German Trials?

[Katie]

Anyone know where I can find the results for the German trials for Europeans? I think they start today or tomorrow and I want to see how a friend does!

Thank you :)

Finals are being swum in the late morning/early afternoon with prelims being held the night before.....to accomodate the World Cup schedule, not the proposed change to Beijing.

Day one finals brought a German record for Britta Steffen in the Women's 100 Free in a time of 54.29.

Thanks for your help :). Not sure if anyone will know the answer to this, but any ideas on the selection policy? Do they just take the top 4, or are there qualifying times for the Europeans? Thank you!

Impressive European record for Helge Meeuw in the 200 Back (1:56.34) breaking the Martin Lopez-Zubero record.

Also very impressed by Annika Liebs' 1:57.56 in the 200 Freestyle.

Good German European Champs team shaping up at this meet.

The Meeuw swim in the 200 back is extremely impressive and a huge move forward for him and German swimming. Leibs also very good. New NPD Mr Madsen already having an effect? Looking forward to going to Budapest even more now!

Great swim by Helge! I really thought Rogan was going to get that record as he wasn't too far off in Montreal.

It will be interesting to see if they'll be able to maintain this level for Europeans. Sometimes in the past they've left their best swims at trials.
