Benedetta Pilato strikes a blow . The blue kicked off today his personal experience in the youth Europeans of stage swimming in the tub of the Foro Italico in Rome.
In the 50 breaststroke , a distance in which she holds the absolute world record of 29 “30 and in which she won the senior world silver two years ago, the Taranto woman stopped the chronometers on a time of 29” 75, establishing the new record of the championships and improving his own record that he established in Kazan (Russia) in 2019. Sensitive gaps those trimmed by Benny to his opponents, considering that the first of the pursuers (Russian Elena Bogomolova) suffered a gap of 77 cents (30 ″ 52).
A swim always pushing and grabbing that of Pilate who, despite the head and the preparation is in function of the Tokyo Olympics, has shown his great qualities as a competitor.
In the afternoon (18.08) we will see her in the semifinals and it will be interesting to understand what time she will be able to get . Probably, the goal will be to get as close as possible to the world record and treat yourself to something special, since the gold that will be awarded tomorrow does not seem to be in question.
