Hungary’s Peter Bernek pulled ahead from the first 50 meters in the men’s 400 IM final at the European Championships, and no one else could ever come close. He finished in 3:59.47 to secure the gold medal by more than 3.5 second.
Germany’s Phillip Heintz finished second in 4:03.16, and Hungary’s Gergely Gyurta took third in 4:06.33. Gyurta faded badly down the stretch but had enough of an advantage to hold off Spain’s Marc Sanchez Torrens, who ended up fourth in 4:06.73.
Spain’s Joan Lluis Pons Ramon (4:07.99), Germany’s Jacob Heidtmann (4:08.56), Italy’s Federico Turrini (4:09.11) and Portugal’s Joao Alexandre Vital (4:09.19) also swam in the final.
