Noè Ponti has successfully completed the Swiss Championships in the large pool. The swimmer from Ticino won gold in the 50 m crawl in the Sursee campus pool on Sunday, setting a personal record of 22.61 seconds. He beat his best time set in Dubai in mid-February by two hundredths.
This was Ponti's fourth gold medal at this year's national championships after winning the 50 m dolphin, 100 m crawl and 100 m dolphin.
Roman Mityukov, the other star of Swiss swimming, completed the backstroke triple in Sursee. The bronze medal winner at the 2024 Olympic Games triumphed in the 100 m on Sunday, having already won gold in the 50 m on Friday and his favorite distance, the 200 m, on Saturday. The Geneva native swam the 100 m backstroke in 53.96 seconds, just 0.64 seconds off his Swiss record.
