Italian Swimmers Back in Action for the World Swimming Championships in Doha

Italy returns to the pool for the World Swimming Championships in Doha, where several athletes are competing to bring home a medal. In the artistic discipline, Giorgio Minisini and Susanna Pedotti will make their international debut as a couple in the preliminary rounds of the mixed technical duet. A completely new and experimental duo wanted by the Dt Patrizia Giallombardo to preserve Lucrezia Ruggiero. She is involved in the women's double races with Linda Cerruti where the pass for the Olympics is at stake.

In the diving category, instead, Lorenzo Marsaglia and Giovanni Tocci will go hunting for the qualification of the Final from the meter, to then play their chances in the afternoon. Irene Pesce and Eduard Timbretti, on the other hand, will try to get a good score in the syncro mixed from 10 meters. Ginevra Taddeucci and Arianna Bridi aim for the podium to also guarantee the ticket for Paris 2024 in the 10 km freestyle swim.
