Several major stars are set to make their appearances in Rome later this month for the 62nd Edition of the Settecolli Trophy. Among those announced are world record holders Sarah Sjostrom, Gretchen Walsh, and Adam Peaty.
Sjostrom returned to racing in April at the Malmsten Swim Open, where she swam the 50 free and finished 2nd in 24.36. She had previously not raced for more than 600 days, having given birth to her son in August of 2025.
Walsh has already had a productive summer, clocking a new World Record in the 100 fly about a month ago at the Ft Lauderdale Open in 54.33. She is now the fastest performer in history in the event by more than a full second. The next-fastest 100 butterfly swimmer is fellow Sette Colli competitor Sarah Sjostrom in 55.48.

Peaty, the only man ever under 26 seconds in the 50 breast and 57 seconds in the 100 breast, is coming off the AP Race International Meet, where he clocked 26.79 in the 50 breast and 59.15 in the 100 breast. In April, Peaty dropped a 58.97 in the 100 breast at the Aquatics GB Swimming Championships, his fastest performance since the 2024 British Trials.
The star power does not stop there; in addition to those three world record holders, Italian Backstroker Thomas Ceccon, who swam the 100 backstroke world record in 2022 at the World Championships in Budapest in 51.60. He will be joining fellow Italian Olympic Champion Nicolo Martinenghi at the meet as well.
Other non-Italian swimmers include 200 free Olympic champion David Popovici, sprint ace Noe Ponti, Irish Olympic gold-medalist Daniel Wiffen, Russian backstroke specialist Kliment Kolesnikov, and red-hot freestylers Marrit Steenbergen and Siobhan Haughey.
Some of the host country’s best will also be racing, such as Simona Quadarella, Gregorio Paltrinieri, Simone Cerasuolo, Carlos D’Ambrosio, Sara Curtis, Benedetta Pilato, and Alberto Razzetti.
