The first Ukrainian to participate in the evening session of the 20125 World Cup was 22-year-old Zaporozhye Maxim Ovchinnikov. Maxim traveled the 200 meter in the qualification for 2.11.07 and made his way into the semifinals with 11th time. Among those who were beyond the boundary of the 16-ki pass were in particular the newly made bronze medalist of the World Championship in the distance twice as shorter Denis Petrashov from Kyrgyzstan. In the semifinals, sheeps sailed faster – 2.10,95. This result is close to his personal record (2.10.53). But even with him, the eight finalists would not have made it. Today it is 14th and can state some stability, because to the semi-final of the 200 meters in the lampinates of the world of Ovchinnikov breaks for the third time in a row. And the best time in the semifinals now showed Japanese Ipa Watanabe – 2.08,01.
But unfortunately, Alexander Zheltyakov did not surprise. After a frankly weak speech on a hundred meters on the back, our 19-year-old swimmer failed his crown discipline-a spinal 200-meter, at which he was a European champion last year. Compare 2.02,17, for which Alexander sailed today, with his last year’s championship time at the euro in Belgrade (1,55,39) and horror. It is difficult to explain the roots of such striking recourse. Today, Zheltyakov became only 33 in the qualification, but unfortunately, this is not a sensation.
Sensation is not to simulate even in the semifinals of the Olympic champion on a hundred meter on the back of Thomas Chekcon from Italy. With the result of 1.57.15 it became the first impassable, 17th. Also, the sieve of qualifications was not able to overcome the other Olympioniki Lucas Mertens from Germany. But the Medium and Long Rabbit Swimming King has never been a big swimming specialist on his back. Interestingly, he could well be outside the 16 semi-finalists and Singapore-2025 sensational champion on the spinal hundred meter Peter from South Africa. In qualification, he sailed for 1,57,11 and became 16th. But in the semifinals, the coat was completely different: it showed a completely best time (1,54,22) and set a new record of Africa.
