Kira Toussaint has qualified with the women’s relay in the 4×100 meter freestyle at the World Championships in Doha. The swimmer from Assendelft achieved a time of 3.40.42 with Kim Busch, Milou van Wijk and Janna van Kooten. Reigning champion Australia is the fastest with 3:38.33, followed by Italy (3:39.20) and Canada (3:39.75).
Imani de Jong is unable to reach the final in the 400 meter freestyle. The 21-year-old from Hoofddorp has the sixteenth fastest time (4.14.20) and is therefore far away from the top eight, which will continue.
Thank you for following our live blog about the AZ match against Almere City. Of course there will be plenty of regional top sport again tomorrow. We are present at the Greeting from Schoorl Run and at the North Holland derby between Blauw-Wit and Groen Geel in the Korfball League.
