We’re now just hours away from the start of the 2023 European Short Course Championships in the Romanian town of Otopeni, the same hub that played host to the European Junior Championships in the summer of 2022.
The six-day event will feature some of the biggest names in Europe, headlined by hometown favorite David Popovici, and will be available to be streamed live throughout its duration.
Although there’s no definitive live stream link as of yet, European Aquatics has said the competition will be streamed live on the meet website, which you can find here.
Additionally, the meet is also expected to be featured on LEN TV, which you can find here.

In addition to Popovici, who is the defending champion in the 200 free, the event will feature a star-studded lineup that includes other men’s defending champions Szebasztian Szabo (50 free, 50/100 fly), Nicolo Martinenghi (100 breast), Alberto Razzetti (200 fly) and Andreas Vazaios (200 IM), in addition to a stacked British group that includes Duncan Scott, Tom Dean and Ben Proud.
Frenchman Maxime Grousset is perhaps the male swimmer coming in with the most momentum after a big showing at the French Short Course Championships in October.
There’s also Italian speedster Thomas Ceccon in the mix, the reigning world champion in the 100 IM who is also entered to race the 200 IM.
On the women’s side, Anastasiia Kirpichnikova (400/800/1500 free), Kira Toussaint (50/100/200 back) and Martina Carraro (100 breast) are the lone returning defending champions from 2021, while other key entrants include Tes Schouten, Beryl Gastaldello, Louise Hansson and Freya Anderson.
Anybody any where in the world managed to watch a livestream yet??
I got up early (UK) especially to watch.
I’m going round in circles:
LEN YouTube? nothing
Len tv on internet? no
Eurosport.com? didn’t like my browser so downloaded the recommended one. Still nothing.
Tried to re register. Says I am registered but unauthorised?? Shows the stream is live but I can’t log in- just the wheel of doom.
It’s almost as if they DONT WANT YOU TO WATCH THE SWIMMING.
French here so I probably don’t have the right answer for you but just in case :
I went to eurovisionsport.com and needed to register (for free. I thought it was aquatics.eurovision which I already use sometimes but no) BUT when it went live it redirected me to france.tv/sport/ because it is the official livestreamer here in France AND I also can rewatch the whole stream on eurovisionsport.com the two sessions are already posted.
I forgot to appreciate how easy it was to watch the us open on youtube !
Days since the Polish Federation embarrassed itself on the international stage- 0
Walachia did recognise polish king as supreme ruler, but for very short period of time at the end of XIV century.
