The European swimming championships have begun. Besides being a good event to push people to reach the A standard it is the event where some nations will finalize their team. For Denmark, Netherlands and Spain this will be the final opportunity for their athletes to qualify while for Russia this is the event for athletes given a second opportunity to be added to the team. For Italy this is the second event (out of 3) where athletes can qualify to the Olympic team.

Forget that. Since he did it as starting swimmer in a relay, the Dutch federation won't accept it and he's not qualified after all.
