Austria's swimmer shine in the test before the World Cup in Budapest!

little time remains up to the excited swimming world championships in Budapest, which will start next week. As reported krone.at , the entire nine-member Austrian swimming team has completed excellent tests at the National Short Railway Championships in Graz. Simon Bucher from Tyrol, who set two Austrian records, was particularly striking. He swam over 100 meters of dolphin in a time of 49.02 seconds and thus won third place in the world's best annual ranking. He also set a new record over 50 meters back with 23.37 seconds.

The Austrian team, which is flying to Hungary the next Sunday, is well positioned. For women, Iris Julia Berger is the new record holder over 100 meters back with a time of 58.26 seconds. In addition to Berger, Lena Kreundl are also represented in the female squad. In addition to Bucher, Lukas Edl, Heiko Gigler, Bernhard Reitshammer, Andreas Rizek, Christopher Rothbauer and Alexander Trampitsch also travel to Budapest. Some swimmers, such as Felix Auböck and Martin Espernberger, are missing in the contingent. Auböck is working on his doctoral thesis in England while Espernberger takes exams in the USA.
