^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:?

8. :HUN Hungary - 15

 

For Japan, the 2 athlete quotas for open water swimming are included. Overall, the usual suspects are in attendance. Both Canada and France lag behind with 10 athletes each

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...
