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 13. IT\u2019S a shame that Ruta Meilutyte won\u2019t be swimming the 100 breast at the European championships. The Lithuanian world record holder will be at the Youth Olympics, reportedly choosing China over Germany to swim her tapered 100 breast.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s Yuliya Efimova\u2019s doping suspension, which keeps her out of racing until February. So, the reigning world champion and runner-up will not be in Berlin. That dilutes the field, but it\u2019s still looking like a strong group of ladies contending for the title.<\/p>\n<p>Rikke Pedersen, the 200 breast world record holder, appears to have a clear path to gold, but Great Britain\u2019s Sophie Taylor is on an upswing after winning gold at the Commonwealth Games. What\u2019s riding in Pedersen\u2019s favor is her sub-1:06 from last year\u2019s worlds to place fourth (behind American Jessica Hardy). The Dane is likely to break 1:06 in Berlin, but Taylor might also have the motivation to go under the barrier if she can match Pedersen\u2019s endurance. Sweden\u2019s Jennie Johansson will have the opening speed as well, but might falter in the closing meters.<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s Marina Garcia was a finalist at worlds in the 100 breast and after a year of training at UC-Berkeley, she might find something in the tank to stay with the leaders. She likes the 200 breast, so her concern will be the first 50 meters.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Women\u2019s 100 breast medal predictions:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Rikke Pedersen, Denmark<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Sophie Taylor, Great Britain<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Jennie Johansson, Sweden\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Last year\u2019s fourth-place finish in the 100 breaststroke at worlds likely motivated Damir Dugonjic to train harder to turn that into European championships gold. As the top European finisher at worlds, Dugonjic appeared to be on the brink of European gold in the 100 to go along with the 50 breast win he posted in 2012.<\/p>\n<p>But at least six people are in Dugonjic\u2019s way, which presents the makings of a great final. Great Britain\u2019s Adam Peaty is the heavy favorite after taking gold last month at the Commonwealth Games. If he can hold on to a second taper and go under 59 seconds, the gold medal is his. Teammate Ross Murdoch didn\u2019t perform as expected at Commonwealths but will be looking to redeem himself next week.<\/p>\n<p>Another star Lithuanian swimmer, Giedrius Titenis, has the potential to win his first European championships medal after a stunning 59.75 at the Sette Colli meet in Italy recently. That is light years behind Peaty, but in a field that is likely to include three or four others in the 59-second range, the \u201cperfect race\u201d could get Titenis on the podium.<\/p>\n<p>Two Germans will also be in the mix. Hendrik Feldwehr and Marco Koch are on the cusp of taking a medal, but Koch is the dark horse as a 200 breast specialist. Also looking to earn a medal will be Hungary\u2019s Daniel Gyurta. With the decision to step away briefly from the 200 breast, Gyurta could be working on the speed he needs to get into the medals for the sprint event.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Men\u2019s 100 breast medal predictions:<br \/>\nGold:<\/b> Adam Peaty, Great Britain<br \/>\n<b>Silver:<\/b> Ross Murdoch, Great Britain<br \/>\n<b>Bronze:<\/b> Giedrius Titenis, Lithuania<\/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<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/lotte-friis-looking-to-reign-supreme-in-womens-distance-free-at-european-championships\/>Women&#8217;s 800 and 1500 freestyles<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=http:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/stacked-fields-in-store-for-400-free-finals-at-european-championships-medal-predictions\/>400 freestyle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo by Joao Marc Bosch 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<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":47256,"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":[26806,28335,35434,34446,25034,28339,26652,25427,35297,25311],"class_list":["post-106012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured","category-commentary","category-world","tag-adam-peaty","tag-giedrius-titenis","tag-hendrik-feldwehr","tag-jennie-johansson","tag-jessica-hardy","tag-marco-koch","tag-marina-garcia","tag-ross-murdoch","tag-sophie-taylor","tag-yuliya-efimova"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
