The first edition of the Swim Cup Lausanne ended on Sunday with Katinka Hosszu again dominating a short course swim meet after she won 9 medals at the 2016 SC World Championships in Canada and she also triumphed in the 2016 World Cup Series – for the 6th consecutive time.

The members of the Swiss Olympic team set some national records: Maria Ugolkova (SC Uster Wallisellen) in the 100m individual medley in a 1:00:6 and Jeremy Desplanches from Geneva in the 400m IM with a new national best of 4:07:46 and he set a second national record in the 100m individual medley with a time of 53:55.

At the end of the two days meet it was no surprise that Katinka Hosszu earned the extra 4.000 CHF bonus for the best performance, valuated in FINA points: She hit the high score with her time of 4:25,13 in the 400m IM – an impressive result at the end of this long Olympic season and without any serious competitor in the race. She got 937 FINA points – ahead of Germany’s Marco Koch who earned 916 points for his result in the 200m breaststroke: 2:04,03.
