Swimming World Cup: Gose swims to the final

European champion Isabel Gose has reached the final of the 800 m freestyle at the World Swimming Championships in Doha.

The 21-year-old from Magdeburg was the fastest in the heats on Friday after 8:26.49 minutes and thus has the chance to win the third medal on her third route in Qatar as well as another Olympic ticket on Saturday (6:23 p.m. CET). . Gose already has this secured after her bronze medals in the 400 and 1500 m.

World champion Angelina Köhler, who won gold in the 100 m butterfly on Monday, reached the semi-finals in the evening (6.17 p.m. CET) in her first race after her great triumph over half the distance.

The 23-year-old from Berlin swam on the track alongside the Swedish defending champion and world record holder Sarah Sjöström (24.88 seconds) to sixth place overall in the heats in 25.92 seconds.

On Monday, Köhler became the first German pool swimmer to win a World Championship gold medal in almost 15 years. Britta Steffen last achieved this in Rome in 2009 with her double success in the 50 and 100 m freestyle.
