World Swimming Championships: Filippo Pelati is bronze in the artistic free solo
Another great Italy at the World Swimming Championships being held in Singapore. After the great satisfactions in the open water, with Ginevra Taddeucci and Gregorio Paltrinieri, there is Filippo Pelati to make Italy rejoice again.
The 18-year-old Italian, making his debut at a rainbow event, won a fabulous bronze medal in the men’s free solo. The talent from Ferrara finished with a score of 213.9850, which earned him third place overall behind Russian athlete Aleksandr Maltsev, the absolute ruler of the competition, and China’s Muye Guo.
“I went into the pool thinking about the corrections made all these months, including this morning during training, trying to show my technical gesture to the best of my ability. I heard the music well inside me and tried to convey it as much as possible. Surely I can still improve a lot from a technical point of view” his words, at the end of the competition, released to Rai. A huge satisfaction for a boy who will be talked about a lot in the future. Visibly excited, he gave himself a bronze medal that repays him for so many sacrifices (he has just graduated from high school).
The bronze medal won by the very young Flippo Pelati is the seventh overall of the Italian expedition to the World Championships in Singapore. To date, the blue medal table sees six silver medals and, now, one bronze.
