In seven of them, the big favorites prevailed. The only exception: the women&#8217;s 50m freestyle. <strong>Angelina K\u00f6hler<\/strong> raced to the top. The 18-year-old Hannoverian set the best mark after 25.42 seconds and narrowly directed the Dutch <strong>Valerie van Roon<\/strong> (25.46) and <strong>Jessica Felsner<\/strong> (SC Aqua Cologne, <strong>25.48<\/strong>) on the other medal ranks.<\/p>\n<p>In quick 22.12 seconds, <strong>Damian Wierling<\/strong> (SG Essen) defended his title over 50m freestyle. It was his third individual title in this Championship. Silver went to the Egyptian <strong>Ali Khalafalla<\/strong> (22.41) ahead of <strong>Thom de Boer<\/strong> (22.60) from the Netherlands.<\/p>\n<p>National title number two went to\u00a0<strong>Alexandra Wenk<\/strong> (SG Stadtwerke M\u00fcnchen) in the 200 IM in 2:14.60 in the 200m IM. Next to her on the podium were <strong>Marie Pietruschka<\/strong> (SSG Leipzig, 2:15,03) and <strong>Franziska Weidner<\/strong> (SG Mittelfranken, 2:15.95).<\/p>\n<p>As expected, <strong>Philip Heintz<\/strong> won gold among the men. In 2:00.88, he beat the Egyptian <strong>Mohamed Samy<\/strong> (2:01.05) who finished second. Third place went to<strong> Paul Hentschel<\/strong> (SC Chemnitz, 2:02.95).<\/p>\n<p>Defending champion in the 200 back\u00a0<strong>Lisa Graf<\/strong>, won gold from the pool of the SSE in 2:10.39 over 200m back, also lived up to her favorite role. Behind Neuk\u00f6llner, <strong>Jenny Mensing<\/strong> (SC Wiesbaden, 2:11.33) and <strong>Sonnele \u00d6zt\u00fcrk<\/strong> (Wasserfreunde Spandau 04, 2:12.62) took second and third place respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The next title defense followed directly in the next race. Here there was no passing by <strong>Christian Diener<\/strong> for the competition. The Potsdam won 1:59.19 &#8220;controlled&#8221; and thanks to a final spurt ahead of <strong>Andreas Wiesner<\/strong> (SG Stadtwerke M\u00fcnchen, 1:59.77) and <strong>Ole Braunschweig<\/strong> (SG Neuk\u00f6lln, 2:00.47). It was the third title for servants in Berlin.<\/p>\n<p>Over 1500m freestyle two European Championships medal contenders secured the title in a sovereign manner. <strong>Florian Wellbrock<\/strong> (SC Magdeburg, 15:08.45) won by a wide margin in the men ahead of Junior Champion <strong>Christian Keber<\/strong> (TV Wetzlar, 15:35.20) and <strong>Niklas Frach<\/strong> (SSG Saar Max Ritter, 15:57.08).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah K\u00f6hler<\/strong> (SG Frankfurt, 16:06.82) scored with even greater advantage to gold. Silver including junior gold went to <strong>Josephine Tesch<\/strong> (Berliner TSC, 16:54.90), bronze to <strong>Celine Rieder<\/strong> (Neckarsulm Sport-Union, 17:09.58).<\/p>\n<p><em>The above press release was posted by Swimming World in conjunction with German Swimming.
