Italy set a championship record of 3:28.46 as they brought the European Championships to an end with a dominant victory in the men’s medley relay in Rome.
The quartet of Thomas Ceccon, Nicolo Martinenghi, Matteo Rivolta and Alessandro Miressi won by three body lengths at an ecstatic Foro Italico to take 0.13 off the championship mark of 3:28.46 set by Britain in Budapest last year.
Splits:
52.82: Thomas Ceccon
57.72: Nicolo Martinenghi
50.75: Matteo Rivolta
47.17: Alessandro Miressi
France won the silver in 3:32.50 with Austria taking bronze in 3:33.28.
Ceccon concluded the meet with six medals in total: four golds (100 back, 50 fly, 4x100m medley relay and 4×100 free) plus two silvers in the 50 back and mixed medley relay.
He said:
“It feels beautiful. Someone told me that even TV cameras were shaking a bit during our race which never happened before.
“The experience of these championships are memories to be cherished forever.
“I also had medals from the 50m and 100m back so I’ve achieved everything I wanted to.
“This a very young relay except for Rivolta who replaced (Federico) Burdisso.
“Having two golds in one afternoon is more than I can ask for. What a beautiful way to end these championships.
“In 2009 (when the Foro Italico staged the World Championships) I was already training swimming but I wasn’t here but for me this is the perfect setting.
“Finally I take a break from swimming but that won’t be long, just two weeks and soon I’ll be back for training. I’m young so this is the time to work as much as I can.”
