Day 4 Prelims Live Recap
The fourth night of the 2024 European Championships features finals of the men’s 100 butterfly, women’s 50 backstroke, men’s 200 breaststroke, women’s 200 freestyle, and men’s 4×100 free along with semifinals of the men’s 200 free, women’s 100 fly, men’s 50 back, and women’s 200 breast.
European record holder Kristof Milak will kick off the session in the men’s 100 fly final, where he’ll try to hold off Hungarian teammate Hubert Kos, who led the semifinals with a time of 51.31.
Romanian star David Popovici enters as the top seed in the men’s 200 free semis at 1:45.44, fresh off blazing the third-fastest 100 free ever (46.88) last night.
The final individual event of the evening should be a fun one as rising USC sophomore Minna Abraham aims to become the first-ever Hungarian to capture the women’s 200 free crown. The 18-year-old fired off a personal-best 1:57.65 to pace the semifinals ahead of Barbora Seemanova (1:57.81) and Snaefrifdur Sol Jorunnardottir (1:57.87).
