European champion Isabel Gose also reached the final on the second day of the Swimming World Cup in Berlin. The 21-year-old qualified for the final in the evening in sixth place in the 200 m freestyle on Saturday (1:59.70 minutes). The day before, the Magdeburg woman had taken fourth place in the 400 m, her European Championship gold course.
The German record holder Melvin Imoudu (Potsdam/27.59 seconds) and Lucas Matzerath (Frankfurt/27.37) reached the final in the 50 m breaststroke, as did Angelina Köhler (Berlin/26.07 seconds) in the 50 m butterfly. Ramon Klenz (Berlin/2:00.41 minutes) and Oliver Klemet (Frankfurt/2:02.23) qualified in the 200 m butterfly. Meanwhile, European Championship third-placed Ole Braunschweig (Berlin/25.62 seconds) was eliminated in the preliminary heat in tenth place in the 50 m backstroke.
European champion Lukas Märtens will no longer take part in the competitions in the capital (until Sunday). After his preliminary run in the 400 m freestyle on Friday, the 21-year-old canceled his participation in the final as well as the 100 and 200 m. Open water Olympic champion Florian Wellbrock, from the Magdeburg training group, which also includes Gose, had already skipped the World Cup due to illness.
