European swimming championships in Paris: Ceccon and Pilato in the final, Guatti and Borrelli do well

On the penultimate day of the European Swimming Championships in Paris, Thomas Ceccon qualified for the 100m backstroke final, coming second in his semi-final. Benedetta Pilato also did well, gaining the pass for the 50 m breaststroke final: the Tarantina also achieved the best entry time. Bottazzo was out and didn't reach his levels. Giovanni Guatti was surprising who, with a personal best of 21"72, reached the final in the 50m freestyle with the seventh time. The young Lorenzo Ballarati was eliminated, despite his personal best, in twelfth place.

Paola Borrelli also wants to impress as she takes the pass to the 200 butterfly final with the sixth time.

Eliminated, but without regrets, 19 year old Giada Alzetta came in tenth.

Tireless and with an extra load of positive anger, Alberto Razzetti who, after fourth place with the new Italian record in the 200 butterfly final, returns to the water and qualifies for the 200 medley final with the fourth fastest time.

Alzetta missed the final of the 200m, finishing in sixth place despite the new personal record.

Italy finished last in the 4X100 medley freestyle final, perhaps paying for the choice to field Barbotti who had competed less than an hour earlier in the 200 medley. Luca De Tullio finishes fifth in the 1500m freestyle final: "For me it's extraordinary to be here.

I'm very happy - he said after the race - For me, being here is already a great achievement. Having made the two finals is a great achievement for me."
