Nuoto, c’è l’Euro Meet in Lussemburgo: torna in gara l’oro olimpico Martinenghi

Dalla Svizzera al Lussemburgo. Il circuito internazionale del nuoto lascia il territorio elvetico e si trasferisce nel piccolo paese mitteleuropeo del Benelux, dove dal 31 gennaio al 2 febbraio si terrà l’Euro Meet 2025, il classico meeting d’apertura della stagione in vasca lunga. E sarà un appuntamento cruciale anche per gli azzurri, visto che proprio in questa manifestazione torna a gareggiare anche Nicolò Martinenghi, reduce dal clamoroso oro alle Olimpiadi di Parigi 2024 nei 100 rana. Il poliedrico venticinquenne di Varese, che da dicembre si allena al Centro Federale di Verona con Matteo Giunta, dopo aver raggiunto la maturità con Marco Pedoja, sarà impegnato, oltre che nei 100 rana, anche sulla distanza più corta dei 50.

GLI ALTRI AZZURRI IN VASCA E I BIG STRANIERI

In acqua troveremo anche Sofia Morini (Esercito/NC Azzurra 91), Chiara Tarantino (Fiamme Gialle/In Sport Rane Rosse), Giacomo Carini (Fiamme Gialle/Can. Vittorino da Feltre), Simone Stefanì (Fiamme Oro/Time Limit) e Leonardo Deplano (Carabinieri/CC Aniene). Gli azzurri saranno seguiti dai tecnici Matteo Giunta e Federico Benda.

Due i talenti ucraini ai blocchetti di partenza: si tratta di Vladyslav Bukhov, campione mondiale nei 50 metri stile libero, e Denys Kesyl, specialista dei 200 metri farfalla. Tanti francesi al via: l’argento olimpico Maxime Grousset, il polivalente Beryl Gastaldello sono due nomi. Tra le donne, le olandesi Tessa Giele e la detentrice del record europeo Kira Toussaint.

IL REGOLAMENTO

Per quanto riguarda il regolamento, l’Euro Meet prevede come di consueto le batterie al mattino e poi le finali, alle quali accedono i migliori otto, per quanto riguarda i 50, 100 e 200 metri. Per i 400, 800 e 1500 stile libero, invece, previste le serie lente in mattinata e al pomeriggio le serie sulla carta più veloci. Da ricordare, infine, che questo evento mette in palio la possibilità di centrare i pass per i Mondiali di Singapore.
