Great performance by the Eporediese Elena Manzini, 55, who finished the Iron Master in swimming with a brilliant second place in her category. It was a real Italian championship of the specialty in which 2,500 athletes from all over Italy participated, divided into various categories (from master 25 to master 90). The Eporediese falls into the category 55-59 years (master 55).
Elena Manzini, 55 years old and 4 children, spent her childhood and adolescence doing competitive swimming at high levels, under Sisport Fiat, Libertas Dino Rora and Libertas Sa.Fa. She is now registered with the Libertas Chivasso and wanted to regain normalcy after the Covid period, making an extraordinary feat.
In fact, she managed to complete the Iron Master, a particular classification of the Fin SuperMaster circuit which provides for the execution of all the distances of each style and that is 18 races from 200 butterfly to 1500 freestyle and 400 mixed. She closed it with an excellent average points (835.22), coming in second place, preceded only by the Russian Ouspekina Larissa (registered for an Italian company).
Elena then closed the season with the Italian Masters Championships, held in Riccione and finished last Sunday: she won a third place in the 400 medley and two fourth places in the 200 medley and 100 backstroke.
Elena trains alone, followed at a distance by her coaches, Alberto Manfredini, Luisa Lancia and Davide Marchioro, and this gives even more prestige to the result obtained since this solo undertaking is really difficult both for determination and constancy: “I want to dedicate this result to my family, to my coaches and teammates and also to myself », these are Elena’s words. –
