51,87 split for Heemskerk, damn. If ever there was a swimmer who is infinitely better in relays than individually...

Ah, the mother of all circus events to close the day.

British sea-lions showing superb ball-balancing skills there.

Apparently,  jumps ahead of  for the fourth best non-qualified time in the 4x100 medley relay. I didn't see that coming!

Bronze for Christou in the 100m backstroke! It would've been nice to win a different medal since he also won bronze in this event in 2016 and 2018, but it's better than nothing.

 

Second time ever swimming under 53 seconds (even though his semifinal time would've been enough for gold)

[Agger 1,663]

When the Danish girls do so well that we got close to an Olympic spot, you suddenly feel a bit disappointed! Had Marina been as good as in the heats, they could very well have been on the way.

What is up with the equipment at this ECh? First the underwater speakers at artistic swimming, now the timing system here. The result of the women's 100m backstroke final has been invalidated and the final will be rescheduled tomorrow. 

 

Edit: Swimswam was reporting it incorrectly, the final will be at 20:45 today.

Big disappointment for Toussaint, thats got to be rough to go from a silver to 4th

[Werloc 3,171]

Danas Rapšys is unhappy with his performance here, but is very glad that he could use the European Championships as a rehearsal and that gives the opportunity for him and his coach to analyse what went wrong and fix these details so that he would be ready for OG.

Anyone have the full result for the original 100m backstroke final? Dutch NOS only has a live stream one can't 'rewatch', so you either watch live or not at all (meaning I had to watch everything without commentary later last night and only now heard about this 100m backstroke drama).
