Isi ke saath men’s 4×200 freestyle relay bhi hoga, jisme Brits favorites hain.
MAKING OLYMPIC HISTORY
ROMANIA
David Popovici ne European Olympic history ki shuruaat pehle men’s final se ki. 19 saal ke Popovici ne pichle teen saalon se jo hype unke aas-paas thi, uspar khare utar kar men’s 200 freestyle relay mein Olympic champion ban gaye. Unki jeet pehli baar hai jab kisi Romanian man ne Olympic Games mein pool mein gold jeeta. Wo 2004 ke baad pehle Romanian hain jinhone kisi bhi color ka medal jeeta, jab Camelia Potec ne women’s 200 freestyle mein gold jeeta aur Razvan Florea ne men’s 200 backstroke mein bronze jeeta tha.
Iss event ke itihaas mein teesre sabse tez performer, Popovici ne race ke ant tak lead nahi ki. Wo final turn pe dusre number par the, 400 free champion Lukas Märtens se .37 seconds peeche. Popovici ne apne lambe haathon ka faayda uthaya aur finish pe Matt Richards, Luke Hobson, aur Duncan Scott ko piche chhod diya, jab sabhi ne aakhri 50 meters mein zabardast takkar di. Sabhi ne final lap pe 26.7 time kiya, lekin Popovici ka field-best 26.74 unke liye farak layi aur unhone Richards ko .02 seconds se piche chhod diya.
International stage pe Romanian ke liye yeh ek badi wapsi hai. Wo is season mein iss event mein aur tez rahe hain, lekin jaisa ke yeh Olympics sabit kar raha hai, yeh samay ke baare mein nahi balki race ke baare mein hai. 2023 World Championships mein, Popovici poori race mein lead karte rahe lekin ant mein 4th pe rahe aur podium tak nahi pahunch paye apni 2022 ki jeet ke baad. Aaj, unhone dikhaya ki wo bas ek choti si galti thi, jab unhone duniya ke sabse achhe closers ke sath samna kiya aur jeet haasil ki.
“Yeh khoobsurat hai, yeh ek sapna sach hone jaisa hai,” race ke baad unhone kaha. “Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha kaise bayaan karoon. Yeh itna simple hai, phir bhi itna khoobsurat.”
ITALY
“Yeh saboot hai ke kabhi kabhi aap haar jaate ho, lekin aap usse seekh sakte ho,” Thomas Ceccon ne apna pehla individual Olympic gold medal jeetne ke baad kaha, jab unhone men’s 100 backstroke mein jeet haasil ki. Ceccon 2023 World Championships ka zikr kar rahe hain, jahan unhone apna 2022 Worlds ka gold defend nahi kiya tha (jab unhone current world record banaya) aur Ryan Murphy ke peeche reh kar silver jeeta tha, kyunki wo “thode slow the aur kuch galtiyaan hui thi, warmups ke dauraan bhi.”
Lekin jaise Ceccon ne kaha, unhone iss baar wohi galtiyaan nahi ki. Iska natija yeh hua ke unhone Italy ke liye men’s 100 backstroke mein pehla medal jeeta. Unhone 52.00 ka samay banate hue jeet haasil ki, Xu Jiayu aur Murphy se aage rahkar, jo unke career ka teesra sabse tez swim hai.
Yeh Ceccon ka chautha Olympic medal hai kyunki unhone ek silver aur do bronze Italian relays mein jeete hain. Unki jeet ne Italian men’s medley relay ke liye meet ke ant mein ek badi boost di hai. Ab, relay ke pehle aadhe champions hain, kyunki Nicolo Martinenghi ne kal 100 breaststroke mein gold jeeta. Ceccon aur Martinenghi ne bhi apne respective 100s of stroke 2022 World Championships mein jeete the, jahan unhone meet ko close karte hue U.S. ko medley relay mein haraaya tha.
IRELAND
Mona McSharry ne women’s 100 breaststroke mein bronze jeetkar Ireland ke liye 1996 ke baad pehla Olympic medal jeeta. McSharry final ke liye second-fastest qualifier thi, jab unhone semifinals mein apna Irish record 1:05.51 toda. Final mein unhone bas us mark ko miss kiya, 1:05.59 ka samay banate hue apna pehla Olympic medal jeeta.
“Jab mujhe laga tha ke main khatam ho gayi hoon, tabhi mujhe samajh aaya ke main yeh sab kiske liye karti hoon,” McSharry ne apni race ke baad kaha. “Yeh ek bada bonus hai, lekin iske alawa bhi bahut si cheezein hain jo iske saath aati hain, jaise training aur mere doston ko compete karte dekhna, aur apne aap ko progress aur behtar hote hue dekhna. Aur phir aapko aisa bonus milta hai jab aap podium par khade hote hain aur apne desh ka flag Olympic Games mein uthte hue dekhte hain.”
23 saal ki McSharry senior international women’s 100 breaststroke field mein ek consistent presence ban gayi hain. Unhone Tokyo Olympics mein final banaya tha aur pichle do World Championships mein 5th place pe finish kiya. Wo University of Tennessee mein training karti hain aur 2021 SCM World Championships mein 100 breaststroke mein bronze jeeta tha. Jabki unhone pehle bhi kaafi senior international finals banaye hain, yeh unka pehla senior international long-course medal hai.
DAY 2 QUICK HITS
Matt Richards ne apna pehla individual Olympic medal jeeta, men’s 200 freestyle mein silver hasil karke. Richards ne 2023 World Championships mein breakout kiya, apne pehle individual Worlds final mein 200 freestyle title jeetkar. Aur ab, unhone Olympic silver jeetkar us jeet ko follow up kiya. Richards race ke dauran podium position mein rahe; unhone 150-meter mark par third turn liya lekin 26.75 close karte hue silver jeet liya 1:44.74 mein, .02 seconds Popovici ke peeche. British team ke liye ek aur nazdeek miss dekha gaya jab Duncan Scott 4th place pe finish hue 200 free mein, 1:44.87 mein Hobson se .08 seconds peeche. Freya Colbert bhi women’s 400 IM mein 4th place pe rahi, jab Emma Weyant ne final 100m mein unhe piche chhod diya. Colbert ka samay 4:35.67 raha.
Dono French women women’s 100 backstroke final mein pahunch gayi hain. Beryl Gastaldello aur Emma Terebo 7th aur 8th place pe qualify karke final mein pohonch gayi, iska matlab French crowd kal raat ke final ke pehle do walkouts mein bahut zor se cheer karegi. Gastaldello ne 59.29 swim kiya aur Terebo ne 59.50 clock kiya lane 8 secure karne ke liye.
British team ke liye automatically qualify na karne ke baad, Angharad Evans ko British coaches dwara discretionary pick kiya gaya. Aaj, unhone 6th place pe finish kiya 1:05.85 mein. Evans, 21, turn pe third thi (30.61) aur back half pe 35.24 split kiya, finishing .57 seconds gold medalist Tatjana Schoenmaker ke peeche.
DAY 2 CONTINENTAL AND NATIONAL RECORDS
Lucas Henveaux ne Belgian record board ko lagataar update karte rahe hain. Kal apna 200 freestyle national record reset karne ke baad, Henveaux ne aaj heats ke dauran apna 800 free record bhi kam kiya. Unhone 7:51.51 ka samay banaya aur 19th place pe finish kiya, apne pichle mark 7:52.10 ko jo unhone iss saal ke shuruaat mein 2024 World Championships mein banaya tha, aur behtar banaya.
Women’s 100 backstroke ke prelims mein, Carmen Weiler Sastre ne Spanish record 59.57 ka banaya. Unhone purane record ko .19 seconds se toda aur semifinals ke liye qualify kiya, jahan wo 9th place pe finish hui aur final ke liye qualify karne se bas reh gayi.
