The Defending Champs Headed for European Short Course Championships

The 2025 European Short Course Swimming Championships (December 2-7) will happen subsequent week in Lublin, Poland and quite a few champions from the 2023 competitors in Otopeni, Romania have determined to defend their titles and enrich their medal collections.

Among the champions racing in Lublin is Olympic champion of 800 freestyle, Daniel Wiffen of Ireland. Two years in the past, Wiffen was the titlist within the 400 freestyle, 800 freestyle and 1500 freestyle. He’ll be joined as a defending champ by a number of Italians: Lorenzo Mora (200 backstroke), Nicolo Martinenghi (50 breaststroke), Alberto Razzeti (400 medley) and Simona Quadarella (400 freestyle). While 100 backstroke Olympic champ Thomas Ceccon has by no means a person gold medal on the European Short Course Champs, that state of affairs might change within the coming days. In order to make that occur, he should defeat Mewen Tomac, the Frenchman received each 50 and 100 backstroke in 2023.
