EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, August 9. UKRAINIAN 13-time world champion Dmytro Vynohradets has once again shown why he is one of the world\u2019s premier swimmers, by winning his seventh gold medal of the week at the 2014 IPC Swimming European Championships in Eindhoven, the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
Vynohradets (2:49.74) dominated the men\u2019s 150m individual medley SM3, taking his fifth individual gold way ahead of teammate Andrii Derevinskyi (3:05.92) and Greece\u2019s Ioannis Kostaki (3:20.03).<\/p>\n
Meanwhile Spain\u2019s six-time Paralympic champion Teresa Perales sealed a third gold, her fifth medal overall, on her return from serious illness to major international competition.<\/p>\n
Perales (37.19), who confirmed this week that she does plan to compete at Rio 2016, won a European title in the women\u2019s 50m freestyle S5 to add to her individual and relay gold and two silver medals.<\/p>\n
The 38-year-old world record holder missed the 2013 World Championships but her successful return saw her lead Israeli silver medallist Inbal Pezaro (39.68) and France\u2019s Anita Fatis (40.52).<\/p>\n
The men\u2019s 100m freestyle S13 was an incredibly close affair between eventual gold medallist Ihar Boki (51.24) of Belarus and Ukraine\u2019s Iaroslav Densysenko (51.59).<\/p>\n
Boki retained his 100 per cent record this week to win double gold as Russia\u2019s Aleksandr Golintovksii (53.13) picked up his second bronze.<\/p>\n
There was a second gold medal of the competition for Denmark thanks to 22-year-old Jonas Larsen (2:39.27) in the men\u2019s 150m individual medley SM4.<\/p>\n
Spain\u2019s Miguel Luque (2:47.27) and the Netherlands\u2019 Michael Schoenmaker (2:50.77) won silver and bronze respectively.<\/p>\n
Great Britain won a total of three gold medals in the morning session at the Pieter van den Hoogenband Swimming Stadium.<\/p>\n
Stephanie Slater (1:07.43) went out hard to win her fourth medal of the Championships in the women\u2019s 100m freestyle S8. Leading from the front, Slater could not be beaten by Denmark\u2019s rising star Amalie Vinther (1:10.38). Romy Pansters (1:16.39) increased the Dutch medal total in bronze.<\/p>\n
Susannah Rodgers (36.58) joined the quadruple gold club with her latest win in the women\u2019s 50m butterfly S7. Russia\u2019s Oxana Guseva (41.26) and Germany\u2019s Denise Grahl (45.77) completed the podium.<\/p>\n
Stephanie Millward (1:10.98) and Amy Marren (1:13.21) both made the podium of the women\u2019s 100m backstroke S9. Spain\u2019s Nuriia Marques (1:13.90) completed the top three.<\/p>\n
The next Ukrainian medal of the day went to Iaraslav Semenenko (1:17.96) in the men\u2019s 100m backstroke S6 final. Winning his fifth individual medal was German Sebastian Iwanow (1:20.37) who lead Russia\u2019s Sergey Klyagin (1:23.79).<\/p>\n
That was quickly followed by another gold for Ukraine with Olesandr Mashchenko (1:01.84) winning the men\u2019s 100m freestyle S11. Russian Alexander Chekurov (1:03.57) beat Polish first-time Euros 2014 medallist Wojciech Makowski (1:04.24) in bronze.<\/p>\n
On a promising morning for the hosts, the women\u2019s 100m backstroke S10 saw Summer Mortimer (1:06.93) equal her own European record. Great Britain\u2019s Alice Tai (1:09.02) and Hungarian Bianka Pap (1:13.01) will be chasing her all the way.<\/p>\n
Mortimer\u2019s teammate Olivier van der Voort (1:01.64) heads through in pole position in the men\u2019s 100m backstroke S10. He leads Estonia\u2019s Kardo Ploomipuu (1:03.45) and Russia\u2019s Dmitry Grigorev (1:05.42).<\/p>\n
Ireland\u2019s Laurence McGivern (1:06.60) qualified fastest in the men\u2019s 100m backstroke SB9 ahead of Poland\u2019s Patryk Biskup (1:07.42) and Great Britain\u2019s James Crisp (1:07.58).<\/p>\n
Less than one second separated the fastest qualifiers in the men\u2019s 100m freestyle S12 headed by Ukraine\u2019s world record holder Maksym Veraksa (53.04), Russia\u2019s Aleksandr Nevolin-Svetov (53.65) and Azerbaijan\u2019s Dzmitry Salei (53.72).<\/p>\n
Veraksa\u2019s teammates Yevheniy Bohodayko (31.81) and Andriy Kozlenko (33.21) lead in the men\u2019s 50m butterfly S7, and Mariia Lafina (3:14.70) also in the women\u2019s 150m individual medley SM4.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s 50m freestyle S5, Spain\u2019s Sebastian Rodriguez (35.36) lead triple Eindhoven 2014 gold medallist Andrew Mullen (37.37) of Great Britain.<\/p>\n
Germany\u2019s Daniel Schulte (1:14.31) went through as the fastest qualifier in the women\u2019s 100m freestyle just edging Italy\u2019s Cecilia Camellini (1.14.40) for an exciting final.<\/p>\n
Russian Anna Krivshina got her campaign for a third medal this week off to a good start, qualifying fastest in the women\u2019s 100m freestyle S13.<\/p>\n
The 2014 IPC Swimming European Championships continue until 10 August and feature around 380 of the world’s best swimmers from 37 countries.<\/p>\n
