Setterosa still dreams after he achieved the feat of knocking out the world champion USA. The final is about to be clinched against the Netherlands at 10 am. In swimming, 5 more finals are set: we start in 13th by supporting Paltrinieri in the 800m. However, the greatest hopes are pinned on Federico Burdisso and Alberto Razzetti, the expected champions of the 200m butterfly, and on Nicolò Martinenghi who is trying to make his point in the 50m breaststroke.
