Fifteen-year-old Vivien Jackl<\/strong> went second in the 400IM rankings as she all but booked her ticket to Paris 2024 at the Hungarian Championships.<\/p>\n The teenager, who won the European junior title in Belgrade last year, went 4:34.98 as she followed in the footsteps of former Hungarian medley greats, three-time Olympic champion\u00a0Katinka Hosszu<\/strong> yet to make the cut for Paris.<\/p>\n It was well within the qualification time of 4:38.53 and broke the Hungarian age group records at both 16 and 17, the latter having been set by \u00c9va Risztov<\/strong> en-route to silver at the 2002 European Championships in Berlin.<\/p>\n She won’t however be confirmed on the Olympic team until the qualification period ends on 23 June, the final day of the European Championships in Belgrade.<\/p>\n Her coach, M\u00e1rta Kocsis, was lost for words, saying: “We wanted the level, I wrote 4:37.8 in my notebook, I thought it would be 4:37.5 in a good case… Where did that come from… I don’t know… I still have to look back at the race. I watched, but I couldn’t see how it came together…”<\/p>\n Her time, also a European junior record, elevates Jackl to second in the 2024 rankings behind Freya Colbert<\/strong>, the Doha world champion who went 4:34.01 at the British trials last week.<\/p>\n Boglarka Kapas<\/strong> was 0.39 outside the cut in 4:38.92 with Viktoria Mihalyvari<\/strong> next home in 4:39.43 and Hosszu fifth in 4:47.62.<\/p>\n
