Gabriele Detti jumped to third in the world in the men’s 400-meter free at the 2016 Italian Nationals.
Detti clocked a winning time of 3:43.97, behind only Mack Horton (3:41.65) and James Guy (3:43.84) this year. That swim easily cleared the FINA A cut of 3:50.40 in the process.
Mitch D’Arrigo, meanwhile, finished second in 3:50.82 just outside of the FINA A cut.
Domenico Acerenza (3:51.20), Damiano Lestingi (3:51.62), Alex Di Giorgio (3:52.07), Nicolangelo Di Fabio (3:52.56), Samuel Pizzetti (2:54.03) and Matteo Ciampi (3:54.23) also performed in the finale.
