Seeman in the European Championship final with a record and a limit

Seeman slipped into the battle for the medal, which breaks out on Tuesday at 19.22, in the last place, reducing the time needed for Tokyo by eight hundredths. She moved the original record by almost half a second during the day and was the first Czech to swim 50 meters crawl under 25 seconds twice. “It’s a magical frontier, because it’s always hard to get under a second. I knew I had it, but I had no idea that I would move so much, “she said contentedly after the opening day of the European Championships.

Other Czech competitors reached in vain for the advance from the heats. Ondřej Gemov was still satisfied with the improved personal record by more than two seconds on the crawl foursome. “I fly fast times during training, but I feel badly emotionally. But it was different during the race, “remarked the early 22-year-old racer. The talented Jan Čejka was only a hundredth of a second apart from the semifinals of the character’s 50.

Kolesnikov in a world record

For the incredible 64th gold medal from the top event, the Hungarian national heroine Katinka Hosszúová swam in the first final discipline of the championship. The 32-year-old matador dominated the 400-meter position race and became the European champion in the long pool for the fifteenth time.

And during the first day in the Budapest Dune Arena, the value of the world record fell. Russian swimmer Kliment Kolesnikov shone with a new maximum, improving his own maximum to 23.93 seconds in the semifinals of 50 meters. The 20-year-old supertalent broke his own record performance from the 2018 European Championships in Glasgow by seven hundredths and will have another chance to improve in Tuesday’s final.
