The 2018 Danish Open took place over the weekend, with almost 500 swimmers vying for spots on the European Championships and European Junior Championships roster for the nation. Also among the competitors were a faction of foreign athletes originating from countries including Sweden, Norway and Russia. Although Denmark’s high-profile athletes to the tune of Rikke Møller Pedersen and Mie Ø. Nielsen were indeed in the water at the Bellahoj Swimming Stadium, a pair of big names were absent.
Jeremy Stravius, vainqueur du 50 mètres, a dû ne rien lâcher pour l’emporter devant un Turc, Yalim Acimis, et un de ses jeunes équipiers d’Amiens, Maxime Grousset. Les temps paraissent corrects, pour un meeting, respectivement 22s87, 22s95 et 22s99. Et ce 50 mètres me pose dix questions. D’abord, je ne savais pas que la natation turque existait au point d’intercaler un nageur entre Stravius et Grousset. Eh ! bien voilà, maintenant je le sais.
With two months to go until the meet, 14,000 tickets have already been sold for the 2017 European Short-Course Swimming Championships, taking place December 13th-17th.
