Simona Quadarella confirms herself as the undisputed European queen of middle-distance and also wins the 1500 freestyle as the dominant champion. A stunning dominance that includes Tuesday’s 800, the triples of 2018 in Scotland and 2021 in Hungary (1500, 800, and 400), and the double in the Capital (1500 and 800) where she then took silver in the 400 freestyle. The 27-year-old Roman and world vice-champion – registered with CC Aniene, coached by Gianluca Belfiore – triumphs in 15’46″22, thirty-two lengths at 31″6-31″7. An unsustainable pace for all rivals, even for the German Isabel Gose who finished second in 15’49″31, trying to keep up with the Italian up to nine hundred meters, then inevitably raising the white flag. Third another German, Maya Werner (15’52″50).

But it’s a European title, so it’s very good,” she added.
