Laszlo Cseh posted the fastest January men’s 100-meter fly ever at the 2016 Luxembourg Euro Meet.

Cseh threw down a swift time of 51.40. That time cleared the 51.64 set by Jack Conger at the Arena Pro Swim Series in Austin in 2015. Cseh also downed his meet record of 52.57 from last year.

The 51.40 would have ranked 10th in the world last year as well.

Ivan Lendjer finished second in 52.64 with Philip Heintz claiming third in 53.04.

A day after posting the fastest January 200 breast ever, Marco Koch posted a meet-record time of 1:00.45 in the men’s 100-meter breast. That swim cleared Koch’s meet record of 1:00.64 from 2014.

Giedrius Titenis took second in 1:01.11 with Christian Vom Lehn placing third in 1:01.29.

Mireia Belmonte took down Katinka Hosszu in the women’s 400-meter free, 4:07.94 to 4:10.45, to kick off the final evening. That swim smashed Hosszu’s meet record of 4:08.61 set back in 2014. Sarah Koehler wound up third in 4:10.56.

Hosszu took another loss as Mercedes Peris touched out Hosszu in the women’s 50-meter back, 28.12 to 28.34. Both cleared Hosszu’s meet record of 28.80 set in prelims today. Daryna Zevina finished third in 28.95.

Ilaria Bianchi took down the women’s 100-meter fly meet record with a 58.59. That swim cleared her preliminary record of 59.27. Emilia Pikkarainen finished second in 59.09 with Judith Ignacio claiming third in 59.31. Hosszu faded to ninth in 1:01.48.

Hosszu finally got it going with a 54.58 to win the women’s 100-meter free. That swim beat Amy Smith’s 2012 meet record of 54.78. Julie Meynen (55.36) and Jessica Jackson (55.69) closed out the rest of the podium.

Zevina delivered Hosszu another loss as Zevina blasted the meet record in the women’s 200-meter back with a 2:09.95. That swim cleared her own prelim record of 2:10.17. Hosszu took second in 2:12.80 with Doerte Baumert placing third in 2:14.69.

Velimir Stjepanovic crushed the meet record in the men’s 400-meter free with a time of 3:48.70. That swim eclipsed the previous mark of 3:50.74 set by Christian Kubusch back in 2009. Mykhailo Romanchuk finished second in 3:51.43 with Sergii Frolov picking up third in 3:52.43.
