Lorenzo Galossi (born 25 May 2006) is an Italian competitive swimmer.

At the 2022 European Junior Championships, he won medals in three individual events, the gold medal each in the 400-metre freestyle and the 800-metre freestyle and the silver medal in the 200-metre freestyle.

Background

Galossi was born 25 May 2006 in the Mentana area of Rome, Italy and competes for Circolo Canottieri Aniene, CC Aniene, in national and regional competitions.[1][2] The end of 2022 to beginning of 2023, he transitioned coaching and training methodologies, one change of which included swimming in the evening instead of the early afternoon.[3]

Career

2021–2022

At the 2021 European Junior Swimming Championships, held in Rome in July, Galossi won a bronze medal as part of the 4×200-metre freestyle relay, splitting a 1:50.32 for the first leg of the relay, placed fifth in the 800-metre freestyle, 11th in the 400-metre freestyle, and 12th in the 200-metre freestyle.[4] The following year, as a 15-year-old at the 2022 Italian National Spring Championships in Riccione, he won the silver medal in the 400-metre freestyle with a European junior record time of 3:45.93, qualified for the 2022 World Aquatics Championships in the event, and placed fourth in the 800-metre freestyle with a personal best time of 7:49.76.[5][6][7][8]
