Few great results in swimming:

 

52,06 for Russian swimmer Minakov on 100 butterfly

1:00.87 for Vaskina from Russia on 100 backstroke

 

I dont think the time for Vaskina is that impressive, Atherton and Smith have both been much faster already. Of course its still a great time. 52.06 on the other hand is a great time for a guy born in 2002, Russia seems to produce tons of great butterfliers on the mens side, first Pakhomov, then Kuimov and now Minakov. Mens butterfly is clearly the discipline with the most talent right now, hopefully some of those guys will battle it out at junior worlds. We are potentially looking at sub 52 and sub 1:55 to medal at junior worlds ...

Just as a reminder the championship records in those events are 52.28 by Pakhomov from 2015 and 1:56.42 by Seliskar from 2013.

Pakhomov was not that impressive on this WC. Maybe he will be better, but I think he is not guy for good results in future,

Rather interesting seeing Elynor Bäckstedt taking a medal in the Women's ITT. 

She's the daughter of former Paris-Roubaix winner and stage winner in the Tour de France, Magnus Bäckstedt.

yay what a super wednesday

 

btw apparently in the canoeing sprint due to limited conditions in the small lake they use only 4 lanes there some preliminary races, then heates, semifinals and best 4 advance for the finals, remaining 4 to the final "B" for 5th-8th places
