Hi! I'm just wondering who's coming?
I'll be there! 50 free, fly and back, 100 free and back, and 3KM in the sea.
I'll be wearing an t-shirt with "ITALIA" and "Maryyyy" printed on it.
Anyone else? It would be nice to meet you while your here.

The 200 breaststroke winners have been posted on the website I mentioned yesterday which now ends &id=3934. NO USA swimmers made the grade in this event, neither men nor women!
Hey y'all. I can't believe I found the results for the first two days.
Actually only the winners of each age group were listed, but I've copied the list of USMS swimmers. Todd Spieker, William Lauer, Denise Brown, Meredith Moore, Jackie Marr, Agnes Janet Cederlund, and Rita Simonton. But please note that for whatever reason, that men from the age groups from 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 are not included, nor the women's from 25, and 30 are not included. The above are from the 800 free which was held on day one.
Day two champions are from all age groups, both men and women. Swimmers from the USA that won their events are: for the 200 IM W.C. Muter (whose time was erroneously listed as 4 42 09, but probably was 2 42 09) and J.P. Berndt, Lois Nochman, and Nadine Day.
The 50 Fly winners were W. Johnston, Frank Grannis, *** Webber, and T. Geiman, while the only USA woman winner was Lois Nochman. There could have been more men in the 50 Fly and the 100 Free, but the listing didn't get those under 40 for either event. Oh well! Those winning the 100 Free were Rita Simonton and S. Heim-Bowen for the women, and W. Johnston, T.Geiman, and Jack Groselle (although he is listed as G. Jack!).
I'll try my best to copy the website I found this on so here goes:
www.federnuoto.it/masters.asp
The results for the 800 had the same http: etc. as that given above except that the last numbers were 3921.
yes, it's really silly to work hard and eventually to create a bad impression; stupidity is a fault, of course, but i hope people will forget this incident; anyway, i wish to thank Maryyyyyy for having always tried to give a good image of italy.

'bye, antonio
Well, that's a bummer! I didn't hear anything about having to BUY the results! I completely agree with swiminfo that results are not proprietary information, but public....
There's quite an uproar about this on our Italian masters forum...
Italian Masters Forum
We're making up for it by publishing results we know about on the forum, but that's an arduous task!
Let's hope they change their minds...
Ciao!
There's some coverage on the Italian Federation site:
FIN Italy
The articles are mostly about Italian swimmers.
There are all the gold medals updated through yesterday on the various pages. Where the time is followed by "R.M." that means "Record Mondiale" or rather, can you guess? World Record!
Throughout the day I'll check if they start posting the complete results.
And, yes, the international date line is way off in the middle of the Pacific, so we are NOT a day ahead of the USA... just a few hours...
Hey, y'all. The latest results of the winners (only) have from USA: 50 *** three men, Edward Rudloff, Peter Anderson, and Jack Groselle. None of our women were first in this event.
The 100 Butterfly: Lois Kivi Nochman, and (from the #28 seed) Zsejke Tusa was the winner in the 25-29!!! Also Canadian Judie Oliver in the 70-74. The men had William Johnston, Thomas Maine, William Lauer, and Thomas Geiman. Also Canadian John Van Buren.
The 400 Freestyle: William Lauer and Tod Spieker the only men winners, but the women had three, Rita Simonton. Jackie Marr, S. Heim-Bowen, and S. Simpson.
The 200 Backstroke: 4 men from USA, Paul Hutinger,Tod Spieker, Frederico Ferroggiaro, and Jens-Peter Berndt. Also Canadian Wieslaw Musial. Just one women, Agnes Janet Cederlund.
This I gleaned from
www.federnuoto.it/federazione.asp?p=articolo&id=3940
Doug where did those results come from. Any times for the 400 IM or any of the others. This am those results weren't on the website and tonite I only see diving. Thanz
The latest report from Riccione has three winners from the USA in the 100 meter breaststroke, Nadine Day, Jack Groselle, and former Indiana (with Doc Counsilman) great, Ken Frost.
The 400 IM was a little more productive with Lois Kivi Nochman, June Krauser, Jackie Marr, Laureen Welting, and Nadine Day.
Laureen and Nadine swam in adjacent lanes in the last heat of the event which was seeded with mixed age groups by seed times only! Judie Oliver from Canada was also a winner.
