We invite you to offer your picks in our comments section below!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Commentary by Jeff Commings<\/i><\/p>\n<p>PHOENIX, Arizona, August 12. The European championships will feature the 800 and 1500 for women, giving distance swimmers an extra event and the opportunity to test their mettle in the non-Olympic 1500 distance.<\/p>\n<p>Just as Katie Ledecky is <a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/pan-pacific-championships-picking-the-medals-in-distance-freestyle\/>the prohibitive favorite in the distance events at the Pan Pacific championships<\/a>, so too is Lotte Friis in the European championships. The Dane is the second-fastest performer in history behind Ledecky in the 1500 and the third-fastest in history in the 800.<\/p>\n<p>Friis moved to the United States last winter to train with the North Baltimore Aquatic Club\u2019s elite squad, and European championships is her first true test. I\u2019m not sure if Friis will be able to match her spectacular time from last year\u2019s world championships in the 1500, but should still be motivated to post one of the 10 fastest times in history.<\/p>\n<p>Friis will be pushed a bit in the 800 by Spain\u2019s Mireia Belmonte and Great Britain\u2019s Jazz Carlin. If Belmonte and Carlin can match Friis\u2019 pace in the opening 400, there could be a serious race for gold. Carlin\u2019s big question mark is how physically prepared will she be after swimming fast at the Commonwealth Games?<\/p>\n<p>Those will be the three swimmers on the distance freestyle medal podium. No one else on the European continent stands a chance against these three heavyweights.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Women\u2019s distance freestyle medal predictions:<br \/>\n800:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Lotte Friis, Denmark<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Jazz Carlin, Great Britain<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Mireia Belmonte, Spain<\/p>\n<p><b>1500:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Lotte Friis, Denmark<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Mireia Belmonte, Spain<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Jazz Carlin, Great Britain<\/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<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/the-battle-of-the-century-hosszu-vs-oconnor-in-200-im-at-european-championships\/>200 individual medley<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 Championships, which begins August<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":58217,"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":[3,17,10],"tags":[25313,25031,25029,32011,2310],"class_list":["post-105602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-commentary","category-world","tag-fina-world-aquatics-championships","tag-katie-ledecky","tag-lotte-friis","tag-mireia-belmonte","tag-north-baltimore-aquatic-club"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
