European Championships, Day 3 Finals: Kliment Kolesnikov Wins 100 Free In CR 47.37; Gold For Romanchuk & Hansson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kliment Kolesnikov<\/strong> claimed his third gold of the meet in the 100 free in a championship record of 47.37 and Sophie Hansson<\/strong> won the 100 breaststroke as defending champion Yulia Efimova<\/strong> was locked out of the podium at the European Championships<\/strong> in Budapest.<\/p>\n

Kristof Milak<\/strong> thundered to the second-fastest 200 fly in history in 1:51.10 to claim gold ahead of Federico Burdisso<\/strong> and Tamas Kenderesi<\/strong> of which more here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kolesnikov took 0.13 off Alain Bernard’<\/strong>s championship mark 0f 47.50 from Eindhoven in 2008 with defending champion Alessandro Miressi<\/strong> also inside the Frenchman’s old mark in an Italian record of 47.45 as Andrei Minakov<\/strong> made it a Russian one-three.<\/p>\n

However, there was a huge shock when Kolesnikov returned less than 15 minutes later for the 100 back semis and failed to make the final.<\/p>\n

Hansson matched the Swedish record of 1:05.69 she set in the semis for gold ahead of Italian pair Arianna Castiglioni<\/strong> – who came from eighth at halfway – and Martina Carraro<\/strong> with Efimova fourth.<\/p>\n

Mykhaylo Romanchuk<\/strong> won the 1500 free to snap a streak of second-place finishes in the longest event in the pool, his joy evident as he sat on the lane ropes and beat the water.<\/p>\n

Behind him, Olympic champion Gregorio Paltrinieri<\/strong> and Domenico Acerenza<\/strong> claimed an Italian two-three.<\/p>\n

Russia<\/strong> won the men’s 4×200 free relay in a championship record 7:03.48 ahead of Britain<\/strong> and Italy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

European record-holder Kira Toussaint<\/strong> won the 50 back in 27.36 ahead of Britain’s Kathleen Dawson <\/strong>(27.46) with Maaike de Waard<\/strong> making it a Netherlands one-three in 27.74.<\/p>\n
