Women’s 50 fly

Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom, the world record holder with a 24.43 to her credit from 2014, put herself in a good spot heading into semis with a 25.59 this morning. Sjostrom is the only person that’s been faster this year with a 25.15 from the Swedish Open.

Denmark’s Jeanette Ottesen matched her fourth-ranked season best of 25.80 for the second seed, while The Netherlands’ Ranomi Kromowidjojo snared third in 25.80 as well.

Fran Halsall (26.01), Therese Alshammar (26.05), Maaike De Waard (26.32), Nastja Govejsek (26.36) and Melanie Henique (26.38) also made the top eight of the top 16 semifinalists.

All qualifiers and alternates are listed below. Kim Busch of The Netherlands, however, missed out on semis due to the two-per-country rule. With Kromowidjojo and De Waard already qualifying ahead of her, Busch’s 15th-place 26.66 left her outside of a finales swim.

Men’s 100 back

Romania’s Robert Glinta was one of two 53s this morning with a leading time of 53.43. That swim put him into 12th in the world rankings.

Greece’s Apostolos Christou hit the wall second overall in 53.77 with Ireland’s Shane Ryan taking the Irish national record with a third-placed 54.21 out of prelims.

Israel’s Yakov Toumarkin (54.22), Russia’s Grigory Tarasevich (54.31), Italy’s Simone Sabbioni (54.54), Poland’s Radoslaw Kawecki (54.63) and Israel’s Guy Barnea (54.81) claimed the rest of the top 8 spots heading into semis.

Israel’s depth in the event was on display with two potential top 16 swimmers missing out on second swims due to the two-per country rule. David Gamburg (55.14) and Jonatan Kopelev (55.15) finished 14th and 16th this morning, but were booted from semis.

Meanwhile, Hungary’s David Foldhazi and Adam Telegdy set up a swimoff for the final spot with 55.37s.

Women’s 400 IM

Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu broke her own meet record in the women’s 400-meter IM at the 2016 European Championships during prelims.

Hosszu clocked a top time of 4:30.97 in prelims, breaking her old mark of 4:31.03 set in Berlin in 2014.

That’s not Hosszu’s best this year, she’s already clocked a European record 4:29.89 on the French Golden Tour, and will be looking to challenge Ye Shiwen’s world record of 4:28.43 during finals.

Aimee Willmott qualified second in 4:37.49, while Hannah Miley took third in 4:38.91 for Great Britain as well.

Hungary’s Zsuzsanna Jakabos (4:39.10), Italy’s Carlotta Toni (4:39.60), Slovenia’s Anja Klinar (4:41.31), Czech’s Barbora Zavadova (4:41.63) and Italy’s Luisa Trombetti (4:41.87) also earned their way into the championship heat.

Men’s 100 breast

World-record holder Adam Peaty rang up another 58-second performance in the men’s 100-meter breast.

Peaty topped qualifying with a time of 58.94, just off his meet record of 58.68 from the 2014 edition of the meet. Peaty has been faster than both this year with a 58.41 at British Nationals.

Ross Murdoch came in with a second-seeded time of 59.91, off his third-ranked 59.31 from British Nationals as well.

Great Britain’s breaststroke depth was definitely demonstrated as Craig Benson’s sixth place time of 1:00.63 left him out of semis. Additionally, Charlie Attwood’s 16th-place 1:01.56 also missed out.

Lithuania’s Giedrius Titenis (59.95), Slovenia’s Damir Dugonjic (1:00.33), Italy’s Andrea Toniato (1:00.41), Iceland’s Anton McKee (1:00.79), Greece’s Panagiotis Samilidis (1:00.86) and Italy’s Fabio Scozzoli (1:01.13) also made up the top half of the semifinalist field.

Women’s 200 back

On the back of her meet record in the 400 IM, Katinka Hosszu returned in the 200 back for the top seed.

Hosszu posted a top time of 2:08.44, off her fifth-ranked season best of 2:07.36 from the Golden Tour. Hosszu could be looking at a meet record in the event. She’d have to take down Krisztina Egerszegi’s time of 2:06.62 from way back in 1991.

Ukraine’s Daryna Zevina hit the wall second overall in a time of 2:09.90 with Turkey’s Ekaterina Avramova qualifying third in 2:11.21.

Croatia’s Matea Samardzic (2:11.25), Iceland’s Eyglo Gustafsdottir (2:11.30), Italy’s Margherita Panziera (2:11.45), Czech’s Simona Baumrtova (2:11.92) and Hungary’s Kata Burian (2:11.92) also made semis.

Men’s 50 fly

Ukraine’s Andrey Govorov improved upon his own top-ranked time in the world in the men’s 50-meter fly at the 2016 European Championships.

Govorov raced his way to a 23.00, blistering prelims in the process. That swim beat his previously top-ranked season best of 23.23 from the ES Cup in Lignano.

He’s likely going to take down his meet record of 22.87 set in Berlin in 2014.

Great Britain’s Ben Proud qualified second in 23.54 with Italy’s Piero Codia taking third in 23.67.

Croatia’s Mario Todorovic (23.86), Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh (23.89), Serbia’s Ivan Lendjer (23.93), Ukraine’s Andriy Khloptsov (23.95) and Belarus’ Yauhen Tsurkin (23.97) also cleared 24 seconds to comprise the top half of the semifinalist field.
