    Mie Ø. Nielsen saved the day for Denmark, well and truly. Yuliya Efimova broke the women’s 200 meter breaststroke world record, Nielsen the women’s 100 backstroke European record, Russia an (obligatory?) world record in the mixed 4×50 medley, and Sarah Sjöström a championships record in the 50 fly.

    Women’s 800 freestyle

    Much to the home crowd’s delight, Lotte Friis went out fast and led by 1 growing to 3 seconds the first few hundredth meters, before Spain’s Mireia Belmonte started to reel her in, passing her at about 550 meters. Belmonte gold in 8:05.16, Lotte Friis silver in 8:08.68, and the Netherlands’ Sharon Rouwendaal bronze in 8:14.24.

    Men’s 400 individual medley

    Quite the race, this one, Hungary’s David Verraszto taking charge the first couple of hundreth meters, but Israel’s Gal Nevo then passing him at 350 before Verraszto somehow found the strength again to win in 4:03.48, Nevo second in 4:03.50 and Italy’s Federico Turrini third in 4:03.94.

    Women’s 200 breaststroke

    Again an early charge from the Danish favorite, Rikke Møller Pedersen leading by up to one second at the 100 before Russia’s Yuliya Efimova took over and won the race in a new World record time of 2:14.39, Pedersen second in 2:15.21 and Russia’s Vitalina Simonova third in 2:18.88.

    Women’s 100 backstroke

    The event of the night, at least judging by the reaction of the spectators, when youngster Mie Ø. Nielsen blasted the 100 meter breaststroke in a tough race with Czech swimmer Simona Baumrtova to win in a new European record of 55.99, Baumrtova second in 56.28 and Daryna Zevina bronze in 56.94.

    Men’s 100 butterfly

    Germany’s Steffen Deibler took it out hard at seemed for the uninitiated as the probable winner, until he lost steam at the very end, Russia’s Evgeny Korotyshkin taking gold in 49.68, French swimmer Jeremy Stravius silver in 50.09 and Deibler bronze in 50.23.

    Women’s 50 butterfly

    A tight race between Sweden’s Sarah Sjöström and Denmark’s Jeanette Ottesen, Sjöström taking the gold in a new championships record of 24.90, Jeanette Ottesen the silver in 25.03 and the Netherlands’ Inge Dekker the bronze in 25.29.

    Mixed 4×50 medley

    A fun race this one, especially at the end when Russia’s Vladimir Morozov was akin to the roadrunner in the cartoons, racing past the ladies to secure the gold medal and world record for Russia, 1:37.63 to silver winner Germany’s 1:39.32 and very happy bronze winners Czech Republic in 1:39.54.
