European Championships: Day 3 – Prelims: Katinka Hosszu Misses 400IM Final Under Two-Per-Nation Rule<\/h3>\n

Katinka Hosszu’s bid for 100 international medals will have to wait a little longer after she failed to qualify for the 400IM final under the two-per-nation rule at the European Championships.<\/p>\n

The Hungarian first reached the European podium in the long medley when she won silver in Eindhoven in 2008 and she subsequently claimed three straight golds in 2012, 2014 and 2016.<\/p>\n

She didn’t compete in the event in 2018 but returned in Budapest last year to take her fourth title.<\/p>\n

However, Hungary teammates Vikfor Mihalyvari Farkas (4:41.01) and Zsuzsanna Jakabos (4:41.30) filled the top two slots in qualifying, meaning Hosszu would not advance, days after moving on to 97 medals and within three of her target of 100.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Noe Ponti led the way in what promises to be an exciting 100 fly but there was no sign of Arno Kamminga in the 200 breaststroke heats, the morning after he finished seventh in the 100.<\/p>\n
