July 30, 2021 Great world record (the first individual at the Games) with gold in the 200 breaststroke for Tatjana Schoenmaker, South African in 1997, and heir to Penny Heyns, who swims the distance in 2'18 "95, First woman in history under 2 '19 ", with a superb second part of the race.
On the Italian night, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the best news for Italy was Gianmarco Tamberi's qualification for the high jump final. The worst was the elimination in the first round of the men's sword team event: another bitter disappointment for Italian fencing.
Athletics
On the first day of competition at the Olympic Stadium, Gimbo (out with an injury in Rio 2016) overcame 2.28 meters on his second attempt, a measure that allowed him to celebrate access to his first Olympic final. "They were all bad jumps, but the important thing was to get to the final", scheduled for Sunday when the blue will have to "just find the right jump to unlock me, and then - said one of the most anticipated Azzurri at these five-circle Games - it will be a magical day ".
For Italian athletics, excellent signals also came from Alessandro Sibilio (400 hurdles), Elena Bellò (800) and Anna Bongiorni (100), all qualified for the semifinals. Even better the blues in the 3000 steeplechase, with two out of three already qualified for the final: Ahmed Abdelwahed (third in his battery) and Ala Zoghlami (fished out), while his twin brother, Osama, did not get the pass for just 15 cents.
Fencing
Conditioned by nervousness, the Italy of the male sword is therefore already out of the race for the medal in the team test. On the Azzurri (silver in Rio 2016) there were great expectations and instead in the first meeting of Tokyo 2020, that of the quarter-finals, Santarelli, Garozzo and Fichera lost badly with Russia for 45-34.
Archery
At Yumenoshima Park Archery Field, Lucilla Boari qualified for the quarter-finals of the individual archery test: in the second round the blue defeated the Belarusian Marusava for 6-5 and at 15.30 Japanese (8.30 Italian) she will challenge the Chinese Wu.
Boxing
Like Giordana Sorrentino yesterday, today Rebecca Nicoli was eliminated in the round of 16, thus ending her adventure in the Tokyo Olympics boxing tournament. The Italian lightweight was defeated on points 5-0 by Irishman Kellie Anne Harrington.
I swim
The Olympic swimming program is approaching its conclusion: in the Japanese morning, Italy had to dismiss the profound disappointment of the elimination of Margherita Panziera in the semifinal. The blue was credited at least for qualifying for the final: "I tried to do a more aggressive race, but I lacked the energy: I didn't have any more".
Cycling, the coach Cassani returns to Italy
"I'm taking the plane now. Why I'm leaving Tokyo earlier? I prefer to talk about it tonight when I get back." The Italian cycling coach, Davide Cassani, tells ANSA before embarking from Tokyo to return to Italy. His position could be in question after the results of the Olympics in road tests, with a bronze by Elisa Longo Borghini among women and the disappointment of men in both the line race and the time trial.
