Arno Kamminga<\/strong> is a man with the Tokyo podium in his sights after he went 58.18 in the 100 breaststroke and Hugo Gonzalez<\/strong> climbed to second in the 200IM rankings in 1:56.31 at the Mare Nostrum<\/strong> in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Yulia Efimova<\/strong> completed a clean sweep of the breaststroke events with victory in the 50 and 200, the latter in 2:21.86.<\/p>\n

The Netherlands swimmer went 2:07.23<\/a> in the 200 on Saturday after winning the 50 in 27.06 and he returned to the Club Natacio San Andreu<\/strong> on Sunday morning to post 58.47 in the prelims.<\/p>\n
Come the evening and the European silver medallist – who became only the second man to go through the 58 barrier when he went 57.90<\/a> in April – split 27.18\/31.00 to record a time only he and world record-holder Adam Peaty<\/strong> have bettered.<\/p>\n
It came a day after Peaty went 58.22<\/a> in morning finals at the British Swimming Glasgow Meet<\/strong> and was 0.08 outside the time in which Kamminga claimed his first international long-course medal in Budapest.<\/p>\n
While the Olympic champion owns the top four times this year, Kamminga holds the next three.<\/p>\n
Christopher Rothbauer<\/strong> of Austria was 2.65 behind in second in 1:00.83 with Gonzalo Carazo Barbero<\/strong> third (1:01.81).<\/p>\n
Hugo Gonzalez Rattles Rankings Again<\/h3>\n $\"hugo$

Gonzalez has been tearing up European waters and Spanish record books in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard won the continental title last month<\/a> with a charge at the death to overhaul defending champion Jeremy Desplanches<\/strong> in a national record of 1:56.76.<\/p>\n
There was also silver in the 100 back and bronze over 50 in a national record of 24.47.<\/p>\n
Come Sunday and the 22-year-old split 25.28\/54.87\/1:28.55 and came home in 27.76 to lower his own mark by 0.45.<\/p>\n
With that he leapfrogged Mitch Larkin<\/strong>, who swam 1:56.74 in April, to go second behind Duncan Scott<\/strong> in the rankings, the Briton having gone 1:55.90 at the national trials.<\/p>\n
It was also a Mare Nostrum record, lowering the 1:56.82 set by Japanese 400IM Olympic champion Kosuke Hagino<\/strong> exactly 10 years ago to the day.<\/p>\n
Alexis Santos<\/strong> was 4.37 adrift in second in 2:00.68 with Arjan Knipping<\/strong> third (2:00.92).<\/p>\n
Yulia Efimova Sweeps The Titles<\/h3>\n
Efimova is only scheduled to race the 100 breaststroke in Tokyo having failed to qualify in the longer event.<\/p>\n
However, she is on fine form and her time was better than the 2:21.86 with which she claimed European bronze.<\/p>\n
The Russian split 33.75\/1:09.58\/1:45.37 before coming home in 36.49, the only sub-37 in the field<\/p>\n
Jessica Vall<\/strong> was second in 2:24.68, 0.29 ahead of Marina Garcia Urzainqui<\/strong> (2:24.97).<\/p>\n

Barbora Seemanova<\/strong> won the 200 free in 1:58.03,\u00a0Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> clinched the 400IM in 4:40.34 ahead of Rio silver medallist Mireia Belmonte<\/strong> (4:42.17) and Maria Mata Cocco<\/strong> took the 100 fly in 59.74.<\/p>\n
