The Danish Swimming Federation of Denmark has selected the squad to compete for World Championship medals in Kazan in August.<\/p>\n
There will be 12 Danish swimmers participating in the World Swimming Championships when they get underway in the Russian city of Kazan from August 2<\/p>\n
It is a very strong and experienced squad who will be competing for medal and final positions in a wide range of events. Lars Green Bach, the Danish Swimming Federation\u201fs High Performance Manager, has expectations for a number of medals for the Danish squad.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u201fs a relatively large Danish World Championship team and a squad where many of the swimmers have a good solid experience from previous World Championships. Swimmers like Jeanette Ottesen, Rikke M\u00f8ller Pedersen and Lotte Friis have all previously won individual medals on the World Championship stage, and Mads Gl\u00e6sner, Mie \u00d8stergaard Nielsen, Pernille Blume and Viktor Bromer are swimmers with significant international experience. It\u201fs a strong foundation for our chances in the Volga city\u201d, says High Performance Manager Lars Green Bach and continues:<\/p>\n
\u201cOur overall aim is an ambitious five medals in 10-12 finals. It is a realistic aim with the potential that the Danish swimmers have but nothing happens by itself and this places great demands on us all. The swimmers and coaches are working extremely hard every day to optimise both the big and the finer swimming details and in many areas this work is carried out with valuable assistance from Team Denmark\u201fs experts. We want to be the best prepared we can possibly be in order that we can take up the fight against the top-flight international competitors in Kazan.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition 5 swimmers have been subjectively selected in order to pursue special relay perspectives.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sports Department has chosen to select Julie Levisen for the women\u201fs 4 x 100 free which is a strong team and who we believe could be in the running for medals against the likes of the U.S.A., Australia, the Netherlands, Great Britain, and Sweden\u201d said High Performance Manager Lars Green Bach .\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have also subjectively selected the men\u201fs 4 x 200 free relay because we think that this squad have the potential to secure an Olympic \u201equota\u201f place \u2013 which is to finish in the top 12 positions in the discipline at the World Championships, and that this would give us a subsequent final potential at the Olympics in Rio next summer\u201d conclude High Performance Manager Lars Green Bach finally.<\/p>\n
Below is the squad that we can look forward to following when swimming\u201fs major international highpoint of 2015 begins.<\/p>\n
