Stars Shine at Eindhoven Cup; Zsuzsanna Jakabos, Hannah Miley Among Winners

EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, April 6. THE third day of the Eindhoven Cup featured some strong performances, but nothing as swift as yesterday's three national records.

Hungary's Zsuzsanna Jakabos crushed the competition in the women's 200-meter fly with a time of 2:07.66. Meanwhile, Britain's Jemma Lowe picked up second-place honors in a time of 2:09.64. Slovenia's Anja Klinar touched third in 2:11.84.

Dion Dreesens followed in the men's 200-meter free with a touchout triumph ahead of Robby Renwick, 1:47.93 to 1:47.99. Sebastiaan Verschuren clinched third-place honors in 1:50.17 after winning the event a year ago.

After taking down the Swedish record in the men's 200-meter IM last night with a 1:59.16, Simon Sjodin returned in the men's 100-meter fly with a 53.26 for the win. Russia's Evgeny Korotyshkin turned in a second-place 53.39, while Mike Marissen placed third in 53.70.

Great Britain's Hannah Miley remained on point in the 400-meter distance events. A day after taking down Jakabos in the 400 IM, 4:34.21 to 4:35.43, Miley prevailed in the women's 400-meter freestyle event with a 4:09.59.
