Poggio Pips Martinenghi As Ceccon Cruises Through To World-Title Defence In Fukuoka
Federico Poggio delivered the upset of the Italian Championships on day 2 of action in Riccione when he clocked a 58.73 best to take the automatic berth for the World Championships ahead of a 59.06 from World and European champion of 2022 Nicolò Martinenghi.
Poggio, of Fiamme Azzurre/Imolanuoto, and Martinenghi had a time target of 58.98. Martinenghi will doubtless be on the plane to Fukuoka for the defence of his crown in July but this day belonged to Poggio.
He was one of only two automatic qualifiers (first to the wall inside the tough cut on the clock) for World titles today, taking the total assured a place on the Italian squad to eight, after six made it on day 1.
Thomas Ceccon, who claimed two golds and a bronze at World Championships in Budapest and four golds and two silvers at European titles last year, was the first qualifier on day 2 with a 53.36 dominant blast in the 100m backstroke. That’s the crown he will now defend in Japan this July.
