Trials meet in April, with a total of 12 swimmers having clocked Fukuoka-worthy times to add their names to the initial roster. However, those swimmers can attempt to add more events while new names will seek to be added to the lineup with this weekend’s racing.
For other nations, such as Great Britain, Sette Colli will represent a final tune-up ahead of Fukuoka. Duncan Scott, Katie Shanahan, Tom Dean and more will take on multiple events not to register head-turning times, but rather shake out any more cobwebs before World Championships medals are on the line.
As we previously reported, World Record holder David Popovici is indeed expected to race, with the 18-year-old phenom entered in the men’s 100m and 200m freestyle events.
The latter will pit him against the likes of aforementioned Olympic gold and silver medalist Dean, as well as newly-minted British national champion Matt Richards. The former race will also include Hungarian fly Olympic champion Kristof Milak, British national champion Lewis Burras and versatile Italian swimmer Thomas Ceccon.
Those are just two of the many races on which to keep an eye throughout the competition. Shortly we’ll be following up with a subsequent post on the top 5 races to watch.

Will there be any video stream of the races?
A bit surprised that Paltrinieri isn’t swimming it–I thought he would want to join in on the 1500m madness going on this year
Milak just announced….
He’s withdrawn from Fukuoka!
I see both Max and Joe Litchfield on the programme.
Also Masse, Ruta, Gorbenko, and many others. So stacked!
Distinguished entry list, historic city, magnificent meet…
Absolutely stacked – This is why Sette Colli is always my favourite meet on the circuit – The build up to worlds begins here!
All roads lead to Rome.
