[colonelhall]

Has anyone found a link to the results?

[swimstore]

Results: http://pss-online.dudework.com/2008/evropsko/

[Apostle]

these sem to be very late being posted. They still only have the start lists. Are they starting late?

[swimstore]

Maybe there not live?

[Apostle]

Oh Booooooo!

[Apostle]

I'm underwhelmed by the results service at these champs!!! Last year they were live. Even the results from the backwater of Monterrey were live!

[swimstore]

Think CTS did the results last year.

[colonelhall]

There was a time when you had to wait a month to read the results in the Swimming Times. Now we take it for granted that we can get instant results. Certainly makes following the sport more interesting. All the more disappointing to see the poor performance of this service!

[Apostle]

Only info I have been able to get is that Chris W-H has gone 56.0 in his 100 back heat this morning. So thats better form than the worlds!

[colonelhall]

Good News! The results links are up.
Bad News! They don't work.

[swimstore]

Seems to be working now

[Mac]

A few good results so far - te pick of the bunch being Anna Bochmannwinning the 400IM in a swift 4.46. The 4 x 100 free boys were very unlucky not to medal in a very high fast final

[Apostle]

Yep. Looking good for today as well. We have four swimmers in the 200IM semi's and I think Robbie was not at his fastest after a good show in the 200 fly.

Hoping Chris can put it all together for a gold in the 100 back.

Belgrade is 1 hour in front so that action starts a 4 our time.

Belgrade is 1 hour in front so that action starts a 4 our time.See the Q next to the swimmers' times on the results? That means qualified and if there is no Q that means not qualified. Each team can enter 4 but only two can go through to the next round.

[Apostle]

Ah OK.

[Apostle]

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO.

Gold medal.

Well done Chris. 55.44 in the 100m Backstroke.

[Apostle]

ANNE BOCHMANN makes it two out of two with Gold in the 400m freestyle with a time of 4:12.51 to win by 0.02!!!

[Apostle]

I believe those two swims are also both new british Age group records.

Chris beating Marco's 55.63 set last year

Anne Beating Jordon Tomlinson's record of 4:16.78 set in 2005

Fantastic swims from both.

[Apostle]

Robbie Pavoni safely into the final of the 200 fly with a 2:01.55

[Apostle]

results seem to have dried up at the moment.

[Apostle]

Up and running again.

Can't seem to find out how the girls got on in the 200 fly final. But Mohammed Xavier and Robbie Pavoni finished 1-2 in the semi's. with 2:01.77 and 2:03.85 respectivley

Lucy Ellis came 8th in the 100 free with a time of 57.54

And Robert Holderness Just missed a bronze with a time of 2:15.56 in the 200 breast. Andrew Willis went 2:16.94 to come 6th

[Apostle]

Aimee Wilmott comes 5th with a 2:16.50 in the 200m Backstroke

[Apostle]

Olivia Sefton came 6th with a 2:16.20 and Lucy Worral 7th with 2:16.63 in the 200 fly.

[doublexpresso]

The Juniors seem to be in good shape - both in Belgrade and in Sheffield, many impressive results putting these youngsters in a good position compared to the 18+ swimmers. Hope they are able to maintain and improve over the next 4 years.

[Apostle]

Hi all. First of all apologies to Xavier Mohammed. Yesterday I called him Mohammed Xavier by mistake.

Quiet at work so I'll post the results as we go if you like

[Apostle]

first results in.
Silver Fox will be happy to see Dan Sliwinski in the final of the 50 breast with a 28.70. Russell Smith is 1st reserve.

Alexandra Hooper is 2nd reserve for the 50 Back

[Apostle]

SILVER for Robbie Pavoni in a great time of 1:59.94 which I believe is a new 17 year British Age group record.

I can see his dad going absolutley bonkers now !!!!!

[Apostle]

Rebeccea Turner qualifies for 200m freestyle fnal with 2:03.42

[Apostle]

Both Chris Walker Hebborn and Xaavier Mohammed qualify for tomorows final of the 200 back with times of 2:02.22 and 2:03.22 respectively.

[Apostle]

Robert Bale comes fifth in the boys 100m freestyle in 50.35

[Apostle]

Looking forward to the result in the 200IM where Robbie and Xavier have a great chance of a 1-2, whichever way round it is. Looking at the records, looks like both boys set new British Age records in the semi.

[Apostle]

GOLD for Xavier in another 18 year age group record of 2:00.73 to win by nearly 3 seconds. Robbie came third for his second medal of the day with a 2:04.03

[Apostle]

Thats also a European Junior record for Xavier.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[Apostle]

5th place for Dan Sliwinski in the 50 Breast with 28.40 just ouside his own age group record.

[Gina]

Awesome time from Xav and I'm sure he'll be happy with that seeing as he hasn't been too happy with some of his swim lately.

Great swim from Chris W-H. I bet Marco will be happy for him after he beat his record!!! Did Chris carry on the tradition and cry when he won :D

[Linny]

Awesome time from Xav and I'm sure he'll be happy with that seeing as he hasn't been too happy with some of his swim lately. Indeedy! 2:00. is a pretty amazing time for anyone! Great stuff.

[swimleeds]

Thought I would mention Emma Graham (Co Leeds) with a 4th place in the 1500m.

[irish]

Awesome time from Xav and I'm sure he'll be happy with that seeing as he hasn't been too happy with some of his swim lately.

Great swim from Chris W-H. I bet Marco will be happy for him after he beat his record!!! Did Chris carry on the tradition and cry when he won :D

Marco is very happy with the results from C W-H, he is watching the results from Canada ...........and I know that he will be very happy to see that Xav is back to his best.well done to all ..and Gold in the relay....

[Apostle]

What a great swim last night from the boys in the 4x200 relay final. Well done all. I also see that it was almost identical to the time from the boys in Canada in the tri nations meet.

[Apostle]

Another gold for gb and C W-H in the 200 backstroke with 1:59.61, a british age group record again. Xav was 8th in 2:04.16.

[irish]

God C.W.H is on fire this week:)

[Apostle]

Robbie Pavoni wins the 400IM in 4:19 with Xavier Mohammed close behind to take silver in 4:20.

Dan Sliwinski grabs bronze in the 100m breast with 1:02.45.

Just looked at the medal table at GB are running away with it!!.

Hey that sounds good yes.

BEST JUNIOR TEAM IN EUROPE.

Come on the two relay teams.

[Apostle]

fifth place for the girls relay team in 4:13.34

[Apostle]

And just to finiash things off in Style the boys win the 4x100 medley relay in a new Euro Junior record of 3:39.75

The team of C Walker-Hebborn, Dan Sliwinski, James Doolan and Robert Bale finished over a second and a 1/2 in front of Russia.

I make that

10 golds 5 silvers and 3 bronze to officially claim top spot in the medal table from Russia with Italy in third.


Fantastic effort and as we've said before in the thread great news for 2012 and beyond.

well done to you all.

I'd also like to say well done to Dave and all the coaching staff as well.

[Mac]

yeah some really excellent swimming from the junior team. I wouldn't bet against that boys 4 x 100 medley team being in London in 4 years time! As i think i mentioned before somewhere, it's good to see the boys team coming through ith so many strong swims after being in the shadow of the girls for the last couple of years at european juniors.

Well done all!

[Gina]

Some very good results from all over the world from the juniors. They will be up there at 2012 and 2016. They need to have sponsorship deals now. I know some of them are linked to Team Speedo but we never really have swimmers being sponsored by big companies like in the States. It would take some pressure off BS when it comes to funding these swimmers as they get older.

[Apostle]

Talking about sponsorship. Did I read in the news that Britains olympic boxers would have to retrn their funding if they went pro after the games. All 75k a year of it. Is that right?
