^4:06:61 to qualify for the 400 free as well. Second place again after Kesely though.

But did she have the AirPods on in the race :mumble:?

Athletes who hit the qualification times at european junior championships:

 

Men:

:GER Artem Selin 50 free (21.83)

:SWE Robin Hanson 200 free (1:46.93)

:GER Sven Schwarz 800 free (7:53.74)

:RUS Ilia Sibirtsev 800 free (7:53.34)

:RUS Aleksandr Egorov 800 free (7:52.83)

:RUS Andrei Minakov 100 butterfly (51.66)

:GRE Apostolos Papastamos 400 IM (4:15.18)

 

Women:

:ITA Giulia Salin 800 free & 1500 free (8:29.19 & 16:13.59)

:TUR Beril Boecekler 1500 free (16:21.39)

:HUN Viktor Mihalyvari Farkas 1500 free (16:26.03)

:RUS Daria Vaskina 100 back (1:00.17)

:ITA Erika Gaetani 200 back (2:10.28)

:BLR Anastasyia Shkurdai 100 butterly (57.39)

:RUS Evgeniia Chikunova 200 breast (2:21.07)

 

Not sure if some of them (Minakov, Vaskina, Shkurdai, Chikunova) didn't already hit the qualification times earlier ... ? Boekecler, Gaetani and Chikunova (all born in 2004) must be among the youngest "qualified" athletes on the women's side, while Minakov, Selin and Schwarz (all born in 2002) must be among the youngest "qualified" athletes on the men's side.

 

I think this as well shows that the qualification time for women's 1500 free (and also women's 800 free and women's 200 back) is way too soft ...

Did you only count 2 athletes per event? If not, then I don't think this is right for Germany:

 

Men:

Poul Zellmann (200 free)

Florian Wellbrock (400 free, 800 free, 1500 free)

Ruwen Straub (1500 free)

Christian Diener (200 back)

Marco Koch (200 breast)

Maximilian Pilger (200 breast)

Marius Kusch (100 butterfly)

David Thomasberger (200 butterfly)

Philip Heintz (200 IM & 400 IM)

 

Women:

Leonie Antonia Beck (400 free & 800 free)

Sarah Köhler (800 free & 1500 free)

Lea Boy (1500 free)

Celine Rieder (1500 free)

Laura Riedemann (100 back)

Angelina Köhler (100 butterfly)

Franziska Hentke (200 butterfly)

 

-> 16 athletes in total (+ Selin and Schwarz, so currently 18 for Germany)

I'm not sure these times count, this EJC is not in the list of qualification events approved by FINA.

 

correct, the Junior Europeans should not be considered for what concerns the OQ times...

    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck? 
    • Qualified for the Grand Prix Final   Men: 1.  Ilia Malinin 2.  Yuma Kagiyama 3.  Shun Sato  4.  Adam Siao Him Fa 5.  Kevin Aymoz 6.  Daniel Grassl   Final Standings   Women: 1.  Kaori Sakamoto 2.  Amber Glenn 3.  Wakaba Higuchi 4.  Hana Yoshida 5.  Mone Chiba 6.  Rino Matsuike   Final Standings   Pairs: 1.  Deanna Stellato-Dudek / Maxime Deschamps 2.  Riku Miura / Ryuichi Kihara 3.  Minerva Fabienne Hase / Nikita Volodin 4.  Sara Conti / Niccolo Macii 5.  Anastasiia Metelkina / Luka Berulava 6.  Ellie Kam / Danny O'Shea   Final Standings   Ice Dance: 1.  Lilah Fear / Lewis Gibson 2.  Madison Chock / Evan Bates 3.  Piper Gilles / Paul Poirier 4.  Charlene Guignard / Marco Fabbri 5.  Evgeniia Lopareva / Geoffrey Brissaud 6.  Marjorie Lajoie / Zachary Lagha   Final Standings   The Grand Prix Final will be held in Grenoble, from 5 to 8 December.
