2026 European Swimming ChampionshipsThe second night of finals from the 2026 European Championships promises to be another exciting one as the session kicks off with four straight individual finals after there was only one on Day 1. Leading the way is Egor Kornev, who set new Russian and European Championship Records in the semis in 22.36, ranking him #3 all-time. Then, the men’s 100 free features another stacked field, with five men having broken 48 seconds in the prelims, and two-time defending champion David Popovici leading the way at 47.13. Neutral Athletes B also won gold at the 2025 World Championships in the event, while the Netherlands, Italy and Poland were the other European nations in the final. Shanahan narrowly missed the European Championship Record of 2:06.08, set by Margherita Panziera in 2021, and now ranks 19th all-time in the event.
