Blume had gone 24.09 to win the 50 on Tuesday in a race in which Sjostrom – recovering from elbow surgery and rehab – was third.<\/p>\n
The Dane, who will defend her 50 crown in Tokyo next month, went out in 25.79 – the only sub-26 of the field – and came back in 28.01 for a clear win.<\/p>\n
Del Campo claimed her second silver of the night in 54.52 with Sjsotrom next home in 54.84.<\/p>\n
There was however no Therese Alshammar<\/strong> with the three-time Olympic medallist, who is looking to qualify for her seventh Games, not progressing from prelims and finishing eighth in the B final.<\/p>\n
Grousset – fifth at the Europeans in Budapest – split 23.59\/24.98 to win by 0.84 over Cristian Quintero Valero<\/strong> (49.41).<\/p>\n
Efimova won the 50 breaststroke in 30.58 in the opening race of the evening before returning for the 200.<\/p>\n
The Russian – who failed to qualify for Tokyo in the four-length event – was fifth at 100 before a third 50 of 36.63 saw her move through to first and she eventually enjoyed a comfortable victory in 2:24.85.<\/p>\n
Jessica Vall<\/strong> was 1.29secs behind in 2:26.14 for second with Kristyna Horska<\/strong> third in 2:26.85.<\/p>\n
European bronze medallist Erik Persson<\/strong> of Sweden won the men’s race by almost five seconds in 2:09.58.<\/p>\n

Back To The Future For Ndoye Brouard; Gold For Le Clos & Hosszu<\/h3>\n
European joint bronze medallist Yohann Ndoye Brouard<\/strong> was 0.58 adrift of leader Mewen Tomac<\/strong> at halfway in the 100 back but a second 50 of 27.17 propelled him past his France team-mate to win in 53.57.<\/p>\n

Tomac, who was 0.03 off the podium to finish fifth at the Europeans in Budapest, was second in 53.86.<\/p>\n
The women’s race followed a similar pattern as\u00a0Pauline Mahieu<\/strong> made up a deficit of 0.39 at halfway to move from third to first in 1:01.89, 0.01 ahead of second-placed Rafaela Azevedo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
Le Clos went out in 24.93 in the 200 fly with no other swimmer even nearing a sub-26 first 50.<\/p>\n
By halfway, the 2012 Olympic champion’s lead over second-placed Alexei Sancov\u00a0<\/strong>of Moldova was 1.60 seconds and come the final touch, Le Clos stopped the clock at 1:56.00, adding to Tuesday’s 100 fly title.<\/p>\n
Sancov, who reached the semis at the Europeans, was second in 1:58.63 with Joan Lluis Pons Ramon<\/strong> of Spain third in 2:00.01.<\/p>\n
Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> won the women’s 400IM in 4:41.98 after a customary busy schedule which had seen her pick up double gold and a silver in the space of 53 minutes on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Ahmed-Ayoub Hafnaoui<\/strong> added the 800 to his 400 free title in 7:55.26 ahead of France’s Logan Fontaine<\/strong> (7:57.25) while Kregor Zirk<\/strong> continued his record-breaking run by slicing an almighty 25.24secs off his own Estonian mark of 8:23.12 from March 2015 in 7:57.88.<\/p>\n
That followed his 200 free on Tuesday when he lowered the national mark<\/a> he set during the first leg in Monaco.<\/p>\n

Barbora Seemanova<\/strong> won the 400 free in 4:11.90 and Ana Monteiro<\/strong> took the 200 fly in 2:09.92 – in which Hosszu was fourth in 2:16.73 with her 400IM to come 30 minutes later –<\/p>\n
