Day 4 of the 2024 European Championships has arrived. Today promises to be the most exciting day of the meet yet, as there are a number of key races to watch out for. 18-year-old Lana Pudar is making her debut at this meet, coming in as the top seed in the women’s 100 fly this morning. She enters with a 56.95, making her the top seed by well over half a second.
Additionally, Romanian superstar David Popovici will be racing in the men’s 200 free this morning. After his 46.8 in the 100 free last night, Popovici enters as the top seed in the 200 free this morning with a 1:44.70. Popovici holds the Championship Record with the 1:42.97 he swam at the 2022 European Championships.
Israel’s Michael Laitarovsky comes in as the top seed in the men’s 50 back this morning, entering with a 23.96, which is just 0.16 seconds off the European Record in the event.
