While competing on the final day of the 2025 German Championships, 23-year-old Anna Elendt lowered her own German national record in the women’s 200m breaststroke.
Elendt fired off a time of 2:23.54 to shave another .39 off the 2:23.93 German benchmark she put on the books just last month at the Berlin Swim Open.
Tonight, Elendt beat the field by nearly 4 seconds. Lena Ludwig was the next-closest competitor in 2:27.33 while Hannah Schneider rounded out the podium in 2:29.07.
Splits between Elendt’s former and new records are below, with the former University of Texas Longhorn bringing some extra speed on the front half this time around.
