Noè Ponti’s silver medal was not the only reason for satisfaction in the Swiss camp on Sunday against the Europeans in the large basin of Rome.
Antonio Djakovic (200m freestyle) and Lisa Mamié (200m breaststroke) indeed won their finalist ticket a few minutes later, with some brilliance.
Antonio Djakovic (19) and Lisa Mamié (23), who both signed the 2nd time in the semi-finals, can dream of a podium on Monday. But if the gold is out of reach of the Thurgovian because promised to the prodigy David Popovici, it is possible for Lisa Mamié. The latter indeed remained two seconds from her Swiss record on Sunday.
Antonio Djakovic for his part improved his Swiss record by 0.45, established in the final of the 4×200 m freestyle at the Tokyo Olympics, to bring it to 1’45.32. This time nevertheless places him more than two seconds behind the best time of David Popovici, who had swum in 1’43”21 to become world champion in June.

Maria Ugolkova also missed a place in the 100m butterfly final by 0”12. The swimmer from Uster-Wallisellen set the ninth time in the semi-finals, in 58”66, 0”44 from her national record. Second Swiss entered in the semi-finals in this event, Julia Ullmann failed more clearly, finishing 16th in 59”66.
Frustrated 4th in the 200m backstroke final on Saturday evening, Roman Mityukov will not be consoled thanks to the 50m backstroke. Tenth in the semi-finals, the Genevan failed just 0”08 from a place in the final. He nevertheless largely fulfilled his contract by improving his personal best twice to bring it to 25”11 (25”31 in the playoffs).
