Mission accomplished at the World Championships in Doha: Italian team and duo secure their ticket to the Games
Clean sweep for the national artistic swimming team at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar.
In the Aspire Dome pool, in fact, both the team and the Italian duo gained a pass for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Based on the ranking formed by the cumulative scores from the technical, free, and acrobatic finals, Italy (photo Andrea Masini/DBM) concluded the world championship event in Qatar behind the United States (814.0654), Spain (798.652), and Japan (797.845). With a total of 756.5996 points, Italy has rejoined the race for the French capital, reserved for the five best-placed nations that have not yet qualified.
Official qualification for our country arrived thanks to the fifth place secured by Linda Cerruti, Marta Iacoacci, Sofia Mastroianni, Enrica Piccoli (captain), Lucrezia Ruggiero, Isotta Sportelli, Giulia Vernice and Francesca Zunino in the free routine showdown.
