In the absence of world champion Leon Marchand, the 23-year-old Razzetti won in 4 min 10.60 sec, more than six seconds outside the European record set by French swimmer Marchand in winning the world title in June.

Razzetti beat Hungarian David Verraszto (4:12.58) and another Italian, Pier Andrea Matteazzi (4:13.29).
