Serbia with only 7 swimmers on EC And no female swimmer Best Serbian female swimmer right now Anja Crevar because of obligations at school will not be able to go. I hope for 2 finals and maybe one medal in 200 freestyle and A standard for Lendjer on 100 bf.

The European Aquatics Championships starts this Monday. Lithuanian team:

 

DIVING

• Indrė Marija Girdauskaitė, Women's Springboard
• Genevieve Akvilė Green Angerame, Women's Springboard and Platform

SWIMMING

• Rūta Meilutytė, Women's 100m Breaststroke (due broken arm last fall she focused only on one event)
• Ugnė Mažutaitytė, Women's 50m, 100m and 200m Backstroke
• Raminta Dvariškytė, Women's 200m Breaststroke
• Giedrius Titenis, Men's 50m and 100m Breaststroke, 4x100m Medley Relay 
• Simonas Bilis, Men's 50m and 100m Freestyle, 50m Butterfly, 4x100m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay
• Danas Rapšys, Men's 100m and 200m Backstroke, 200m Freestyle, 4x100m Freestyle Relay, 4x100m Medley Relay
• Andrius Šidlauskas, Men's 100m and 200m Breaststroke
• Povilas Strazdas, Men's 100m and 200m Freestyle, 100m Butterfly, 200m Individual Medley, 4x100m Freestyle Relay
• Deividas Margevičius, Men's 50m, 100m and 200m Butterfly, 4x100m Medley Relay
• Mindaugas Sadauskas, Men's 50m and 100m Freestyle, 4x100m Freestyle Relay
• Tadas Duškinas, Men's 50m and 100m Butterfly, 50m and 100m Freestyle
• Gytis Stankevičius, Men's 50m, 100m and 200m Backstroke

 

Basically some of already qualified swimmers sacrificing some events so other Lithuanian swimmer would have a chance to reach OQT in same event (Titenis in 200m Breaststroke. Rapšys in 200m IM). Basically coaches expect for that top 4 time in 4x100m freestyle relay world rankings, OQT from Mažutaitytė, Šidlauskas and Margevičius and maybe OQT or close results from Strazdas and Sadauskas.

I hope Stjepanovic will miss 400m in Rio. He is not good anymore in this discipline. 200m is his discipline and he should fous only on that
