Florine Gaspard & Roos Vanotterdijk Rewrite Belgian Record Books In Stockholm; Kyle Chalmers Continues Winning Streak<\/h4>\n

Florine Gaspard<\/strong> and Roos Vanotterdijk<\/strong> continued to rewrite the Belgian record books on the third day of the Swim Open Stockholm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Vanotterdijk set two new marks in as many days in the 50 back (27.81) and 100 fly (57.05). Next up was the 200IM which she entered with a PB of 2:14.24 that dated back to the Belgian Championships<\/strong> in 2023.<\/p>\n

However, the 20-year-old demolished that time to stop the clock in 2:13.22, 0.46 inside Fanny Lecluyse’s<\/strong> national record of 2:13.68 that was set in the semis at the 2011 World Championships<\/strong> in Shanghai.\u00a0Tamara Potock\u00e1<\/strong> was second in 2:15.76 with Hanna Bergmann<\/strong> going 2:16.90 for third.<\/p>\n

Gaspard then sped to 24.42 in the 50 free to lower her own national standard of 24.53 set at the Edinburgh International Meet<\/strong> last month. It sent her to the top of the rankings where she displaced Milou van Wijk<\/strong> of the Netherlands who’d gone 24.48 in the Scottish capital. Marrit Steenbergen<\/strong> was second in 24.79 with Angelina K\u00f6hler\u00a0<\/b>third in 24.82, a day after speeding to the 100 fly title.<\/p>\n

Chalmers Continues Winning Streak; Gose Prevails Once More<\/h3>\n

Kyle Chalmers<\/strong> has been scorching his way around Scandinavia of late and on Monday he paid a trip to the top of the podium once more.<\/p>\n

The Rio 2016 champion posted the fourth-fastest time of his career<\/a> at the Bergen Swim Festival<\/strong> earlier this month with a 47.27 world lead before firing off a 50 free PB<\/a> of 21.78.\u00a0The 26-year-old moved on to Stockholm where he became the fastest Australian in textile<\/a> and second overall in the 50 fly when he posted a huge PB of 22.89. Only\u00a0Matthew Targett<\/strong> has gone quicker among Australians with a national record of 22.73 that secured silver at the 2009 World Championships<\/strong> and still stands as an Oceania standard today.<\/p>\n

He was in the water on Monday morning for the 100 free prelims where he headed the standings in 48.37 before returning in the evening where a 24.67 second 50 propelled him past Josha<\/strong> Salchow<\/strong> and into the wall in 48.03. Salchow – whose German record stands at 47.80 – was second in 48.30 with Heiko Gigler<\/strong> third in 48.63.<\/p>\n

Isabel Gose<\/strong> prevailed in a stroke-for-stroke battle with Moesha Johnson<\/strong> in the 1500 on the opening night when Lukas M\u00e4rtens’\u00a0<\/b>WR dominated proceedings.<\/p>\n

The pair – who train together in Magdeburg – once again found themselves locked into a battle in the 400 although the German – who won world bronze in Doha last year – was1.71secs ahead by the halfway point. Gose extended her advantage to stop the clock in 4:04.95 with Olympic 10k silver medallist Johnson second in 4:09.17 with Celine Rieder<\/strong> third in 4:12.68.<\/p>\n

Masiuk Clinches Backstroke Treble<\/h3>\n

Ksawery Masiuk<\/strong> completed the backstroke clean sweep with a clear win in the 100. The two-time world 50 back bronze medallist led from start to finish, splitting 25.58\/27.51 to stop the clock in 53.09 which weighs as the ninth swiftest of his young career. It followed his titles in the 50 (24.71) and 200 (1:58.46). M\u00e4rtens was back in the water to take second in 54.18, adding silver to his 400 WR and 200 gold with\u00a0Samuel T\u00f6rnqvist<\/strong> third in 55.03.<\/p>\n

Kotryna Teterevkova<\/strong> of Lithuania won the women’s 200m breaststroke in 2:24.16, matching the time in which she won bronze at the 2022 European Championships<\/strong> in Rome. Krist\u00fdna Horsk\u00e1\u00a0<\/b>– winner of the continental title last year in Belgrade – was second in 2:26.08 with Olivia Klint Ipsa<\/strong> – second over 50m on Sunday – was third in 2:29.53.<\/p>\n

Estella Llum Tonrath Nollgen<\/strong> came from 0.65 down at the final turn to come past long-time leader\u00a0Laura Bernat<\/strong> and take the 200 back title in 2:10.29 to 2:10.41. Lise Seidel<\/strong> was third in 2:11.23.<\/p>\n

Kieran Smith<\/strong> of the United States enjoyed a comprehensive victory in the 400IM in 4:15.10 with Richard Nagy<\/strong> (4:19.99) and Thomas Jansen<\/strong> (4:26.77) following him home.<\/p>\n

Adrian Jaskiewicz<\/strong> of Poland led throughout to win the men’s 200 fly in 1:57.50 ahead of Casper Puggaard<\/strong> who upgraded shared bronze in the 50 to silver over four lengths in 1:58.49 with\u00a0Samuel Ko\u0161\u0165\u00e1l<\/strong> coming home fast in 1:58.99.<\/p>\n
