Funny that people were criticizing the Commonwealths for having trouble finding enough competitors for some events, yet even here at the Europeans they're not able to fill the pool for some of these relays.
Has Hoszuth won all of Hungary's medals? She should hold an independence referendum.
What a thrilling relay race. Pellegrini & Hosszu showing their class.
As good as Hosszu has been in Berlin Sara Sjostrom of Sweden has been even better. She split a huge 1:53 as the third swimmer on that relay for the Swedes (a full 3 seconds faster than either Pelligrini or Hosszu!).
Carlin is now the hot favourite for the 1500 and (in my opinion) at minimum a co-favourite in the 400 free as well. Globally she's easily the 2nd best distance swimmer in the world right now. If Taylor can get healthy before the women's medley they might be able to give Denmark a scare. A big IF though.

You're right, Sjoestrom has been sensational.
I think for GB to be having such a good comp when there are so many top class British swimmers not competing is extremely encouraging.
Not the worlds greatest swimming fan but am enjoying these championships. more success for the home nations following on from the Commonwealth Games and European Athletics Championship.
Another GOLD for GB Sarah Barrow in the 10m Platform Diving. Thats the sixth gold at the championships think that equals our highest ever.

Story here. She is the first British woman to take a solo European Diving gold since 1927, would you believe!
Glasgow have been confirmed as hosts for the 2018 Europeans, so we will have back to back championships in the UK over the next four years as London are the hosts for 2016.

Exactly. German guy was in control, but maybe thought he already had won, slided in. 2/100 difference
That was the same woman?
I'm watching it with the sound off and I just assumed it was a pair of sisters.

She was DNS for her 400m heat this morning, so obviously concentrating on the 1500m.

What makes you say that, you seem to be well in to it on here?
Any ex competitive swimmers on here, or current ones?
Good swim I agree.
I have never seen Fran do a 50 back before at this level, good swim by her there.
Well done Molly Renshaw on a British record.
Its great that these championships are coming to the UK (or an independant Scotland).
Yes more to come! Gonna have to watch that final tomorrow. Could be a good night with Jazz Carlin one of the favorites for the 1500m
Forget about Jazz not in the 1500m!
