San Marino. A May of open water competitions for Arianna Valloni
The open water season for Arianna Valloni. After the experience in European Cup last March 24 in Eilat, where she closed the 10 km in 2 hours and 16 minutes, the blue-white swimmer faced two other tests of the continental circuit and one of the world championship circuit in the last three weeks.
On 13 May, in Piombino, she finished her race in 33rd position out of 50 athletes at the start with a time of 2h and 11 ‘.
Seven days later, at Alghero, he finished the test in 2h and 8 ‘, finishing in 24th place. On 28 May she went into the water in Setubal, Portugal, for the world Cup. A test conditioned by strong winds, rough seas and contrary currents. Conditions that prompted his technician, Fabrizio Antonellito stop it after 6 km.
“It didn’t make sense to take risks – comments the coach -, I preferred to stop her, even if she wanted to continue. However, you have come a long way and are improving. In Piombino and Alghero she did well, especially in the second round, without a wetsuit, another element that conditions a bit. The leap she has made is big, the reality she is facing is not easy and it takes a while to settle in. She is a determined girl, who continues to train with great will and I am sure that the work she is doing and the effort she puts into it will pay off ”.
Meanwhile, preparations continue for the next international engagement, the World Championship which will see her busy at the end of June in Budapest. Given the concomitance of the dates you will not be able to participate in the Mediterranean Games in Oran.
