Hungary’s Laszlo Cseh took down the meet record in the men’s 200-meter fly at the 2016 European Championships.
Cseh clocked a time of 1:54.29, clearing the previous mark of 1:54.38 set by Poland’s Pawel Korzeniowski back in 2008 in Eindhoven. That swim is better than Cseh’s previous third-ranked season-best time of 1:54.51 from prelims. Only Daiya Seto (1:54.14) and Masato Sakai (1:54.21) have been faster.
Denmark’s Viktor Bromer turned in a second-seeded time with a 1:55.28 to move to sixth in the world rankings.
Hungary’s Tamas Kenderesi, already ranked fourth in the world with a 1:54.79 from prelims, posted a 1:56.02 for the third seed.
Poland’s Jan Switkowski (1:56.67), Italy’s Giacomo Carini (1:56.81), Spain’s Carlos Peralta Gallego (1:56.92), Greece’s Stefanos Dimitriadis (1:57.44) and Belgium’s Louis Croenen (1:57.56) closed out the rest of the finalist field.
