The fourth day of the European Swimming Championship in 25ara pool, which is being held in Kazan, started impressively for Greece. Dimitris Markos set a national record in the 200m. free throwing down with a time of 1: 45.60 the 1: 46.16 of Andreas Zisimos, which he held since 2007.
The athlete from NO Kalamaki was 20th in the standings and advanced to the afternoon (17:58) semifinals, as higher were four Italians, four Dutch and three Russians (from each country, only two can qualify). Thus, the 20-year-old swimmer will have the opportunity to do another race and further improve his time.
Anna Doutounaki scored the fourth performance of the qualifiers in the 100m. butterfly and of course qualified for the afternoon (18:08) semifinals. The Haniotissa champion, who is one of the candidates for a place on the podium, finished at 57.67, but it is certain that she can swim much faster, as she has 56.76 this year, while her individual and national record is 56.44.
In the afternoon, in addition to the two aforementioned semifinals, they also have two Greek participations in finals. At 17:30 Andreas Vazaios competes in the 200m. mixed individual, being the favorite to defend the title of European champion, while a little later (17:43) Apostolos Christou will claim a medal in the 100m. backstroke.
