The penultimate day of the 2024 European Championships will feature the men’s 50 free, women’s 200 fly, men’s 100 back, women’s 50 breast, men’s 200 IM, and the mixed 4×200 free relay. This will be the shortest prelims session of the meet so far, set to clock in at approximately 1 hour.
We’ll start out with 9 heats of the men’s 50 free, where Ukraine’s Vladyslav Bukhov is entered as the top seed with a 21.38. He’s the top seed by a considerable margin, as Bjorn Seeliger is seeded 2nd at 21.67.
The women’s 200 fly will see Lana Pudar entered as the top seed in the event. She comes in with a 2:06.26, just ahead of Denmark’s Helena Bach, who is 2nd with a 2:06.93. Of note, there are only 18 swimmers entered in the women’s 200 fly, so we may not see terribly fast times out of the heats this morning.
