The sixth day of the 2023 long course swimming World Championships in Fukuoka (Japan) did not start well for Italy. The batteries of 100 dolphin men went on file and indications were negative due to deletions of Frederick Burdisso e you Piero Codiaunable to enter the group of the best sixteen who will take part in the semi-finals.
Burdissoafter a good first 50 meters in 23.96, did not find the return in the second pool to be his strong point and the chrono was 51.98, a far cry from his personal 51.39 a couple of years ago. Only 20th for the Lombard, who has been training in Rome with Claudio Rossetto since January, and a signal with the sign “-” in view of the 4×100 medley relay. To say that even the best Chinese of the lot of batteries, ie Wang Changhao did not exceed the cut of the morning heat (51.78), speaking of the great strength of the quartet from China.
Same fate for Piero Codia: the 33-year-old homegrown, after a good first 50 at 23.61, didn’t get the right answers from his body and at 52.01 he emphasized his imperfect condition. Italian record holder with a time of 50.64, Codia thus saw the race finish in 21st place immediately behind his national teammate.
Speaking of the best, considering the absences of Caeleb Dressel and Kristof Milak, the best was the Australian Matthew Temple in 50.76 to precede the Dutch Nys Korstanje (50.78) and the Canadian Josh Lindo (50.98).
