phelps 6,770 Posted July 5, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Yesterday in Day #1 there were no particularly surprising clockings, despite people like Kristof Milak or Ajna Kesely or Kliment Kolesnikov at the start of many races... Yesterday's Gold medals went to: Women's 400m IM: Ajna Kesely, 4.41.55 Men's 400m Freestyle: Kristof Milak, 3.50.00 Men's 50m Fly: Andrei Minakov, 23.56 Women's 50m Breastroke: Tatiana Belonogoff, 31.29 Women's 800m Freestyle: Ajna Kesely, 8.30.43 Men's 4*100m Free Relay: Russia, 3.18.21 Women's 4*100m Free Realy: Russia, 3.43.03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted July 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2018 At the moment, Lithuania is looking sub-par in these championships. Alanas Tautkus qualified in the semi of 100m. backstroke and Kotryna Teterevkova nearly made it in the final of 50m. breaststroke and qualified to this evening's 200m. breaststroke semifinal. Every other athlete went out in the first round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,127 Posted July 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Ooh, Kotryna Teterevkova swam into the final of 200m. Breaststroke in second place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,770 Posted July 5, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted July 5, 2018 just another ordinary day in Tampere... only 3 CR broken and no "adult" times, even by a guy like Kolesnikov... no comment on the absolute disaster performed by Italy...almost nobody is even getting close to the expectations (and their PBs) so far, especially the supposed "big guns"... Today's Champions: Men's 100m Backstroke: Kliment Kolesnikov tied with Daniel-Cristian Martin, 53.52 Women's 400m Free: Ajna Kesely, 4.05.89 Women's 200m Fly: Blanka Berecz, 2.10.06 Women's 100m Free: Freya Anderson, 54.65 Men's 200m Breastroke: Alexandr Zhigalov, 2.12.47 (which is the same time clocked by Alessandro Fusco, today only 5th, in yesterday's semifinals ) Women's 200m Backstroke: Anastasia Avdeeva, 2.09.56 Men's 1500m Free: Akos Kalmar, 15.04.91 Mixed 4*100m Free Realy: Russia, 3.28.74 in the medal table, so far we have only 4 Countries capable of winning Gold: Russia with 7, Hungary with 6, Great Britain with 2 and Romania with "only" 1 (and tied with another guy)...all the rest of Europe is still missing...

phelps 6,770 Posted July 6, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 6, 2018 it's destiny...this year the EJC do not have the quality we've seen in the past in this event, at least at the top (in any case, 3 CR were broken, 2 of them in individual races)... however, today we have the best performance of the championships so far, even if a super-talent like Milak is still well above his own standard... the champions of day #3: Men's 200m Fly: Kristof Milak, 1.53.94 Women's 200m Breastroke: Anastasia Makarova, 2.26.29 Men's 100m Freestyle: Tomer Frankel, 49.23 Men's 200m IM: Thomas Dean, 1.59.17 Women's 50m Backstroke: Daria Vaskina, 27.90 Men's 50m Breastroke: Vladislav Gerasimenko, 28.03 Women's 1500m Freestyle: Ajna Kesely, 16.21.19 Men's 4*200m Free Relay: Israel, 7.16.28 Women's 4*100m Medley Relay: Great Britain, 4.02.48 in the medal table, Russia widen their lead with 10 Golds, Hungary follow with 8, GBR try to keep the pace and jump to 4, meanwhile Israel make their entry in style with 2 Gold medals in a single session (and Denis Loktev seems to be the big favourite in the men's individual 200m free, after being the only swimmer capable of 1.47.x in the first leg of today's relay)...

Werloc 3,127 Posted July 6, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) First medal for Lithuania from Kotryna Teterevkova in 200m. breaststroke. Last time we won a medal it was in 2015. Not to mention that her result in semifinal was close to Rūta Meilutytė's NR. Edited July 6, 2018 by Werloc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,770 Posted July 7, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted July 7, 2018 just another ordinary day in Tampere, but with some exciting races despite the not so amazing clockings (except for Kolesnikov's show on both the 200m and, above all, the 50m Back) and another event with 2 swimmers tied for Gold... Today's champions: Men's 200m Backstroke: Kliment Kolesnikov, 1.55.83 Women's 200m Freestyle: Isabel Marie Gose, 1.58.17 Women's 100m Fly: Emily Large tied with Anastasiya Shkurdai, 59.37 Men's 800m Freestyle: Akos Kalmar, 7.55.41 (best race of the day, with 5 guys in less than 2 secs and just 40 1/100 of a sec between 2nd and 4th ranked) Women's 50m Freestyle: Freya Anderson, 25.35 Men's 50m Backstroke: Kliment Kolesnikov, 24.52 (best performance of the day) Mixed 4*100m Medley Relay: Russia, 3.47.99 in the medal table Russia (13 Golds) are quietly flying away from Hungary (9 Golds), with GBR trying to close down on the second spot (6 Golds now). and finally Germany and Belarus extend the Gold Medal club (now with 7 different Nations, still the lowest number ever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Milak, Kolesnikov and Kesely are only doing as much as they have to. Apart from those 3 i don't see many talents who are likely to become world-class. Of course it doesn't help that talents like Anderson, Large, Gose, Shkurdai or Minakov don't seem to have improved much lately. I think especially in men's IM and women's freestlye sprint/back/fly the situation is worrying from a european point of view. We didn't have many breakout performances so far, i don't really see any on the women's side so far and on the men's side i would say only Daniel, Dean and maybe Burdisso (although for him it has been more of a breakout year, i am not sure whether his 200 fly time was even a PB for him). For me clearly the most positive thing has been to see that Israel suddenly has some great talents, especially in men's freestlye, but also in women's 200 IM. Switzerland also has been surprisingly good. The biggest disappointment so far has been Spain. Men's 200 m free tomorrow should be great. From a german perspective the biggest disappointment has been men's 100 fly and there weren't many positive surprises to be honest. The weakness on the men's side is worrying, the same is true about the non-existent improvements of Gose and Tobehn (the two biggest talents in this age group). Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
