Gregorio Paltrinieri (born 5 September 1994) is an Italian competitive swimmer, World Long course and Short course champion and two-time European champion in the 1500 m freestyle event at the 2012 and 2014 European Aquatics Championships. Paltrinieri - also bronze medalist at the 2013 World Aquatics Championships - is the current 800m freestyle (50m) and 1500m freestyle (50m) European record holder with a time of 14:39.93 established on August 20, 2014 at the 2014 European Aquatics Championships in Berlin. He also holds the 1500m freestyle European record in the 25 metres pool. ==Biography== Paltrinieri started swimming at a very young age, and until the age of 12, he specialized in breaststroke. However, as he grew, he converted to freestyle, specializing in the longer pool distances. His first international success came as a 16-year-old at the 2011 European Junior Swimming Championships in Belgrade, where he won the 1500 metres gold and an 800 metres bronze. Having qualified for the World championships in Shanghai, he did not progress further than the heats, but a few weeks later at the World Junior Championships in Lima, Peru, he was back on the podium with a 1500 metres freestyle silver and an 800 metres bronze. In March 2012 Paltrinieri won the Italian 800 metres freestyle title, and two months later, he left everyone in his wake at the European Championships in Debrecen, defeating renowned Hungarians Gergő Kis and Gergely Gyurta in the 1500m. His time of 14:48.92 qualified him for the Olympics and, at the time, was the year’s second-fastest 1500m swim, breaking the championship record.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Londra 2012 – i qualificati )〕 He is trained by Stefano Morini.

At the end of 2012 Paltrinieri finished 2nd in the 1500 meter freestyle event at the 2012 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m), and was later awarded a gold medal after a positive doping test for Danish swimmer Mads Glæsner.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FINA Strips Glaesner of World Championship As Well; Paltrinieri Becomes 1500 Champ )〕 However, upon appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Glæsner's 1500-meter freestyle gold medal was reinstated based on the fact that a test after that race, two days after his initial positive test following the 400-meter free, was clean. This means that Paltrinieri was returned to his silver medal position in the 1500m freestyle. Paltrinieri competed for Italy at 2013 World Aquatics Championships. He reached his first 800 metres freestyle final at a long course world championship event finishing sixth in 7:50.29. In the 1500 metres freestyle event Paltrinieri won a bronze medal with a time of 14:45.37, establishing a new national record.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Men’s 1500m free: Sun (CHN) confirms supremacy since 2011 )〕 In 2014 Paltrinieri at the Italian Swimming Championships finished second in 800 metres freestyle event with a time of 7:43.01, behind Gabriele Detti who established a new European record on the distance. Three days later Paltrinieri established a new national record of 14:44.50 in the 1500m freestyle event. In August, at the 2014 European Aquatics Championships, Paltrinieri won the 800m and 1500m freestyle events establishing an impressive new European record of 14:39.93; with this result he became only the fifth swimmer ever to hold a time lower than 14:40.00 in a 1500m freestyle long course event. At the 2014 FINA World Swimming Championships (25 m) in Doha, Paltrinieri became World champion for the first time with the new 1 European record of 14:16.10, which is also the second fastest time ever swum behind Grant Hackett's World record. At the 2015 World Aquatics Championships, in Kazan, Paltrinieri won the silver medal in the 800m, defeated by Sun Yang; he also won the 1500m, setting a new European record, a race in which Sun did not take part despite having qualified for the final with the second best time after Paltrinieri. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gregorio Paltrinieri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
