Little was known of Hosszu’s form but the Olympic champion left no-one in any doubt that she is intent on winning a fourth title.<\/p>\n

Hosszu, who didn’t compete in this event last time out in Glasgow, was one of only two women to go sub-4:40 as she led throughout her heat to touch in 4:37.42.<\/p>\n

Fellow Hungarians Viktoria Mihalyuari<\/strong> (4:38.07) and Boglarka Kapas<\/strong> (4:40.3) were second and third-swiftest overall but with the two-per-nation rule, the latter misses out.<\/p>\n

Aimee Willmott<\/strong>, in her final European Championships, was third through in 4:40.19.<\/p>\n

Given Sarah Sjostrom<\/strong>‘s absence as she recovers from the effects of a broken elbow and subsequent surgery, there will be a new champion in this event.<\/p>\n
Ranomi Kromowidjojo<\/strong> looked intent on upgrading from her bronze from Glasgow 2018 as she unleashed a time of 24.24, beaming as she looked up at the scoreboard.<\/p>\n
Olympic champion Pernille Blume<\/strong> – who claimed silver last time out – was second in 24.42 with Maria Kameneva<\/strong> booking safe passage through to the semis in 24.47.<\/p>\n

Peaty, Kamminga, Shymanovich and Martinenghi are the four fastest men in history with James Wilby<\/strong> sitting joint fifth alongside 2012 Olympic champion Cameron van der Burgh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Shymanovich was the first of the big hitters to go in the fifth heat, sandwiched between 2015 broze medallist Ross Murdoch<\/strong> and 200br world record holder Anton Chupkov<\/strong>, the Belarus swimmer split 27.10 for the first 50.<\/p>\n
He came home in 58.46 to set the tone.<\/p>\n
Kamminga and Wilby were side by side in the next heat and the Netherlands swimmer was first at halfway in 27.31 before touching in 59.09 ahead of the Briton whose time of 59.55 saw him through in ninth.<\/p>\n
Up next was Peaty but it was Martinenghi who turned first in 27.13, 0.06 ahead.<\/p>\n
Peaty though moved up a gear and pulled slightly ahead to touch first in 58.26, a long glide into the wall, and with a smile on his face and fist bump for the Italian alongside him who stopped the clock in 58.88.<\/p>\n
Peaty said:<\/p>\n
“Really smooth heat. Obviously coming here with pretty much no rest and shaved down to try and get a good feel for the water but good heat.<\/p>\n
“No emotion, see what we get tonight then move it on for the final as always.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Netherlands – resting Kromwidjojo and Femke Heemskerk – led the way into Monday’s final in 3:38.20 ahead of Denmark, without Blume, in 3:38.88 and Great Britain who clocked 3:39.08.<\/p>\n
Federica Pellegrini<\/strong> produced a mighty-swift morning swim of 53.74 – the fastest in the entire field – to ensure Italy booked a berth.<\/p>\n

Quadarella was in a world of her own as she went 8:26.73 to head the field into Tuesday’s final by more than five seconds.<\/p>\n
The world silver medallist had a lead of four body-lengths at halfway and on this form, it will be a real shock if the Italian doesn’t retain her title from Glasgow.<\/p>\n
