Tunisian swimmer Ahmed Jaouadi has brilliantly won his place in the 800m freestyle final, making an impressive time of 7: 42.07. This performance allowed him to get ahead of the Italian champion Gregorio Paltrierieri, who finished in 7: 42.48. The long -awaited final is scheduled for tomorrow at 8 p.m.
This qualification is all the more remarkable since it comes after a disappointment for Jaouadi. Earlier in the day, he had been eliminated from the 400m freestyle race. Despite a second place in his series with a time of 3:46:19, he finally ranked 9th at the end of all the qualifications, narrowly missing the final.
The Tunisian swimmer will therefore have the opportunity to shine during the 800m final tomorrow. He also remains in the running for the 1500m and 10km free water events, where he hopes to continue on his momentum.
This qualification for the final of the 800m freestyle represents a good revenge for Ahmed Jaouadi and promises an exciting competition to follow tomorrow.
