DODRECHT, The Netherlands, July 11. ANOTHER handful of world-class swims were produced at the European Junior Championships in The Netherlands tonight. <\/p>\n
Hungary’s Tamas Kenderesi blasted his way into the top 15 in the world in the men’s 200-meter fly with a sterling 1:56.74 in the event. That swim pushed him to 15th overall in the SwimVortex world rankings, just ahead of Yuki Kobori’s 16th-ranked 1:56.85 from the Australian Aquatic Super Series earlier this year. Switzerland’s Nils Liess had paced Kenderesi throughout the first 150 meters, trailing just 1:26.37 to 1:26.74, but Kenderesi had way more in the tank with Liess placing second in 1:58.51. Germany’s Alexander Kunert grabbed third overall in 1:58.92. <\/p>\n
Russia’s 15-year-old backstroke sensation Daria K Ustinova blasted the women’s 50-meter back finale in 28.18. That swim matched her 10th-ranked season best from Russian Nationals. She’s the second-fastest teenager in the world in the event with Mie Nielsen, 17, in second in the rankings with a 27.76 from the Eindhover Swim Cup. Russia’s Maria Kameneva placed second in 28.48 to move up to 18th in the world, while Croatia’s Ema Sarar placed third in 29.18. <\/p>\n
Poland’s Jan Holub clipped Germany’s Damian Wierling for the men’s 100-meter freestyle title, 49.49 to 49.57. Meanwhile, Hungary’s Peter Holoda rounded out the top three in 49.74. Russia went 1-2 in the women’s 200-meter breaststroke. Maria Astashkina won in 2:26.61 with teammate Daria Chikunova placing second in 2:27.78. Great Britain’s Emma Cain wrapped up the top three in 2:29.17. <\/p>\n
Great Britain’s Duncan Scott continued to be one of the most well-rounded swimmers here at the EJC meet with a 2:01.57 to win the men’s 200-meter IM. Hungary’s Norbert Szabo (2:02.00) and Ben Gratz (2:02.21) finished second and third in the medley finale. <\/p>\n
Although Israel’s Itay Goldfaden had the fastest men’s 50-meter breaststroke of the day with a 28.30 in semis, he couldn’t replicate that swim in the finale with a seventh-place 28.86. Belarus’ Stanislau Pazdzeyeu picked up the title at night with a 28.34, while Poland’s Krzysztof Tokarski took second in 28.57. Russia’s Anton Chupkov placed third in 28.60. <\/p>\n
Germany’s Henning Muehlleitner (1:51.14), Konstantin (1:51.16), Damian Wierling (1:49.29) and Alexander Kunert (1:49.66) won the men’s 800-meter free relay in 7:21.25, while Russia’s Daria K Ustinova (1:00.25), Alexandra Chesnokova (1:00.89), Maria Astashkina (1:07.60) and Arina Openysheva (56.90) dominated the women’s 400-meter medley relay with a 4:05.64. <\/p>\n
Italy’s Simona Quadarella won the women’s 1500-meter freestyle finale with a 16:30.37, while Spain’s Laura Rodriguez Cao took second in 16:34.04. Hungary’s Melinda Novoszath earned third-place honors in 16:42.65. <\/p>\n
In semifinal action, Russia’s Arina Openysheva continued her tear on the meet with a 2:00.67 for the top seed in the women’s 200-meter free. Teammate Daria Mullakaeva qualified second in 2:00.88. Greece’s Apostolos Christou, who has set the World Junior Record in the 100-meter back already this week, led men’s 200-meter back semis with a 1:59.77. Great Britain’s Amelia Clynes and Slovakia’s Barbora Misendova then tied for the top spot in the women’s 100-meter fly semis with a 1:00.29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
