Italy double in the men's 800 freestyle at the European Swimming Championships in Budapest: with a time of 7: 43.62 Gregorio Paltrinieri won the silver medal, bronze for the other blue, Gabriele Detti (7: 46.10).
The gold went to the Ukrainian Romanchuk with a time of 7'42 "61.
"While I was swimming I tried them all, I tried to escape but I couldn't, I put in all I had anyway is a good time and another medal", he explained to the microphones of Rai Sport Paltrinieri. "Losing is never nice - he added - I go away with 5 medals, three golds (in the background, ed) and two silver, I'm happy. I thought I could give my best but I didn't think I'd come back with five medals".
