Following the triumph of the Setterosa, another Olympic qualification is secured for the Italian team in Doha.

Alessandro Ragaini, Stefano Di Cola, Marco De Tullio (ANSA photo) and Filippo Megli (7:08.48) qualified the Italian men's 4x200 freestyle relay team for the final and Paris 2024.

The time of 7:03.95 achieved by Stefano Di Cola, Marco De Tullio, Matteo Ciampi, and Filippo Megli at the 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka proved crucial, as it ranks among the top 16 team performances eligible for the Olympic qualification, determined by the comparative ranking of the last two editions of the world championship.

The tally so far: with 88 men and 88 women, there are currently 176 Italian athletes qualified for the Olympic Games.
