We invite you to offer your picks in our Reaction Time comments section below!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Commentary by David Rieder<\/i><\/p>\n<p>IRVINE, California, August 10. THE women\u2019s 200 IM at the European Championships could be one of the most exciting events of the competition, with the news that Great Britain\u2019s Siobhan-Marie O\u2019Connor will be attending the meet. The teenager broke out at the Commonwealth Games when she dropped a 2:08.21 in the event, and though she could have called it a season after her swims in Glasgow, she\u2019s using Europeans as another opportunity to improve.<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Connor will face off with reigning World Champion Katinka Hosszu, who last year dominated the field in Barcelona with a 2:07.92. Other Europeans in last year\u2019s final included Spain\u2019s Mireia Belmonte Garcia \u2013 the bronze medalist in that race \u2013 along with Hosszu\u2019s countrywoman Zsuzsanna Jakobos and Britain\u2019s Sophie Allen.<\/p>\n<p>Evelyn Verraszto and Aimee Willmott could battle to knock their teammates out of finals, while Austria\u2019s Lisa Zaiser could be an interesting darkhorse. Also watch for the Netherlands\u2019 Femke Heemskerk, who ranks third in the world at 2:10.21, but Heemskerk has had much more success in the freestyle events throughout her career and might focus on those in Berlin.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Women\u2019s 200 IM medal predictions<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Katinka Hosszu, Hungary<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Siobhan-Marie O\u2019Connor, Great Britain<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Mireia Belmonte Garcia, Spain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The depth suffers in the men\u2019s event, where Europe had just two finalists at last year\u2019s World Championships and only five swimmers ranking in the top 20 in the world this year. However, the event will feature the greatest 200 IMer in history that has never won the event at an Olympics or World Championships. Laszlo Cseh has finished behind Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte in the event so many times; combining World Championships and Olympics, Cseh has earned three silvers and four bronzes in this event since 2004.<\/p>\n<p>With the battle looking like one for silver and bronze, Germany\u2019s Marcus Deibler is a strong contender, as his 1:58.00 ranks first in Europe so far this year. He finished ninth at last year\u2019s Worlds, one spot behind Sweden\u2019s Simon Sjodin. Great Britain\u2019s Roberto Pavoni and Portugal\u2019s Diogo Carvalho also finished in the top-16 last summer in Barcelona, while Spain\u2019s Eduardo Solaeche-Gomez and Britain\u2019s Joe Roebuck also rank among the world top-20. Solache-Gomez trains at the University of Florida and could continue the strong summer that Gregg Troy\u2019s foreign squad is having in 2014.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Men\u2019s 200 IM medal predictions<br \/>\nGold :<\/b> Laszlo Cseh, Hungary<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Marcus Deibler, Germany<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Eduardo Solaeche-Gomez, Spain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previous European championships medal predictions:<\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/european-championships-medal-predictions-sarah-sjostrom-vlad-morozov-looking-to-mine-100-free-gold>100 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/medal-predictions-can-hungary-win-both-400-ims-at-european-championships\/>400 individual medley<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/is-britta-steffens-50-free-record-going-down-at-european-championships\/>50 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lacourt-injury-opens-door-in-mens-100-back-at-european-championships-medal-predictions-2\/>100 backstroke<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/hungary-looking-strong-for-many-medals-in-200-fly-at-european-championships\/>200 butterfly<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/european-championships-medal-predictions-damir-dugonjic-looking-to-repeat-as-50-breast-champ\/>50 breaststroke<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/great-britain-in-line-to-challenge-french-400-medley-relay-at-europeans-medal-predictions\/>400 medley relay<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/home-crowd-looking-to-boost-paul-biedermann-to-200-free-euro-title-medal-predictions\/>200 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/rikke-moller-pedersen-without-peer-in-200-breast-at-european-championships-medal-predictions\/>200 breaststroke<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/mie-nielsen\/>50 backstroke<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/dana-vollmers-100-fly-world-record-in-sarah-sjostroms-sights-at-europeans-medal-predictions\/>100 butterfly<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/yannick-agnel-katinka-hosszu-leading-france-and-hungary-to-800-free-relay-euro-gold\/>800 freestyle relay<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo courtesy Mike Comer\/ProSwimVisuals.com Each day through August 17, Swimming World\u2019s Jeff Commings and David Rieder will offer medal predictions in the 19 swimming events on tap at the European<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":59103,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[17,7,10],"tags":[26830,29834,27560,39113,1054,27129,25129,26831,35247,42389,6302,27563,26820,19138,32185,26807,1084],"class_list":["post-105403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commentary","category-usa","category-world","tag-aimee-willmott","tag-eduardo-solaeche-gomez","tag-evelyn-verraszto","tag-femke-heemskerk","tag-gregg-troy","tag-joe-roebuck","tag-katinka-hosszu","tag-laszlo-cseh","tag-lisa-zaiser","tag-marcus-deibler","tag-michael-phelps","tag-mireia-belmonte-garcia","tag-roberto-pavoni","tag-ryan-lochte","tag-simon-sjodin","tag-sophie-allen","tag-university-of-florida"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
