Elena Gemo (born 17 March 1987, in Galzignano Terme)[1] is an Italian swimmer. She is 180 cm tall and weighs 69 kg.[2]

Biography

Gemo qualified for her first Olympic appearance in London 2012.[3][4] At the 2012 European Aquatics Championships, despite having swum the 7th time in the heat, was not admitted to the semifinals, because each nation could only have a maximum of two athletes in the semifinals and three Italian athletes had qualified.[5]

She is the Italian record holder in the 50-metre-long course and 50 and 100 meter short course backstroke.
