49th Trofeo Sette Colli Attracts a Loaded International Field



49th Trofeo Sette Colli, Foro Italico, Rome, June 14-16

The Sette Colli Trophy has attracted a fantastic international field once again as well as showcasing Italy's finest swimmers. The competition offers the swimming fan one of the final chances to see top class racing in Europe before the serious swimming starts in London.

Keep an eye out for Federica Pellegrini on home soil. Having seen Camille Muffat move above her as favourite in the eyes of many for the 400m Free, Pellegrini gets a chance to lay down a marker in both the 200 and 400m Free. The 2009 World Championships in Rome showed just how much the Italian likes racing at the Foro Italico.

  4. Thanks for the link, Jessica.

    Unfortunately doesn't work for me as I get the message that it's reserved for Italian viewers only...
