SEVENTEEN year-old Hungarian Eva Rosztov cracked a European record set when she was just a year old and Germany&#39;s Thomas Rupprath earned two golds in just over 20 minutes to highlight the action at the European Short Course Championships today.<\/p>\n<p>The day also saw Austria&#39;s Mirnia Jukic, just six months after winning a Euro Junior title, take her second European Championship gold, as well as a tie between Martina Moravcova of Slovakia and Alena Popchanka of Belarus in the women&#39;s 100 meter freestyle.<\/p>\n<p>Risztov, 17, broke the near 16-year-old European mark in the women&#39;s 800m freestyle, erasing one of the last continental swimming records held by an East German and fittingly did it in a pool set up in an arena in the former Communist German state.<\/p>\n<p>Risztov, who won the 200 butterfly yesterday, took her second gold of the championships when she won a fine duel with defending champion Flavia Rigamonti of Switzerland and SMU, pulling away in the final 100 meters to touch in 8:14.72.<\/p>\n<p>That bettered the drug-aided European mark of 8:15.34 set by East German Astrid Strauss in 1987, when Risztov was barely walking. Risztov&#39;s time was the second-fastest in history, only behind Japan&#39;s Sachiko Yamada&#39;s WR set earlier this year.  Rigamonti finished<br \/>\nin 8:16.16, fifth fasstest all-time.  Germany&#39;s Hanna Stockbauer, world long-course champion in the 800 and 1500 freestyle, took the bronze in 8:20.92.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;That was my first European record and even the world record was under threat. At 700 meters I increased the pace again and felt that Rigamonti could not counter that,&quot; Risztov said.<\/p>\n<p>Rupprath, who has raced in three continents over the past three weeks, maintained his hectic pace with back-to-back wins in the 100 butterfly and 50 backstroke.<br \/>\nThe 25-year-old flew to victory in the men&#39;s 100 butterfly in 50.77 seconds to retain his title by nearly a second, then followed with a decisive win in the 50 back in 23.66..<\/p>\n<p>Rupprath was not going for records here, just the wins.  &quot;I planned the race to save strength at the start so as to have enough power on the last length,&quot; said Rupprath.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Emma Igelstrom, another globe-trotter, could not match Rupprath&#39;s stamina and finished a disappointing seventh in the 200m breast, an event in which she set the ER only last week.  That event went to 16 year-old Mirna Jukic, who won the European long course title in Berlin earlier this year.  The Austrian built a lead then hung oin to fend off a challenge from Sarah Poewe to win by 33-hundredths in a championship record 2:21.66.  Defending champion Anne Poleska of Germany (and Alabama) took the bronze this time, while Hungarian Olympic champion Agnes Kovacs finished fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Moravcova claimed her 13th gold medal in six European short-course championships when she shared victory with Popchanka in the 100 free, having previously won two silvers and three bronzes in the event.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;The time (53.66) wasn&#39;t so good but I love this position (first), even though I have to share it,&quot; said the Dallas-based Moravcova.<\/p>\n<p>(Last weekend Holland&#39;s Inky de Bruijn swam a 53.19 at a meet in Beaverton, Oregon.)<\/p>\n<p>Italy&#39;s Alessio Boggiatto won the men&#39;s 400 individual medley for the third year in a row and Oleg Lisogor defended his 100m breaststroke title.<\/p>\n<p>Antje Buschschulte gave Germany its first win of the day with a one-second victory in the women&#39;s 100m  backstroke.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden&#39;s Anna-Karin Kammerling led a one-two aSwedish finish in the 50m fly, then picked up another gold in Sweden&#39;s victorious 200m freestyle relay.<\/p>\n<p><b>EUROPEAN SHORT COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS<br \/>\nRiesa, Germany<br \/>\nDec. 12-15, 2002<\/p>\n<p>25 meter pool<\/p>\n<p>DAY TWO: December 13, 2002<\/p>\n<p>RESULTS<\/p>\n<p>MEN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>400 metres individual medley<br \/>\n1.
