Career

[edit]

On 25 July 2011 won the silver medal at the World Championships in Shanghai in the 100 m breaststroke, beaten by Alexander Dale Oen and in front of Cameron van der Burgh, also establishing two Italians records: in the semi-final with a time of 59.83 and in the final with a time of 59.42. On 27 July 2011 has also won the silver medal in the 50m breaststroke, behind Brazilian Felipe França Silva and again in front of Cameron van der Burgh, also establishing the Italian record in that distance with a time of 27.17. On 13 December 2012 Scozzoli became the first Italian swimmer ever to win a gold medal in a World Swimming Championships (25 m) competition winning the Men's 100 metre breaststroke at Istanbul 2012.[1]

Once back in Italy, the 4 August has improved the primacy of the Italian and European short course 50m breaststroke in, held by Alessandro Terrin, winning the Italian title in summer leagues.[2][clarification needed]

At the 2022 Mediterranean Games, on the second day of swimming competition, Scozzoli set a new Games record in the preliminaries of the 50 metre breaststroke with a time of 27.17 seconds and qualified for the final ranking first overall.[3][4] In the final, later the same day, he won the gold medal with a time of 26.97 seconds, lowering the Games record he set in the morning by 0.20 seconds and finishing 0.03 seconds ahead of short course metres world record holder in the event Emre Sakçı of Turkey.[5][6][7]

Scozzoli was named as a team captain on the Italy swim team for the 2022 European Aquatics Championships, held in Rome, with an age of 34 years old as of the start date of the competition.[8] In the 50 metre breaststroke on day five, he narrowly ranked third overall in the preliminaries with a time of 26.89 seconds, which was 0.04 seconds behind second-ranked Simone Cerasuolo also of Italy, and did not qualify for the semifinals as he was not one of the two fastest Italians.[9][10]
