Off to the swimming competitions at the Fukuoka 2023 World Championships, with the start of the competitions in the pool today, Sunday 23 July. Italy led by technical director Cesare Butini aims to replicate the result of the Budapest World Championships, which closed with 5 golds, 2 silvers and 2 bronzes. “It’s difficult to repeat ourselves: we can collect a number of medals congruous to our movement, but I certainly guarantee the maximum commitment of the athletes and all the staff”, Butini’s words. It starts with the first batteries, from 3.30 in the morning in Italy, with the first blues in the race.
The swimming competitions will be broadcast live on Rai 2 HD free-to-air. For a fee on Sky Sport Summer (201) and Sky Sport Arena (204). Streaming on RaiPlay, and – with subscription – on SkyGo and NOW.
