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.
