Kicking off the morning is the women’s 400 freestyle. Barbora Seemanova of Czech Republic enters as the top seed (4:03.41) and has been on a roll this week. Seemanova won the 100 and 200 freestyles already and will look for her 3rd win. She holds the national record in the event already, lowering her best time last month, and also swam to a new national record in the 100 free this week with a 53.50. Hungary’s Ajna Kesely already won the 800 this week and enters the 400 as the #2 seed with a 4:06.35.
Austria’s Felix Auboeck will enter the water for the first time this week in Serbia as the top seed in the men’s 400 free with a 3:44.14. Auboeck notably finished just off of the podium in the event at the 2020(1) Tokyo Olympics. Switzerland’s Antonio Djakovic enters as the #2 in a 3:44.22 and will look to claim a spot in the final out of the first circle seeded heat. Auboeck will be next to Lithuania’s Danas Rapsys who already won silver in the 200 free this week.
The women’s 4×100 medley relay will be the first relay of the morning and 12 countries are expected to swim in the event. The 100 stroke winners from the week hail from Poland (backstroke), Estonia (breaststroke), Belgium (butterfly) and Czech Republic (Freestyle). Only Poland has a relay entered here.
The men’s 4×100 medley relay closes the morning with 15 entries. The 100 stroke winners hail from backstroke (N/A), Germany (breaststroke), Hungary (butterfly), and Romania (freestyle). Germany and Hungary are expected to race in this relay.
